HITLERS LAST 2 SPECIAL TRAIN BUNKERS
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ก.ย. 2024
- During the early month of the second world war Hitler had 4 extremely large train bunkers constructed in 2 areas of Poland. These would hold his special trains and accommodate himself and other dignitaries for meetings and stays there.
The area is surrounded by a perimeter of bunkers and fighting positions and several rows of barbed wires.
Two of these we visited in the previous episode however these are different in several ways, especially as Hitler used these, as did Himmler and Goering.
But there is speculation that there is more hiding here than we can see, and also the security bunkers can be visited all are still intact, so I will take you through both bunkers and the surrounding area.
Also we will go over some of the conflicting details of Mussolini and Hitlers meeting here and their trip to Ukraine from here.

Tino thanks for all the traveling to bring us this this fantastic location. Outstanding conditions of all the bunkers and the massive train bunker. All those steel doors surviving in Poland is a true
miraculous escape of the scrap man. Safe travels from Poland Tino.
Tino, all locomotive sheds for steam locomotives had a hood above the chimney to guide the smoke up. It is missing here in the ceiling. Also soot in the ceiling. We must therefore assume that the locomotive was disconnected before it was driven in. A smaller diesel-powered locomotive of the Deutz type, for example, may have been inside the bunker and was coupled and pulled the waggons into it.
Thank you Tino for driving that extra way to get the railroad tunnels slash bunkers. I've always been a railroad nut and this is very interesting to me thank you so much.
Why, Why, Why did this channel only appear in my recommended two weeks ago?? What you are doing is exactly what I dream of doing!! I'm trying hard to watch all of your previous videos as much as I can....
Keep going with these fantastic videos my friend, I'm totally hooked!!!
Respect from GB.
Thank you brother I really don't know TH-cam have never been very good at promoting my stuff
@@tinostruckmann Well you've certainly earned my subscription from the first video I saw !! 👍👍👍👍
@@joewalker2152 thank you brother that's all I ever asked
Everytime he mentions a steel door, take a drink !
Hey that could turn into a thing LOL
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂steel dooor
Me now to and have a buzz on 🍺 -
I remember being at the Polish bunker a year ago. While having a beer on a local terrace, we got to talk with some locals, of which one was the kid of someone who lived close to the bunker during the war. They never knew what was going on there, but he remembered his father telling him that everyone living around that area knew about high profile visits, because the entire level of security around the sight went into overdrive.
Wow Tino! I did not even know that these train bunkers still existed. I was glued to the screen the whole hour of your showing it. Great stuff. I always enjoy your narration. Thanks Tino.🙂👍
Wow looks like a promising new adventure! Looking forward to Sunday! Good luck with the edits.
Good afternoon Tino
Tino, it has been, for a nice long while, the norm for your presentations to be "OUTSTANDING", and this one is no exception ! It is always a pleasure to sit down with a beverage of choice and spend time with you and your travels. Again thank you !
Thank you:-)
Octagon tiles have 8 sides . Those tiles have 6 sides ... making them a hexagon . I'm not nit picking , just my OCD kicking in . I enjoy your channel immensely . Thank you for all the time you spend to educate us .
I used to hate people nitpicking until I got a little older. I now really appreciate it. None of us will ever learn or change unless we get corrected sometimes! I think we as humans have a knack for getting upset and taking it personal when corrected.
But if the person correcting you is nice about it (like you were!) and we can tone down our anxieties and self image, it's nothing but a good thing. It's weird how you can turn your mind from being offended to instead enjoying where you were wrong before. It makes us all better people!
If only I could have learned this while I was still in school! Ha!
Really enjoyed this one, Love seeing its still intact while retaining the doors, May we never forget history. Keep up the awesome work your doing Tino
I couldn't help but notice that you were amazed that the steel doors were still on place. First.. it's above ground.. so less moisture accumulation. Second..I agree that it is doubtful that the concrete structure was covered with some weatherproof cover however.. I believe this was originally surrounded by woods and likely was camouflage netted significantly. Three. I will also make an assumption that the quality of concrete used for Hitler's train bunker was much better than the shit concrete used for pill boxes and front line defense bunkers. Lastly. It may well be far enough off the beaten trail that vandals and other scavenger bottom feeders have not had a chance to destroy history. Nice video
Thanks Tino for another great video
Thanx from Georgia USA. I grew up studying the civil war forts and battle fields here and became hooked on history. Thanx again for the videos.
