Unbelievable yet not surprising that they’re still here! Built to last. Imagine digging them out and see them whole again! I wish there was a team that would do that and preserve them as best as possible.
Even the North Atlantic Wall can't stop mother nature slowly eating her way into the coast line. Great video HH team, shame we couldn't see inside that generator bunker.
We love the videos and the history of WWII. It is a very unnerving thought that there are still active mines in different locations. Have there been an unfortunate time that someone has walked in the wrong area and set off one of those mines? Good luck and stay safe!
It's sad that they did not make any effort to preserve this history. No matter how distasteful the history is, it should be preserved. Thank you for sharing, and as always, " Good Hunting."
It's just amazing how mother nature is able just take things over like that and thank you history hunter and eagle eyes for doing all the hard work I just can't thank you guys enough for all the time and work put into all these amazing videos/adventures it really gives me something to look forward to every Sunday here in on the east coast of the united state I hope all is well with you and your history hunting family and that the funds are starting to come in for next adventure I really hope that you guys are able to do everything you have planned but most importantly I hope and pray that you and your family are all in good health
Good evening. I don’t know why I seems to have missed seeing your recent uploads but I am glad I (re)discovered this upload. Many years ago I lived in Jersey, Channel Islands for 18/12 (18 months) and that was where I was first introduced to the Atlantic fortress. Not sure where your precise location is on this trip but I have also seen bunkers on the western and northern coasts of Normandie. As always, love all your videos and the research undertaken with every presentation. Lastly, what a lovely bonding exercise/ hobby to share with your son. Enjoy every moment together. Cheers Zoltan
Good video on the Atlantic wall, HH. The tobruks breaking off the Regelbau 671s would be expected since the 671 was not designed with it. Rommel may be to blame for their addition. We need to remember that half of the generals and Hitler were in WWI, and they were thinking like the Seigfried Line. Their concept was conceived before the orders were made and before America got involved with personnel. I agree from our current perspective that it was a colossal waste, but it took funding away from the rocket, heavy water, and jet programs. Okay, both of you did an excellent job in film and research. Stay safe and well.
Another fantastic episode. Thankyou again for all your efforts in showing us the history from those days. I often think that like images of kilometres of Dragons Teeth l have seen, the bunker system, once the allies made a breach it makes most of it useless. From Australia, keep up the good work.
Great video. I believe they built the Atlantic Wall was mostly paranoia especially that far north. There was only a few places where they could be invaded. Just another example of over engineering. Just a thought. Amazing the power of the sea to bring down such enormous structures. Hope all is well, see you in the next adventure. 😊
All those defences did their job as far as the allies were concerned .. tied up men and resources that could have been elsewhere if they had known where the enemy would have come in. Thank you once again for sharing !
It is indeed mind boggling for us, 80 years down the track, that so much time, money, and materials, was expended on building the Atlantic Wall, but during the 1930's, nations thoughout the world had built massive fortifications like this. It was the mindset of a military world still based in WW1. It's sobering, and sad, in a way, to see these concrete dinosaurs slowly disappearing into the sands, probably never to be seen again, considering the part of history they played, but at least, they'll be free of the graffiti vandals... Thank you guys for sharing these amazing structures with us, before they vanish completely! Cheers to you both! Stay Safe, Stay Well!
Time and the elements will manage to make some of these large bunkers disappear under the sands. Thank you and EE for documenting these sites and taking us along!
Yes n the near future actually they will not be here anymore so we are very glad to have shared this with you my friend. Thanks so much and take care out there :)
Hi HH & EE, A lot of bunkers were also washed into the sea on the beaches of Denmark. Money played no role in the construction of the Atlantic Wall, but it was stolen. It was the great fear that the liberation would be launched from the sea.
Wish we could have gotten into the bunkers. It seems the medieval mentality of a system of forts remained in the German military book on defense. Wish more had been maintained to keep history alive. Good work and thanks for the tour.
It is amazing to see nature reclaimimg these positions, almost erasing that period of history. They are fascinating...except for the graffiti idiots debasing them. Excellent explore, HH and EE!❤
I personally feel totally blown away by the fact that the ocean claims so much and how come the Germans did not know ? how strange. Thanks Cynthia and we send our greetings to you :)
Still trying to catch up with videos. Real life has been getting in the way. Great site, totally agree with you about the idiots who do the graffiti on the bunkers. Looking forward to seeing the video where you find all the S-mine fuses. Still remember the video where you found the pristine one in its protective packing paper. That was so exciting. Always great when you bring that one out and show it.
Life has a tendency to do so yes :) We will share soon the magical moment when that happens. Loved this explore and thanks so much for your fantastic support :)
Totally agree with you HH the Atlantic Wall did little to stop the Allies on D-Day,not many of the guns werw fired in anger.The Channel Islands were a heavily fortified part of the Atlantic Wall,gun batteries,bunkers and underground hospitals,the Allies simply bypassed them.Great to see those gun positions with the indentations to diguise them from the air,also the generator bunker looked good. Like yourself i can,t understand the graffiti so called artist,s it,s disrespectful to the people who served and maybe lost their live here.Good heath to you and your brilliant protege HH.👍👍
yes , there were som many locations that never even fired one shot and so clever of the allies to not even go close to the Channel Islands. The graffiti is just the very worst no matter what the people say. Appreciate you my friend and be sage out there :)
Even though many of these locations saw no action during the war, am sure the Allies took a strong look at these locations when planning D day. The Allies tried to find the beaches the Germans would never consider being invaded. Sad to see these monsters of the beaches disappearing. The good thing about them disappearing is that the graffiti will disappear with them. I don’t think the algorithm is directly pointing at your channel but it’s like everything else on TH-cam, if one content does something that is not liked by the TH-cam overlords, then everyone with that content gets punished as well. Never give up and never surrender. I for one will be here for you.
As usual I enjoy each and every video that you and EE do. It's such a shame that nature is taken over every thing,and that people are spay painting them. They should be left as a reminder of what Hitler did.
Hiya HH team 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 Perhaps the Germans had a false sense of security with all that defence? You say think about all that went into building the Atlantic Wall, let us not forget all who died constructing it also, the accidents but also the forced labourers 😢 Keep history alive HH, EE & BB 🤗🫡 See you soon 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 🇬🇧🫶🏻🇳🇴
Thanks!
Thank you my friend , very kind of you. Will come in very handy in future explores. We appreciate that and we send our greetings to you :)
Unbelievable yet not surprising that they’re still here! Built to last. Imagine digging them out and see them whole again! I wish there was a team that would do that and preserve them as best as possible.
May bee 2-300 year from now some will re-discover them in 60 feet of water diving :) Thanks
I love watching Eagle Eyes grow up. NOW he is researching and getting involved with informing us with golden information. Thank you, Eagle Eyes 🦅👀!!!
Appreciate you being here and greetings from us :)
Much love to you WW2HistoryHunter and your family from Finland... Keep bringing the content.
Thank you! Will do!
I'm from India,and love your all videos 🎉
Thank you and we send our greetings to you :)
Even the North Atlantic Wall can't stop mother nature slowly eating her way into the coast line. Great video HH team, shame we couldn't see inside that generator bunker.
So true and we thank you for your great support my friend and more to come soon :)

