I remember my grandfather speaking about how beautiful the French and German countryside was. Every time I watch you show, I wander if grandpa was there. When I was a boy, back in 83. I had the privilege of talking to a WWI Veterinarian. I didn't think much of it as a boy, now I appreciate his stories.
I can't believe what excellent condition those structures are. Absolutely gorgeous area and scenery. Thanks so much for taking us there. I have just completed a WW2 History Hunter binge. I may even watch them a third time at some point. :)
This location is absolutely incredible! I am just amazed at all of these structures in such incredible condition. It is such a beautiful location, too. As usual, it really shows off what master engineers that the Germans were, even when the war was taking a toll on them. Thanks so much for sharing this adventure with us all. Please keep the outstanding videos coming and God bless you and your family, my friend!
Those panzer hatches at 11:45 are called Panzerplatte by the Germans and Infanterieschild by the Dutch. At the start of the WW2 the Dutch army had about 40,000 of these infantry shields in storage. Most were taken away for scrap by the Germans after the capitulation. Most probably the infantry shields that were used there come from the Netherlands. GL&HH ━Đanny
about a year ago I found a bunch of them in an old bunker. First I thought it was scrap metal because and wanted to sell it just for the iron value. Then someone told me it where infantrieschilden just in time. So glad I didnt let them get melt down haha
@@WW2HistoryHunter hello Sir. When you watch old original pictures you can see the socked of the 12,8 cm Flak. The dimensions and it have 12 Bolds on the socked. So if you find the socked, watch old pictures and you can find out which weapen are mounted there. On these old pictures is the munition in the munition storages. The deep of this storages is exactly for munition build. It is really intressted, hope i can give some help. Thank you.
Fantastic work WW2HistoryHunter, its really important to document these amazing locations before they crumble away. Your channel has inspired me to document some WW2 sites where I am on Orkney. There is so many WW2 sites here as it was the main-base of the Royal navy.
Nice collection of structures in this one. Interesting to see those panzer plates being utilized. Creepy etching into the concrete too. Well spotted! Keep you your great efforts! Happy trails 👏🏻👌🏻✌🏻
AMAZING video once again! What a great location, everything looks so untouched.. the way i like it!! Really special to walk around there.. even behind the screen, you can feel the History.. So much activity there more than 70 years ago.. and now it's quiet and peaceful.. Awesome, thank you for sharing! Gr Nick
What a cheeky sheep. A beautiful environment to go on an adventure. This gave the residents some advantage of the war by using the wood. After World War II, people felt very safe under the ground. Incomprehensible masonry of bricks. A great location.
Well HH you never cease to amaze me. You have been doing this for years and still find great treasures to share. Thank you for the time and effort you and your family put in.
What an incredible location! It's so important to document these places before they disappear forever. Thank you so very much for your infectious enthusiasm for history!!!
That block of metal looked very precise in construction, id guess part of a gun myself (maybe a breech or part of the gun mounts) as they didn't waste time working to such precise dimensions for communications equipment or building utilities, plus it looked very heavy duty which you wouldn't expect for that type of stuff either.
Truly amazing location, so many things to see, loved the panzer armour plates for snipers, it did remind me of same tecnique used during first world war👍👍
The first searchlight location looked so primitive compared to others. I wonder if the bunker with the bunker oven location and window was a command center? The bunker you saw and said maybe panzer door I was thinking sniper shields from WW1. Am sure they probably utilized WW1 equipment at the beginning of the war. So many features to see.
Great complex. I notice that the wooden barracks was not attached to the top of the foundation like we would do. I really need to send you one of my tunnel robots for running around.
If you get the chance to visit Jersey in the Channel Islands during your lifetime you will be amazed at what fortifications still remain following the Occupation. I was brought up there & I remember the local paper running a story of a family who had a bunker in the garden that they renovated & I think they used it as a kids den or bedroom. Google The Channel Islands Occupation Society for loads of info. Keep up the good work my friend, all the best, Neil.
My grandad said when they went into Berlin (UK Royal Engineers) the German soldiers were so worn out and downtrodden the just gave up. War is very sad indeed if you count the amount of soldiers who died from the cold and hunger in the battle of Stalingrad is staggering.
Was für ein tolles Video! Ich liebe deine Bunkertouren. Sie können wirklich alle Aktivitäten an diesem Ort Invision. Practicing my German. Love your videos
the natural rock formation s the german construction wow very intresting location as you were walking through the area i could see how every thing was in position enjoyed this location video very much it spoke to me thank you my friend
Another awesome video and another awesome location!!! I’ve been watching your videos for a few years now and can never get enough. I would love to come meet you and do a little adventuring with you! I’m in up state New York, USA. We have some pretty awesome Revolutionary war/ Civil war locations here but their all highly commercialized with hundreds of people running around on any given day. Nothing like what you go and explore.
Well you have just proved again how well they hid the bunkers ,and as a lot of people want to know where you find them ,i can understand why you do not want the places named ,keep them as they are ,, bring on episode 2
Awese video again! I recently explored an old communication bunker in my area. It is centrated in a group of supporting bunkers like a fortified garage and ammunation bunkers. It was situated near the still operational airfield. The ammunition bunkers have been in use untill the end of the cold war. Atop of the bunker was still the antenna base visible wich was cut off with cutting torches. I was surprised by seeing a lot of infrastructure.inside the bunker was still present like communication racks and cabling. All rusted and torn down of 70 years neglect buy still present. Hope you will visit my area once. A lot of fortifications and bunkers here. You could ask me where to go if you are wondering. Keep it up ✌✌
Fantastic video my friend (as always). I'm sure part 2 will be even more exciting. You may have to bring something for the sheep next time to get them move along and not hold up the production. Keep safe and please continue educating us on your discoveries regarding WW2 history...
In a way you have to admire the Germans how they used the castings to hide them from every one but , i hope it is kept intact for people like you to educate people that had no idea of the enormity of all this !,,,
I'm just so impressed with usage of concrete and the natural resources in the making of these buildings! Eventhough both sides didn't want a static war, but I thank the Germans were able to keep it very fluid like in being on the offensive and incorporating the bunkers into that. And falling back into the bunkers if need be! I thank the German military being under manned in late 43 used the beautiful made bunkers & out post to replace lack of manpower. ( pls correct me if I'm wrong anyone) and thank you HISTORY HUNTER!!!! From your great work, videos and what you talk about, other videos and documentaries I'm able to see and understand more thanks to you!!! Thanks...
WW2HistoryHunter thank you for all you do!!! A question for you or anyone have you seen a MG 15? I find mixed results for it on Google! It's like the glass hand grenade very little info, thanks.
A littl research will go a long way in finding these locations. Archived photos, aerial surveilance photos. I would love to go on a private hunt with you. My dad still has German artillery shrapnel pulled from my grandfather when he was wounded.
Very interesting video, another older one that I'm just getting caught up on. Thank you for sharing this, but when I clicked the link to watch part 2 it gives me an error stating that the video isn't there anymore. Are you aware that part 2 of the video is gone?