Another great documentation of important history! Keep up the excellent work
That tunnel in amazing shape.
Great video!! I never knew such a place ever existed. I doubt it was ever actually Nuclear proof. But then again when this place was built. They had no idea of nuclear pressures.
Utterly amazing! ❤ TY for sharing seeing I'll never get therr to se such fantastic historical remnants.
Tino, very cool - love seeing topics like this that are off the beaten path. Thanks!
4:26 - Nice seat at the top of the bunker!
One of he best personal videos I've seen! Great job,thank you!
very interesting! Do you want to see a huge building in the USA looking like it was designed by Albert Speer in 1939 but in fact it was build in 1907! Its the old abandoned York County prison in Pennsylvania. This has the perfect outer shape like Speers Germania and Nuremberg buildings, maybe it inspired him??
Loved this, another great video. Thanks Tino.
Thank you very much for your thorough and well documented video. As a Dutchy though I really must bring one thing to your attention: In one of the last Bunkers you seem to recall seeing this kind of Bunker before: In Belgium or Holland. About that name Holland; when you refer to country of The Netherlands--> it is like referring to the country of the USA by calling this country Carolina.
First of all Carolina is just a part of the USA, right? And second of all there are 2 Carolina's; North and South. Well, first of all; the country you are referring to in this video is called: The Netherlands and second of all there are 2 Holland Provinces; North and South. And in our case we have 12 Provinces in the Netherlands of which only 2 are called Holland and they are located at the west coast of The Netherlands. So millions of people in the Netherlands are not from Holland, and so do not want to be called Hollander, since they're not. If you are for example form Texas, you do not want to be called Carolinian, right...? I am just saying ;-) So please from now on refer to our country as The Netherlands, thank you very much!
Cool never knew about these .
Awesome job mate good to see some modern documentation on these so they not lost forever.
7:39 did you see that spider, a super sized bunker spider - again 25:31
Cheers from Virginia. I would love to travel one day and these historical places would be very interesting to visit. One day in my lifetime for sure! Thank you for your content!
Wow absolutely riveted to the screen,what an enthralling episode. Intriguing that the tunnels were nuclear blast proof when supposedly no nuclear bomb had been developed. Also Hitler being vegetarian i wonder if Mussolini introduced him to real Italian Pasts as they dined in the trains buffet car!!👍👍
Excellent presentation. Liked, but already long ago subscribed, and rang that bell.
Thank you sometimes we just have to go through things and see:-)
Loved this episode!!! And loved the Darth Vader voice soud in the narrow tunnels :-D
Thanks Tino and I am sure glad to see a lot of original stuff
Bunkers appear to be in amazing condition. Did Russia or Poland ever use the sites during Cold War?
I guess so. It would explain why there is still a lot of metal, which in the years after the war was quite precious. I imagine that during the cold war railroads (espacially locomotives) needed shelter in case of a (nuclear) war. So the bunker would have been of great use.
Great vídeo 👏🏻 Congrats from Belo Horizonte Brasil 🇧🇷 👍🏻
EXCELLENT FIELD HISTORICAL video. Thanks Tino. Greetings from Mexico City.
Thank you. Another fantastic video.
Great work!!!
Tino, got beer money for the show, I sold the great grandkids Halloween candy, I'm ready.
Thats the way to go Ed capitalism all the way LOL
😂
Excellent!! Wish I had tagged along with you.
@ 46:12 minutes and seconds that picture of Hitler sitting at a picnic table next to all these powerful people of the day. He looks rather bad postured and a little uncomfortable. Assuming this meeting took place after the assination attempt @ the Wolf's layer??? So is this some PTSD of the latest bomb attempt? Or possibly pain from his splinterly blast wounds? Or just being his old miserable self with horrible table manners and a bad posture? 😅😂 Very Interesting tour of the train station and bunker systems involved with all this Tino! Awesome stuff man. Safe travels out there brother please, and God bless you Sir. We all thank you for your amazing research and actual boots on the ground motivation for finding these answers to so many open ended questions about the inner workings of Germany before, during and right after the second World War. 😊
Got a bad kebab on the train
Great video.
But for some reason I can't post on the live chat .
To be preserved that well had to mean it was used post war.