Every year there is accidents with mines in Europe. Thanks for watching :)
It's sad that they did not make any effort to preserve this history. No matter how distasteful the history is, it should be preserved. Thank you for sharing, and as always, " Good Hunting."
In a way so true and here history is removed slowly by nature and so strange to see. Thanks.
It's just amazing how mother nature is able just take things over like that and thank you history hunter and eagle eyes for doing all the hard work I just can't thank you guys enough for all the time and work put into all these amazing videos/adventures it really gives me something to look forward to every Sunday here in on the east coast of the united state I hope all is well with you and your history hunting family and that the funds are starting to come in for next adventure I really hope that you guys are able to do everything you have planned but most importantly I hope and pray that you and your family are all in good health
Yes nature is so powerful and decides what will happen. Thanks so much for your support and greetings from us :)

Thanks for sharing and for being here with us and greetings from us :)
Excellent explore again HH & EE thanks for sharing , Nature will always reclaim what is hers.
Glad you enjoyed it
Those bunkers are on the way to the sea ,amazing how the earth reclaims. Good job guys!
Yes they are going to be gone in a few years actually. Thanks Dave and more to come :)
Good video on the Atlantic wall, HH. The tobruks breaking off the Regelbau 671s would be expected since the 671 was not designed with it. Rommel may be to blame for their addition.

Okay, both of you did an excellent job in film and research. Stay safe and well.
Yes they did have that in their heads i feel. They wasted so much time and effort on the wall. More to come and thanks my friend :)
Another fantastic episode. Thankyou again for all your efforts in showing us the history from those days. I often think that like images of kilometres of Dragons Teeth l have seen, the bunker system, once the allies made a breach it makes most of it useless.
From Australia, keep up the good work.
The engineering surrounding the construction of the Atlantic Wall is nothing short of astounding! Thank you for sharing:)
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks from us :)

