Thanks guys for sharing your adventures, have enjoyed all your uploads, like the randomness of the explore along with the commentary that makes you feel part of the experience, please keep posting guys
Really interesting stuff. I have been in a few bunkers in Jersey and about a dozen pillboxes in England, but the scale of this complex was great. Good and well put together bit of film. Keep up the good work.
Great to see all this! I've been to Normandy but still a good few on the bucket list to see yet! Hopefully things can get moving again now with easing lockdowns but that don't seem to be happening anytime soon lol!
That was an impressive place and it had a hidden migrant bunker too! Even the rarely-glimpsed Gabe kept appearing. Excellent quality and content as always; looking forward to your next upload. :)
It’s hard to edit myself in much when I’m behind the camera most of the time lol. Also thanks for being such a loyal subscriber Ay Jay and I’m pleased you enjoy the content :)
Great video lads. Im glad that you have done some research on the stp. Its really encouraging that the youth of today are learning about history and not just wandering around, scratching their heads at what they are looking at. If you want to know more of what your looking at, then get a book called ' Regelbauten' by Rudi Rolf. Loads of bunker plans in that book. Btw what is that large flat light that you are using called ? Thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks! We’ll look into that book, it sounds very interesting and would probably give a much more rounded history on the subject matter, rather than the various online articles we had to scroll through! In my opinion you can’t really appreciate a place properly unless you know it’s history (or at least some context) The light we are using is the Neewer CN216 which can be found on amazon for about £25. Thanks for the nice comment :)
We found the room with sleeping bags in pretty creepy - I guess it made us realize what could be in store for us in these dark and isolated places. It definitely helps to explore in a group though. Thanks for watching mate 😀👍
Just a little heads up after our visit to the battery. We went down to the bottom floor. On descending the last set of stairs the air felt very different. Once at the bottom my daughter and I couldn't breathe properly. We couldn't get any oxygen into our lungs. Felt very dizzy, almost pannicked and headed back up the stairs gasping. Not sure if this is a ventillation problem or it was a build up of gas such as methane. I have a video of it off my phone. There was a couple of guys in there from Germany who felt the same. Just be careful if you visit and ensure you are in a group. An incredible piece of history here. All the best and be safe.
Great video again. I think the oblong "windows" may be issue hatches for the magazines. Larger guns often use bagged charges, they are a considerable hazard when being handled; if flame got into a magazine the whole structure could be destroyed in the ensuing explosion. The charges would be issued, as required by the gun, through the hatches, which would act as an 'air lock' so only one side could be open at any one time so If the charges did go off there would be ,relatively, less damage. There is a chap called WW2HistoryHunter who has posted a number of bunker videos, some in Norway/Denmark still have the hatches intact. Take care & stay safe.
Thanks mate, as I said in the video, I believed that they were embrasures, or a way to move shells between the magazines and the centre pivot, so I was sort of right. Also, I believed them to be airtight, but for a different reason; to prevent gas attacks. Said the right stuff without the correct reasoning. Thanks for watching 👍
Another cracking video chaps, keep up the great work your doing taking us to places we can't get to. You should defo check out WW2 history hunter channel Ross mentioned.
Good video guys... But could you not have shown a telephoto picture of what the guns would have been trained upon. My guess is that you could see the whole of the Dover Strait shipping channels from there... or was there something in the way of the direct line of sight..?
That’s a good idea but it unfortunately wouldn’t have been possible - standing on the centre pivot of the gun and looking out, the view is obstructed by the walls surrounding the centre pivot, which are about 7-8ft high. And if you stand on the wall itself, you are a met with a view of dense foliage which presumably wouldn’t have been there during the operation of the site. But the view from some of the taller structures in the neighbouring Batterie Waldam (two of our other videos cover this) is excellent and on a clear day you can make out Dover without much difficulty. Thanks for watching!
Very kool. Did you notice all the various German signage in all the different rooms. You should focus in on it so we can translate it and get a hint of what the rooms were for. I think many of them are slogans or esprit de corps sayings. I can’t believe how many rooms there were. It would be kool to find out how many men were stationed in each battery. I think I read most of those were built with slave labor. Jews, French, POW’s, Poles, Hungarians, Slovaks, Czechs, Russians, anybody that wasn’t a blond hair, blue eyed, Aryan, German, I guess. All that concrete. Could of built a lot of LA freeways with that lot. Luv your subdued music. And I don’t like music in a vid unless it’s a music vid!! But, I like your low volume tunes. Good job. Too bad the U-boat pens up north are not open to the public. They were massive, the most massive war fortifications Germany ever built. Am I wrong? Someone can say. Thanks for this post. Can’t wait to see part 2. Be safe guys. 😎🏳️🌈🇺🇸
Cheers mate, yeah these battery sections were huge, so much bigger than anything in the UK. I think that we may have translated some of the graffiti and it was slogans, propaganda and the like. Thanks for watching 👍
Buy some Sage to clear Your energy after going to these old negative war places negative energy can attach to your Aura spirit you can also ground yourself by taking your shoes 👟 off and stepping on grass under foot

@@xplorer9713 your very welcome. And thank you for the light info 😊
No problem at all 😁
Eastern Heights Dover too?
Nicely found system. Do you find anything about the tunnels from this series eerie?

Cheers mate, glad you're enjoying the content and thanks for the support 👍
Well done Lads, felt like I was there! Road of Remembrance next?
Not sure when we'll get there, but we are going at some point, same as the Eastern heights. Thanks for watching 👍

@@xplorer9713 There must be overpressure vents somewhere.
Ross Stenner, thank you for your input. It makes more, interesting background information. Adding to an already fascinating video.
Another cracking video chaps, keep up the great work your doing taking us to places we can't get to. You should defo check out WW2 history hunter channel Ross mentioned.
Ok mate, we will check him out. Glad you enjoyed the video 👍
Wow there massive just imagine how long they took to construct
They took a surprisingly short amount of time to build, although their impressive structure suggests differently. Thanks for watching 👍

They should have been connected?
They look as if they never fired anything in the war such good shape they or still in. Very good video
Thanks for watching mate, I would assume that maybe they themselves were not shelled by allied forces in the war.

Good video and there getting better every vid, a little bit of constructive criticism. Try not to say the word Guys all the time, otherwise well done.
Thanks for watching, we might try to change this in the future! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