What was amazing to me after all Those train tunnels,almost No Graffitti ! Poles are taking good care of this History!
The tar between the main shelter and the square addition was probably to seal the join. I've no doubt the structure was used post war.
Tino. When I look at the map of the train bunker (2:12), the bunker has a break in the middle. It is very strange. Moving the track a few meters to the side so that the bunker is straight has not been done. Is the bunker built in two parts, where the innermost part was built later. Was a stage built on top to be able to excavate under covertly, as they did with the bunker under the Reich Chancellery in Berlin? Or was there no room to move the bunker away from the road and the creek sideways because they have a secret bunker there?
I'm surprised the tracks were removed in the first bunker shown. Would be nice to see them stay to add to the history of the bunker.
Another good one Tino !! 🙂
Did they keep the Locomotives inside the bunker? They were coal burners so they would have needed extensive ventilation if they did. There would have been ramp down and ramp up to depart. Especially if the Locomotives were kept at near ready to leave at a few moments notice. Thank You!
@7:39 Spider? 🕷🕷🕷
It is mind boggling as to where the Germans got all the materials to build everything they did during the war. Thanks for the tour!
I was there a few years ago and there was no water in the tunnel, so we went through it under the river and reached the door of the power plant. Unfortunately, I don't know where I have the photos, but I will find them.
Well done young man I still believe they should look for the Gould train Joe Hall down there on the railroad tracks and walk the railroad tracks I believe you do that you’ll find the Gould train at the end of the place where it went to good job my friend God bless you
I hate getting the feeling that I’m the first person to be in a spot like this in a long time then i see a fresh beer can and it ruins the feeling 😂, great video mate thank you for posting
No grafitty, no tyres, all the doors in place and it's all very clean. Looks like paredise to me :)
amazing video but here's the problem the power stations are gigantic for those tunnels either they were manufacturing something after the the meeting with Hitler and Mussolini and building Rockets or manufacturing different parts maybe even tanks but I did talk to a man about 30 years ago when I was 18 years old who is a prisoner by the Germans and he was polish and he was building tunnels and then got to work in those tunnels I wonder if it's those interesting
I wonder if it could have been used to experiment with certain propellants to be used in rockets and missiles, some kind of testing site that they would propell rockets on a rail system and it was covered for secrecy ?????............. Erik
@25:15 notice the new padlock on the top lever of the door its been drilled and put in place ,someone has been in their wonder where it leads 2
I think the video is great, thank you very much! The square doors are not really "German", even today there are pressure-proof doors in our barracks etc. with rounded corners. Probably because of the seal or sealing...
Great tour
That big spider on the wall reminds me of Australia 😉🙃
All this was preserved because for a long time after the war the money of the state bank was kept there and later it was a state-owned enterprise producing mushrooms (Champignon)
Awesome video--great work!
I wonder if the gold train is underneath. Need to have it sonars or checked out. Thanks tino, gives me the chills.
Tino: Sweet how you try to discover and explain certain things. Keep up the good work, my man! Approx 36 min in your video docu you enter a hospital bunker, similair to those we have here. Indeed no defense cause within Vienna convention not necessairy. Germans knew that. Personel bunkers, yes, hospital no... Again thank you for sharing, saves me a trip, lol
Very interesting !
Germans were simply mad to invest resources and planning on such wasted monstrosities.
Infakt my fellow Germans never changed,like green energy,EU-extensions ,natowars and so on....
I sometimes think that if the German's were not so busy building retreats and bunkers for Hitler and where he might go they would have had more resources to fight the war. Thank you Tino for sharing.
Germany was TOTALLY dependant on its trains for logistic because it could never secure enough oil and steel for trucks to move material longer distances from rail lines. this is why the majority of battles in the ost front were fought around the rail heads and it also made armoured trains a vital asset for protecting rail lines from saboteurs. and later Flak trains became vital to protect rail lines from air attacks on both sides. UNFORTUNATELY for the Whermacht unlike Poland and the Soviet Union they never really took armoured trains and other rail AFVs seriously and it wasn't until partisans became a serious problem in 42 that they realized how important PanzerZugs actually were to protect the rail roads and by then most of the armoured trains they had were a agglomeration of obsolete prewar and mismatched captured material. that was when the PanzerZug 42 and 44 series were ordered for standardized mass production but they never had enough of them to control the countless km of rail line threatened by partisans. ON TOP OF THAT the way German armoured trains where setup in general was MUCH longer and thus more unwieldy then other nations who at most had a locomotive and 4 cars. German PanzerZugs by contrast tended to GET LONGER AND LONGER
What the hell, I didn't think Europe had spiders that big!
