    HistoryvHunter. Thank you for preserving history for the future. I once read somewhere that those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Thankfully you and other history buffs are making it available for us, so if things happen again, someone will be able to show where we went wrong. A Canadian history lover.

      What means history in America? Invade in other countries and bomb them or pardon war criminals as your stupid «president» did it?
      In Europe we don't adore Nazi-symbols as in the USA where racists show them in public. What do you think why this symbol on the island was destroyed? Do you have any idea? Maybe because the Nazis brought peace and bread to the people there or because they killed people?

      Alpentarn History is what it is. People are not happy with theirselves are the ones that want to destroy history. I like to embrace it and enjoy the history of both sides. Study history and learn something and hope that we never repeat it . What you hear of a American President his told by a crooked media. President Trump is a great President with a gigantic heart. The United States is not a racist country. It’s the Democratic Party that pushes racism to have something to fight about. Why do so many immigrants want to come to America? The USA is a great country!

      WW2HistoryHunter - I share your passion for WW2. I am SOOOOOO envious of the work you’re doing and the places/sites you get to see. Other people dream of winning the lotto and spending the rest of their lives on a beach or something. Me? Doing EXACTLY what you do. I’d live it 24/7. Like that island. I’d want to spend a month there. Or six months - WHATEVER it took to inspect every square inch of it. Maybe keep a log or a journal. Obviously lots of pictures and videos and possibly a treasure or two. Even read a book about the place I’m at WHILE IM THERE, sitting under an old embankment or something. Do some metal detecting where permissible and respectable. I LOVE everything about the history with WW2. The people, the stories, the politics leading up to and afterwards. I could digest that stuff around the clock and never get bored. But alas, I have a family to support so I must continue to work 55-60hrs a week, haha. Ok, enough blabbing for me. THANK YOU for all you do. I LOVED this video especially. Be safe and continue on my friend.

    A fantastic find and coverage. Some serious road building to carry weight. Who is maintaining the place? Number of small trees removed from road beds not to mention the 24 inch tree cut out of the barrack area. I was thinking the tunnel was put in as a short cut in lieu of running around the perimeter. Noticed in the end shots the island has power on it or did since you can see a pole and cable. The cable you found would be interesting to follow. might need the metal detector to track it if it is under the surface. Well done video again with a serious amount stone work. The memorial is a shame. Just because they lost is no reason to desecrate what they believed in. Has the island been mapped for the ruins, that would be an interesting project. So did you have crab for supper? Stay safe out there.

    That was incredible, it's hard to believe such a beautiful and idyllic place has such a dark history, nature is a great healer. Do you think the barracks in that great cut out were built in what was originally a stone quarry for other stuff and the space was then used as a protected or hidden area for the barracks. One of my favourite episodes. Bet there would be some interesting metal detecting there. Out of interest was this a place of combat with the allies?

    @three-phase562 4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Very intriguing place. Around 20:00 definitely looks like a cable termination to me. Could be 3 phase electricity supply, but what is interesting (to me 😁) is that the centre insulator has a different termination at the top to the two outside ones. You can see the one on the right is broken and is hollow. The conductors inside the cable would be separated in the black moulding below the insulators and a conductor fed up the inside of each of them and then terminated at the top. If you can look at the end of the cable, you might be able to make out the individual cores within it, that might give more of a clue.
    Looks to be a transition from an overhead line to a cable, either due to a building or structure that needed the power, or just part of the transmission line to go from overhead to underground.
    The size can be a little deceptive, as if the cable is being run a long way, it would be increased in size to reduce the losses.

      I worked at a power company doing cable fault location and I see the same as you. A three phase cable with a concentric neutral. From the insulator size would in the US be maybe a 4,000 volt cable. Can't tell if wye wye or delta delta. In the Washington DC area in the 1940s this was a common type of primary distribution wye wye system feeding transformers roughly 2,00 volts phase to ground and 3,420 volts phase to phase. Makes sense to have a central or a couple of generators feeding the various buildings on the island. They needed electricity for radio communication, phone communication for the island, lighting, water system pumps and so on.
      At 22:45 there are pole mounted overhead lines seen but if they are modern or date back to 1940s cannot tell. Video shows a single large line and those 4KV three phase lines were sometimes pole mounted. Open bare wires were cheaper but vulnerable to tree limbs, squirrels and other things fouling them. So sometimes insulated underground type cable was strung overhead which minimized such problems but offered a different set of problems.
      The island is being reclaimed by nature and is quiet lovely. We can only imagine what if looked like before man built so much there. Anyway the mosquitoes seem to appreciate it.

    It would be interesting to see how looked those barracks then...
    Apparently no defensive structures... like cannon emplacements, 'tobruks' etc etc... so... a top secret german military base... ??
    Thank you for sharing !

    Hello History Hunter
    What a amazing Spot
    The pow had to work and build this strucktures and roads
    But the purpus had been something else . So Big powercabels were not necessary for normal guns
    Eventualy they test a electric gun
    The Germans Experimentes with free energy and Tesla maschinery
    Are there any underground installations not the Tunnel but bunkers and such things
    It is interesting to know that
    What a Island
    Thanks for that amazing adventure

  • @arkansasmountainman
    @arkansasmountainman 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You seem to have stumbled on a test or development range for what looks like a high energy weapon. The P.O.W. Camp would be like a shield to keep allies from bombing it and the heavy fortifications would stop any beach landing attempt to free the prisoners. Not being able to shell or bomb without endangering the prisoners, the allies would be at a great disadvantage in a beach assault.
    Whatever was there required a lot of electricity by the size of the insulators in the "3 way" configuration plus the size of the wire. This insulators and the wire are like the ones that hang from the tall towers carrying hundreds of thousands of volts. Anybody an electrician? How many volts would it carry? The machinery to supply the electricity and whatever was in the dugout must have been heavy. I'm sure the entire pit was covered by camouflage.
    Could the other dugout spot you found with the tile floor remains be where the engineers and scientists were housed? That whole thing could have been covered by camouflage too. The road would also allow them to ride comfortably from "home" to the "office" in relative comfort.
    Maybe something went very wrong and the monument you found was in their memory. If something did happen and the development didn't/couldn't continue, they might have abandoned the island early in the war. Or possibly they were unable to get whatever it was to work right. The date, 1940, is right before the USA got involved. They had plenty of prisoners by then.
    In your research, did you find anything about what period the island was occupied? If you go back there, look for any evidence of a good number of generators and a distribution center for the electrical connector near the big dugout place. There would have to be a place where all the generators were placed and the lines were spliced together to increase the voltage then distributed through the 3 legged insulator's wires. I'd love to know what was going on there! Please consider more research and another trip to the island, please, please, please!!!
    Whatever they were working on, I'm thankful they didn't get it operational. That could have changed the outcome of the war.
    I heard that Hitler called off development of jet engines for aircraft because he thought it would never work. If he hadn't, that could have changed the outcome too.
    Remember after the war the German scientists were sent to allied countries. The scientists that the USA got started our rocket program, NASA.

    I believe the special gun had booster charges timed to ignite behind the projectile as it passed down the barrel, giving hyper velocities and longer range. Had the problem that the charges weren't timed well and it kept blowing up the barrel. But it wouldn't have required anything like a large amount of power.
