There is no way there is a bunker here. Why would there be a bunker here? Low ground, high ground over there. Plane comes over, sees it easily. Oh, there is a bunker here. Fucking wank.
Ian Towers Correction, he’s not an American, he is a Small American. It’s called having a chip on your shoulder. He has an inferiority issue so tries to compensate.
Watched this while visiting my mum on the outskirts of Saldus. That tall structure in some of the shots looks a bit like the Broceni Cement factory. That field might not be too far off where I grew up. This place is littered with WW2 stuff even to this day. We had a stroll in a local forest with the kids yesterday and the eldest asked about a round shaped crater like hole near the path (about 4m diameter). "What's that hole in the ground, dad?" Me: "Not sure, we used to call them just 'bomb holes' or 'bunkers', loads of them there." Then my mum added: "They're actually both". My grandparents were small kids during WW2 but their memories are still surprisingly vivid about that time - they've told countless stories about their experiences in this area during those times. And given what they've recounted you'd actually be more surprised by not finding any military items digging up a random Kourland farm field than by finding a bunker in a sub-optimal position.
My great grandfather was part of the wehrmarcht on the eastern front, unfortunetly when I got into ww2 (around the 3rd grade for me) he was barely able to talk he only said a couple sentences in german here and there, and was barely able to hear, I did hear stories like how him and his friend that were hiding in a barn, his friend lit a cigar, some Russians walked in saw the smoke and shot at them, some how he survived, apparently he also was shot 9 times and stabbed 5 times, I was also told by my mom he had maps from when he fought and he would show her where he was. I dont know where the maps are I only got his compass. But unfortunetly as of last year he has reunited with his wehrmarcht friends once again.
TEUTONIC_KNIGHT GUY my grandma was a WW2 survivor she tell me story’s of the us solidrs and how the passed through her town in north Italy the where giving them candy and school supplies that’s all she told me I’ll ask more when I can I send my love for ur grandpa pls respond

Exactly my thoughts. The other 3 are going to frag this dude by the 4th episode. Wait -- it was probably canceled before the 4th episode was ever filmed.
I was wondering the same thing. You can be a military officer in charge of almost anything - including logistics, the typing pool, warehouse etc. The way he carries on you would think he was 500 years old and knows everything - except he's wrong on multiple occasions. Was he a naval military officer? Air force? Marines? Army? Is he an expert on all of these ?
My family was Military. We were stationed near where several blown bunkers were located. I used to climb through the wreckage. The items I found I photographed and left them where they were. I loved being raised overseas and had a great respect for the history surrounding me.
I also from latvia and i live near city in Saldus and even i can find some relics in my backyard 😀👌 and i hope you guys come to latvia again to dig some bunkers 😀
You can look up the 218th Infantry Division. The 218th Artillery Regiment is part of it. They did actually surrender. Apparently near the Latvian town of Tukums end of 1944, early 1945.
Thats because when he said thats the worst place for a bunker, he didnt know what kind of bunker it was. When he found out it was an artillery bunker, thats when he changed his mind. He thought it was just a shooting bunker at first.

My father having been a solidier, I grew up in Germany. I was first there at age 3, in 1949. We lived in Heuchelheim, across the Lahn River from Giessen. Giessen had been levelled, and there was stuff all over the place. You just had to be careful because much of it was still live. Left Germany with a lot of toys. Second tour was in Bad Hersfeld, near the border with East Germany. Found even more stuff, ie bayonets, and pieces of uniforms and unexploded ordnance. It was fairly common to have parts of WWII uniforms, patches, and so on. I even had a Nazi Eagle patch made of gold and silver thread. Final tour was in the Frankfurt area. Didn't find much, although there were still bombed out buildings in Frankfurt. Returned to the US for the final time, after graduating from Frankfurt American High School. About 20 or so years later, learned that as we all walked from one set of buildings to the other, we were walking over a 1000 pound unexploded aerial bomb that had been dropped by the Brits during the war. Felt really eerie.