Thanks! Tino your the Indiana Jones of Battlefield history.
Thank you so much for helping out I am considering if it's time to get a hat I just can't find one that everybody else haven't already worn:-)
I think there are tunnels under ground connectinting the buildings. And the gun rmplacements...
Are there any doors?
The one with no defensive windows is probably the ammo bunker
Is it for sale?
Nope
The steel doors, etc. being intact can only mean that the entire complex was under heavily armed guard for a very long time. Also, the A-rating is perplexing only as to the aboveground tunnel(s). Nearby is the V2 test site, which might have been connected via underground tunnels -- or not. In any case, preparations were possibly being made for ICBM tech. This may mean that there was an underground facility here, in 1941 at the latest, for production of nuclear warheads!! Good reason to scuttle the ship, to mix a metaphor.
Question: were Fermi, or Heisenberg, ever visitors there?
Thanks!
Thank you it is very much appreciated see you in the chat next week
Were cinder blocks common in European construction before and during WW II? That building @30:20 is most definitely cinder block and not CMU block, the deterioration of the block face due to weather is a classic failure for cinder block. I know cinder block was in common use in the US as early as 1910, but I've never noticed its use in European construction from photos and film of WW II. My guess is it's from the early 1960's.
Jest to schron kolejowy dla pociągu sztabowego w Stępienie Cieszynie najdłuższy na świecie.Ja w tamtym roku byłem w Konewce i Jeleniu tam są dwa ale krodsze.Maja po 380 metrów .Na drugi rok wybieram się do Stepina Cieszyna odwiedzić te schrony.Polecam.
The tar you talked about was put there to seal a cold joint.
Size of spiderman on that wall 😮😅😅😅😅
The hexagon tiles could have been brought as a ready made solution from a factory, or possibly from a polish sidewalk. The othes reason is to conserve cement and steel and ease construction. Using pavers doesn't need rebar or skilled labor force.
the outside foundations..... i didn't see anything resembling a coal bunker? there should have been a sizeable area to store coal the keep the engine fired and ready to move at a moments notice. wouldn't you think? If oil fired there would have to be protected tanks..?
train car(s) in tow man ... use your noodle 😂
@@DonAltopio so...they just leave the engines sitting outside the bunker. And only let the cars be inside? Protected from bombing?
How thick do you think the walls are?
2 and 3 m depending on roof or wall
I believe they can be measured in feet or meters.
Maybe it was curved due issues with ground conditions?
Its not quicker to get to the entrance in a curved line than a straight one but otherwise time well spent.
Another great one Tino , cant believe all those Doors are still there ..looks like they must have been pretty awkward to even get into place..
What is it with the germans and caves and tunnels .
The French do it to.
I took a drink every time someone said "technical" and now I can't walk.
At 46:28 you can see a panzerwagen with the name Maastricht painted on it , l live in Heerlen that's about 22km from Maastricht what's my province capital
Cool to see the name in this video as someone living near Maastricht.
Perhaps it's one from a Dutch division who served in Poland too
me as Polish i always wonder, Why Hitler build so many structures for himself in Poland but not in Germany, Austria, France etc? What did he see in Polish Land and he spend so much time on it?
Could be the one bunker could be storage only so no defense ports?
true, ammo storage .. perhaps food
7;12 UPPER RIGHT HUGE SPIDER?
What's with the huge black spider?
It's a bit of a story but one of our old moderators Crystal who is no longer with us had a thing for spiders she passed away and now whenever I see spiders it has to be mentioned we even have a t-shirt in the shop in her honor
I am sure Hitler regretted invading Russia and breaking the non-aggression pact, he could have easily and more wisely focused his attention towards other closer Countries, that mistake sure came back to ruin his momentum and progress!
58:26 just now noticed a chair on the train bunker 😏✌
@ 7:16 a spider on the wall???
Tarantula 😈 😱
Thanks :)
Would be good if there was a diagram of what it looked like fully operational.
So grateful Hitler created a culture of fear and paranoia among Scientists and Engineers. Imagine the outcome of the war if they collaborated on weapons and strategies. Great video!