Just a thought. Amazing the power of the sea to bring down such enormous structures. Hope all is well, see you in the next adventure. 😊
Totally so Allen. What a crazy thought they had. Thanks so much and greetings from us :)
Phew, I watched from begging to end without realising at the end that this helped with your algorithm issues. Thanks once more Zoltan
Thanks for watching.
All those defences did their job as far as the allies were concerned .. tied up men and resources that could have been elsewhere if they had known where the enemy would have come in. Thank you once again for sharing !
So true Stephen and so much resources wasted for nothing. Thanks and we appreciate you being here with us :)
Very cool explore. Those bunkers belong in a museum!
Great explore and thanks :)
I really hate the way they graffiti the old sites. I get it, they have a stigma but it's history. The dead on both sides should be respected.
That would be awesome, however; could you imagine how much it would cost to move just one bunker? $$$$$$$
It is indeed mind boggling for us, 80 years down the track, that so much time, money, and materials, was expended on building the Atlantic Wall, but during the 1930's, nations thoughout the world had built massive fortifications like this.

yes just like you remove writing from a paper these are removed from land and history. Appreciated and greetings from us :)
Time and the elements will manage to make some of these large bunkers disappear under the sands. Thank you and EE for documenting these sites and taking us along!
Yes n the near future actually they will not be here anymore so we are very glad to have shared this with you my friend. Thanks so much and take care out there :)

Money played no role in the construction of the Atlantic Wall, but it was stolen.
It was the great fear that the liberation would be launched from the sea.
So true and many more will vanish. Really sad actually. Thanks Oma and greetings from us :)
Thank you for showing what is left of all the things you show.,Its kind of sad that it will one day it & all the rest of ww2 history will be gone.
Appreciated my friend and thanks for being here :)
Man I was hoping to see the inside of those bunkers. What’s sad all the history from WW2 is eventually going to be gone.
Yes they will for sure be gone soon. Appreciate you being here :)
Absolutely awesome this one guys.. can’t believe how much the ocean has eroded those monstrous bunkers….
Appreciated my friend and greetings from us :)
Time has a way of makeing the past disappear . Looking forward to seeing more history. ❤️✌️😎👍
Indeed so Robert and appreciate your great support :)
Wish we could have gotten into the bunkers. It seems the medieval mentality of a system of forts remained in the German military book on defense. Wish more had been maintained to keep history alive. Good work and thanks for the tour.
Totally agree and sad to see these just slowly go away. Thanks Stephanie and more to come :)
How did they not learn from the Maginot line.
So true and i agree how come not. Thanks for being here with us :)
Hi guys yes it is hard to believe that those bunkers are almost swallowed up by the Atlantic then you will have to go diving to see them.
So true and perhaps someone will find them at 60 feet in the future :) Thanks Rodney :)
It is amazing to see nature reclaimimg these positions, almost erasing that period of history. They are fascinating...except for the graffiti idiots debasing them. Excellent explore, HH and EE!❤

Eagle Eye's research really paying off with all these wonderful locations. Too bad all the bunkers are full of sand and falling down to the ocean.
You should check out Batterie Todt
In the future we will share tons more places with all. Thanks :)
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
Great find. I have a few places I want to visit. Soon I hope. Keep it up.
Thanks for watching :)
Love what you’re doing with your son! Where are you two from?
Damn, you showed up 35 years too late. 🙂 Nice find. I agree about the graffiti, there is no place for it here. Be Careful.
We did Larry :) Such a great place to be and see. Thanks so much my friend for being here :)

I agree completely with you about the defacing the Bunker’s with the so called Art! Very tacky and disrespectful!
Thanks my friend :)
More cool info !!!

Yes the allies did check them out before deciding where to strike. Thanks my friend and more to come .)
Where did Hitler get the money from to build the Atlantic wall?
Well in many ways and you can read up on that if you like. Thanks for watching.
He was making money till Stalingrad then money was tight.
He got money the old fashioned way. He stole it.
Built better then Condos in FL they are Junk after 50 years.😝😝😝
Thanks so much Jim and greetings from us :)
Hi
Hello my friend :)
Time heals all wounds
It sure does and thank for being here :)
"A Reich to last 1000 years"
Nature: "Nope"
Thanks for watching .)
One truth remains, nature will heal itself.
Indeed and thanks for watching.
As usual I enjoy each and every video that you and EE do. It's such a shame that nature is taken over every thing,and that people are spay painting them. They should be left as a reminder of what Hitler did.
Appreciated my friend and thanks for being here :)
Would you be interested in seeing American WW2 training bunkers and ruins?
Who knows , perhaps in the future. Thanks
Several near my home @@WW2HistoryHunter
There's something beautiful about nature reclaiming this land and erasing the remnants of disgusting Nazism
Thanks for watching :)

First
Thanks so much for being here :)
@@WW2HistoryHunterno problem
AGAIN THEY WERE OCCUPATION FORCE IN ALL EUROPEAN COUNTRIES, DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM AND US , ENAMY , ALLIED FORCES .😮😊
Thanks for watching.
Hiya HH team 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
Perhaps the Germans had a false sense of security with all that defence?
You say think about all that went into building the Atlantic Wall, let us not forget all who died constructing it also, the accidents but also the forced labourers 😢
Keep history alive HH, EE & BB 🤗🫡
See you soon 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