Nicely put together, more documentary-like which I haven't seen with these types of videos before. Well done, and kudos for showing respect to the fallen.
Wow Kris, this just came up on my timeline. Had no idea you were part of this….absolutely incredible my friend & a brilliantly fascinating watch. I look forward to watching more. All the best mate, Marcus
Who else got Recommended a year later LOL Edit: 1.2k You lot are crazyyy. Keep the recommendation coming in a few more years later youtube. 2 years ago for now.
If you look at this video as a Comedy episode then it becomes the funniest thing you’ll watch. That military guy is definitely Michael Scott. There’s no way this wasn’t scripted. The scene with the hand grenade is anazingly funny, when they point at the car and say “you know who they are?” Amazing!
Watching shit like this makes me want to do it so badly. WW2 is my favorite part of history, all of the technological advances and how people lived is amazing.
And please make sure your fellow presenters are a little better trained when handling firearms. You displayed an extremely dangerous clip at around 10:50
Wish I could see more of these excavations in my home country the Whipped Cream Front but the Germans didn’t fortify Denmark as much as they did the border states during World War II- so most of the history is above ground here! Fantastic video and the wristwatch was in unbelievably good condition! I have a feeling I’ll be coming back to this channel often!
I mean not really. The stripper clips and kar98 bayonet matched up. Although it seemed weird that a artillery soldier would even carry a kar98 I would probably say they’d carry a mp40 but it made sense.
i was thinking that that guy was acting funny so i went to the comments to see what other people think. Yea he seems like that guy that would be like "oh youre hurt? *(smile)* it will be ok"
The Second Front was a hell I would wish in no one. The pictures and videos that there are give you the picture of what it was like. It was WW1 but with modern equipments and tanks. Miles and miles of trenches and bunkers that were batter day and night by gun, mortar, and artillery. Flamethrowers, CAS Bombers, Strat Bombers and machine gun. Now couple that with just how flat that terrain is, where you can see you enemy lined up for miles, Cou-led with the fear that forwards means death and backwards mean desertion and death. You had no where to go, risk getting caught and jailed. It was just brutal, warfare as warfare is.
Totally agree. When we were out there filming, we filmed a scene explaining that a particular trench, which was important for both the Germans and Russians - changed hands three times in one day. That may not seem much, but the violence in that situation would have been ridiculous. When the team we worked with excavated it, it was full of hand made knuckle dusters. So it was mostly hand to hand. Some of the stories out there were horrible. There was a forest in Latvia, which still had human teeth strewn on the surface. Literally bodies still everywhere out there. You are spot on. It was brutal.
Not sure how well it's known outside of the local area but that particular time and place was referred to as the Kourland Kettle/Pot (Kurzemes Katls in Latvian), for a very good reason.
What's he on about at 19:53 "it looks to me like the top of the fuse and the spoon have come off". It's what's left of an M24 Stielhandgranate or what's commonly known as a stick grenade. There is no "spoon" on an M24. It's armed by unscrewing a metal cap at the end of the wooden handle which allows a porcelain ball on a string to drop down. Pull the ball/the string and that arms it with around a 4 1/2 second fuse. It's a friction igniter unlike the US Pineapple and British Mills36 (which worked on a percussion cap basis) and as the handle and igniter are missing that's got no chance of going off. You would think that they'd at least know a bit about WW2 weaponry if they're digging out a WW2 bunker. Especially explosives!
Ohh this is so exciting! Great show thank you. This weekend here in Western Australia, we are detecting an old POW camp site that held Germans and Italians. I hope we find something good!
My husband and I are Australians who have had relations die in WW1 and WW2 but now have a daughter who married a German how we love. May all the service military people rest in peace.
19:53 German “stick” grenades did not have spoons like the US M2 or British Mills Bomb, they had a pull chord running down the shaft of the grenade with a wooden ball at the bottom to grab onto. They also used a type of TNT which would have been degraded so badly that it would have been inert. Because unlike US and British grenades which had thick hulls that killed by fragmentation the most common German grenades, the stick grenade, was a concussion grenade, hence scene from Saving Private Ryan where the Paratrooper lost his hearing after a German grenade went off next to his head.
Really, standing NEXT and NOT behind the shoshot other totally reckless. Not only that empty or not FINGER STILL IN THE TRIGGER GUARD...EVEN MORE RECKLESS...GREAT VIDEO...GREAT seeing Kris on the big screen....
I don't think the Germans in the bunker were caught unawares or attacked; it was probably the end of the war, and they threw their ammo etc., in there and surrendered.
Wow, my favourite things all rolled into one... firstly a cracking detector isn’t who’s bloody brilliant with a greet channel. Then a ww2 themed video. Digging up a German bunker... this is amazing... never even knew about this mate. Such a privilege I bet to do something like this... amazing! 👍
All that crap and crazy comments around this! iv found it very educational and a good watch at no point has it shown that you guys have intently done anything wrong! you are all passionate and enjoying the dig
I called it, as soon as I saw that bunker under the ground, and he talked about hills all around it, I was like it'd be perfect for an artillery emplacement, the hills are protecting it all around, and theres just an open field right there for artilleries to blast it
Man I would give everything I love the most to go out there with those guys!! I’ve ALWAYS been fascinated with all of this!! That’s so awesome keep up the great work fam! You guys are legends!! 🤙💯
I was so happy to see u men fill the bunker back in to prevent the so called ‘black diggers’ from gaining access to the bunker. Even though the artifacts were collected for histories sake, I still get a pit in my stomach thinking about those so-and-so’s even touching the dirt in that bunker. I grew up in a military family with a grandfather who flew in the RAF (my mother’s dad) and a father who flew in the Army Air Corp B-17’s over Germany 1943 - 1945. My father was a Syrian immigrant who flew for the US and met my British mom while serving in England. When the time came I myself served in three conflicts, one with my brother, Vietnam, one with my wife, first Gulf War and, the last conflict with my wife and son in the Middle East, Afghanistan and Iraq. I can tell u that things sure did change between my first conflict and my last. But the real big changes were realized when I would sit and talk to my dad and grandad about WWII…wow things were so different. Well getting off track a bit so I just wanted to thank all of u for the work u do and continue to do. God speed and good luck to all of u. I enjoyed this so much I had to subscribe so I’ll see u all later.

