@@juxtaposeism, exactly! Somewhere between 300-400 forced laborers, POWs from Yugoslavia was used to construct this fort. 65 died in the making. The conditions in their camp, "Austråttleiren" (The Austrått camp) were poor.
@@johnnyguitar6639 Gneisenau and Scharnhorst had them both. Scharnhorst was the first in the class to receive the triple turrets after her came the Gneisenau 2 years after, Großer Kurfürst also got them the Tirpitz was supposed to be getting them but she got sunk before that could happen.
@@RuturiaNationalAnthems Well,all I can find of online sources. Says that those guns in the picture of the Austrått Fort,is from Gneisenau. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austr%C3%A5tt_Fort "The fort's centrepiece is a triple 28 cm SK C/34 (11-inch) gun turret from the German battleship Gneisenau, which was damaged in Kiel. " As far as I know,that was what the subject was about.
Enemy the amount of men lost and machinery taken up going into Russia certainly led to the downfall. Big mistake by hitler,who knows what might of happened had he choose not too
Thailand escapades yes but im saying he would have lost if he HADN'T gone as well. It's a matter of resources and manpower. Germany would have been attacked on all sides, much like ww1. He had to attack USSR at some point though to try and take them out of the war. The earlier the better. He just made huge mistakes in going for Stalingrad instead of the oil reserves.
@@Pop1nsk1 Hitler was just outright stupid, he didnt even listen to his high militaries he just wanted to destroy eveything.. he wasnt interested in creating anything worth for the wealth and growth for Germany or any other country and people still fall for idiots like him - sad
Unbelievable how they built it. Very well preserved.
The quality of the engineering is impressive.
Great Video! Imagine the cost of all that machinery and tunneling, concrete, etc.
Don´t forget all the forced labour involved that killed hundred thousands of lifes... too many idiots in this comment section

@@juxtaposeism worth it
The reason why its in such good conditoin is that the fort was maintained by the Nowegian coastal defence up to 1979
The same cannon as on the kmn Sharnhorst👍🙂
I live in Norway and have been in Austrått my granpa was a Norwegian that helped many people sadly he passed away in 2015😢
Excelente como siempre, buen trabajo!
Pity its not maintained in working order like the Adolf Cannon at Trondenes Fort. Beautiful video and music!! 👍

Unt Kms Sharnhorts

Yes
thank for work !! good !
1:45 that's the turret they were going to use for the land cruiser p1000
The turret is actually the Gneisenau's Caesar turret. The Ratte has double barrels unlike this one.
Come back and save us
Fascinante! AWESOME!
Excellent
Muito obrigado.
負の遺産もちゃんと残すのは凄いな😮
Is posible visit that place ?
Yes, you can.
Muy bueno.
Very modern
If only they won
JoFooka The whole World would-be in Harmony ; and Germany would feel in Ecstacy..!!!!!
Thailand escapades That's a really stupid thing to say. There's no possible way Germany could have held off USSR, USA and UK over the long haul.