Or a minelab xterra 705. Is good for beginners lol. I seen 3 of 4 of you guys from youtube and tv. Brilliant vid.
How tf do you only have 115 subs? I thought you had 115k
Nicely put together, more documentary-like which I haven't seen with these types of videos before. Well done, and kudos for showing respect to the fallen.
Red shirt guy: he has to upstage me...he only found it because he has more energy...lol.
I hate that guy.
Wow Kris, this just came up on my timeline. Had no idea you were part of this….absolutely incredible my friend & a brilliantly fascinating watch. I look forward to watching more. All the best mate, Marcus
Who else got Recommended a year later LOL
Edit: 1.2k You lot are crazyyy. Keep the recommendation coming in a few more years later youtube. 2
years ago for now.
Like 1 year and 1 day later
Yeah bro

Lol true
“Steps into a trip mine” guy in red “👀” 😂
WTF THATS CRAIG FROM PAWN STARS HAHA I DIDNT KNOW HE IS
IM JUS SO AMAZED
Thanks Cata, I was trying to remember where I had seen him before!
C4rrot P4rrot so Fukin true he’s such a Fukin wack job
I’m saying!!! I knew he was familiar
@CemtecUk what do you mean ?
why do people here hate him
Cata omg i noticed too
If you look at this video as a Comedy episode then it becomes the funniest thing you’ll watch. That military guy is definitely Michael Scott. There’s no way this wasn’t scripted. The scene with the hand grenade is anazingly funny, when they point at the car and say “you know who they are?” Amazing!
11:15
everyone: smiling laughing
Craig: looks like he is about to cry.
Imagine if the watch was still ticking
That would be scary af because after 70 jears 😰
Oh Shit That's............
t84t748748t6 stuff*
I WOULD OF SHOT IT.
IMAGINE SOMETHING WORKING EVER SINCE WW2 AND UNDERGROUND FOR YEARS.
The Small Moss he said imagine dumbass
Watching shit like this makes me want to do it so badly. WW2 is my favorite part of history, all of the technological advances and how people lived is amazing.
@Lauren Atwood damn bro chill out a bit, mate.
@Lauren Atwood what are u yelling at?
WWI is better
Get out metal detecting its worth it
@@bogeeb2567 both are good
This is so cool I love watching things like this
like uncovering old history items. Great job.
The red guy got the smarts and would be likable but he needs to stop acting like it’s a competition and making all about himself.
account meme he’s the host dude
Nathan O'Shea ok nobody likes him tho hes annoying
Nathan O'Shea Lol, he’s not the host.
We were all equal presenters...
Addictedtobleeps In that case, present each other equally then!
And please make sure your fellow presenters are a little better trained when handling firearms. You displayed an extremely dangerous clip at around 10:50
27:20- the watch didn't necessarily stop when the person dropped it. Red shirt guy makes no sense
He's a "military tactician" who is blown away by the concept of turning round.
Bloke would look at a potato and be "I have confuse."
When he was talking in the thing his eyes were so big dude
Craig Gottlieb = “Red Shirt”
That MP40 was not good during cold weather. Tons of jamming on the eastern front
Wish I could see more of these excavations in my home country the Whipped Cream Front but the Germans didn’t fortify Denmark as much as they did the border states during World War II- so most of the history is above ground here! Fantastic video and the wristwatch was in unbelievably good condition! I have a feeling I’ll be coming back to this channel often!
The one American guy sounds like the kid who says “actually, that memes from reddit” in school
This was in my recommend for some reason and I like WW2 stuff and now I’m hooked
Keep up the great work dude
The military expert was wrong just about every time
How come
I mean not really. The stripper clips and kar98 bayonet matched up. Although it seemed weird that a artillery soldier would even carry a kar98 I would probably say they’d carry a mp40 but it made sense.

Awesome find guys. Fit for a museum and Not people who don't care. Congratulations.

Yea
So guys what this

Shut up
19:45 I like how he just casually told his friends that they could die at any moment
The time lapse is 1945 coincidentally
guy in red definitely on coke. Doesn't even blink, just looks wired af
Ganesh God I saw him blink, some ppl don’t need to blink often
ttv_protroydeve08 some people do coke 😂
I agree with him 👆
@Lukas Gröndahl No fucking way xD
@@ganeshgod1091 Yeah I saw him in the thumbnail and it took me a minute but he is one of the weapons experts from the show pawn stars.
that red shirt guy is SOOOO annoying, especially mocking that guys accent
It's a joke
It's fascinating
Lol I’m surprised the Dudes from the UK didn’t mock his American accent, he is way too annoying for my liking.
i was thinking that that guy was acting funny so i went to the comments to see what other people think. Yea he seems like that guy that would be like "oh youre hurt? *(smile)* it will be ok"
So called "expert" from pawn stars
I love guys like this who do things for future generations, top marks from me 😊
Back in 1923 there was a barn on are land and I went meddle detecting and found Gernades,a badge,and some bullets,also a gun
Craig: When I'm in the woods I see plains of fire.
Me: Doesn't that sound a little wrong?
Look at the view… Craig” imagine how amny people died there”.
The Second Front was a hell I would wish in no one. The pictures and videos that there are give you the picture of what it was like. It was WW1 but with modern equipments and tanks. Miles and miles of trenches and bunkers that were batter day and night by gun, mortar, and artillery. Flamethrowers, CAS Bombers, Strat Bombers and machine gun. Now couple that with just how flat that terrain is, where you can see you enemy lined up for miles, Cou-led with the fear that forwards means death and backwards mean desertion and death. You had no where to go, risk getting caught and jailed. It was just brutal, warfare as warfare is.
Totally agree. When we were out there filming, we filmed a scene explaining that a particular trench, which was important for both the Germans and Russians - changed hands three times in one day.
That may not seem much, but the violence in that situation would have been ridiculous. When the team we worked with excavated it, it was full of hand made knuckle dusters. So it was mostly hand to hand.
Some of the stories out there were horrible. There was a forest in Latvia, which still had human teeth strewn on the surface. Literally bodies still everywhere out there.
You are spot on. It was brutal.
@@Addictedtobleeps that sounds like Verdun, but was probably 10x worse with all the modern equipment.
Not sure how well it's known outside of the local area but that particular time and place was referred to as the Kourland Kettle/Pot (Kurzemes Katls in Latvian), for a very good reason.
Imagine hitting that with a pressure washer and a pump
Believe it or not, theirs a subreddit for that, r/pressurewashingporn

It's absolutely amazing after 70+ years these objects are still here. Just waiting in the mud. I have a stahlhelm from ww2 myself.
French veteran: hears MP40 over the valley:,”Oh not again” ‘grabs white flag’
Germans "Their white flags are no match for our MP40's!"
*Sadly leaves baguette behind*
Ha ha ha ha 😂
@NATHAN PIAZZA stfu

What's he on about at 19:53 "it looks to me like the top of the fuse and the spoon have come off". It's what's left of an M24 Stielhandgranate or what's commonly known as a stick grenade. There is no "spoon" on an M24. It's armed by unscrewing a metal cap at the end of the wooden handle which allows a porcelain ball on a string to drop down. Pull the ball/the string and that arms it with around a 4 1/2 second fuse. It's a friction igniter unlike the US Pineapple and British Mills36 (which worked on a percussion cap basis) and as the handle and igniter are missing that's got no chance of going off. You would think that they'd at least know a bit about WW2 weaponry if they're digging out a WW2 bunker. Especially explosives!
Anything that's even remotely explosive has to be treated as dangerous you tool
Ohh this is so exciting! Great show thank you. This weekend here in Western Australia, we are detecting an old POW camp site that held Germans and Italians. I hope we find something good!
I would join these guys in a heartbeat
guy in red what do you see over there? High ground.
in the distance: "Hello there."
You are a bold one

@@treefatyy7300 already said it
I collect K98 Bayonets and to see that condition of that blade come it like that is remarkable indeed. The scarab protected it very well.

Just finished watching the whole series this afternoon on Netflix...really enjoyed it.
My husband and I are Australians who have had relations die in WW1 and WW2 but now have a daughter who married a German how we love. May all the service military people rest in peace.
19:53 German “stick” grenades did not have spoons like the US M2 or British Mills Bomb, they had a pull chord running down the shaft of the grenade with a wooden ball at the bottom to grab onto. They also used a type of TNT which would have been degraded so badly that it would have been inert. Because unlike US and British grenades which had thick hulls that killed by fragmentation the most common German grenades, the stick grenade, was a concussion grenade, hence scene from Saving Private Ryan where the Paratrooper lost his hearing after a German grenade went off next to his head.
Really, standing NEXT and NOT behind the shoshot other totally reckless. Not only that empty or not FINGER STILL IN THE TRIGGER GUARD...EVEN MORE RECKLESS...GREAT VIDEO...GREAT seeing Kris on the big screen....

damn i love these guys
PRotzenkoBlyad it is not ww2 the Jeep isnt
I don't think the Germans in the bunker were caught unawares or attacked; it was probably the end of the war, and they threw their ammo etc., in there and surrendered.
Sure they would probably save the ammo for any other gun fight they wouldn't just leave them there because that Is what I call a wast my friend
Time capsule, really impressive, good work lads, a great viewing
Wow, my favourite things all rolled into one... firstly a cracking detector isn’t who’s bloody brilliant with a greet channel. Then a ww2 themed video. Digging up a German bunker... this is amazing... never even knew about this mate. Such a privilege I bet to do something like this... amazing! 👍
I bet that was amazing to witness. The first people to see those relics since 1945.
All that crap and crazy comments around this! iv found it very educational and a good watch at no point has it shown that you guys have intently done anything wrong!
you are all passionate and enjoying the dig
Would really like to see more of these diging up bunkers if possible

PHILIP TAN shut up
Animal jam poptart hahaha you are so right.
I called it, as soon as I saw that bunker under the ground, and he talked about hills all around it, I was like it'd be perfect for an artillery emplacement, the hills are protecting it all around, and theres just an open field right there for artilleries to blast it
Man I would give everything I love the most to go out there with those guys!! I’ve ALWAYS been fascinated with all of this!! That’s so awesome keep up the great work fam! You guys are legends!! 🤙💯
Kev Martin I’m sure you can replace the red guy
I was so happy to see u men fill the bunker back in to prevent the so called ‘black diggers’ from gaining access to the bunker. Even though the artifacts were collected for histories sake, I still get a pit in my stomach thinking about those so-and-so’s even touching the dirt in that bunker. I grew up in a military family with a grandfather who flew in the RAF (my mother’s dad) and a father who flew in the Army Air Corp B-17’s over Germany 1943 - 1945. My father was a Syrian immigrant who flew for the US and met my British mom while serving in England. When the time came I myself served in three conflicts, one with my brother, Vietnam, one with my wife, first Gulf War and, the last conflict with my wife and son in the Middle East, Afghanistan and Iraq. I can tell u that things sure did change between my first conflict and my last. But the real big changes were realized when I would sit and talk to my dad and grandad about WWII…wow things were so different.
Well getting off track a bit so I just wanted to thank all of u for the work u do and continue to do. God speed and good luck to all of u. I enjoyed this so much I had to subscribe so I’ll see u all later.