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎
Up and down the East Coast of America, similar locations. Documenting them is a challenge.
How great and thanks for taking interest my friend.

What a cheeky sheep.
A beautiful environment to go on an adventure.
This gave the residents some advantage of the war by using the wood.
After World War II, people felt very safe under the ground.
Incomprehensible masonry of bricks.
A great location.
That was a very cheeky sheep indeed.
Yes Oma , just amazing sights and Place. Underground is kind of safe actually :) Thanks my friend.
Well HH you never cease to amaze me. You have been doing this for years and still find great treasures to share.

Where the Devil is he? looks very like the Outer Hebrides, Vegetation, Rocks, everything, just like the West Coast of Harris.
Thanks for watching.
Truly amazing location, so many things to see, loved the panzer armour plates for snipers, it did remind me of same tecnique used during first world war👍👍
Thanks my friend.
Looks like a hydraulic actuator you found in the grass. Most likely used in the drive mechanism in the guns
I agree.... looks like a valve bank/actuator of some kind
it could be for sure. Thanks
Hi HH, just so so interesting my friend
The marking brings it home
Cheers
in a way it did. Thanks Martin
Awesome video once again can't wait for part 2.
Thank you for watching.
Pot & Beam ceiling! Not seen the Germans use those before. Very crude construction techniques being used at this fantastic site.
Thank you for watching.
The personal carving of 1944 and swastika by an unknown warrior makes it human - he was patriotic. A wonderful video adventure in many ways!
Great place it is James and thanks :)
I love your content. Thank you for doing what you do.
Thanks Michael
Excellent video as always very interesting
Thanks John
Yes great location thank you still catching up
just wonderful to see my friend :)
The first searchlight location looked so primitive compared to others. I wonder if the bunker with the bunker oven location and window was a command center? The bunker you saw and said maybe panzer door I was thinking sniper shields from WW1. Am sure they probably utilized WW1 equipment at the beginning of the war. So many features to see.
It could be that and this place has some very interesting details. Thanks Anthony.
Mr hh absalotly brilliant so clean and untouched I enjoyed this very much

Great complex. I notice that the wooden barracks was not attached to the top of the foundation like we would do. I really need to send you one of my tunnel robots for running around.
a robot could be fun you know William :) Thanks for taking time to watch and comment.

Loved the intro like I was starting to dream
Thank you for watching.
That round area with the drive could be for a mobile cannon
it could be yes. Thanks
Great location
Appreciated Dave
Very interesting indeed
Glad you think so!
Very nice indeed, untouched bunkers. In Holland many of them are buried or partly destroyed by people or Dutch weather
Thank you for watching.
This is an awesome place
Thank you for watching.
Great work Thank you. 😀
All my pleasure
Awesome video as always😏😄
So glad you liked it
Nice location
Thanks James
A littl research will go a long way in finding these locations. Archived photos, aerial surveilance photos. I would love to go on a private hunt with you. My dad still has German artillery shrapnel pulled from my grandfather when he was wounded.
bzilch85 do you know the name of the strait that is near by?
I do not.
Thanks for watching.
I wonder where the doors are they are always gone
Great video
I would love to meet you and shake your hand you are an amazing fellow
Thanks for that Peter.
Fantastic location and explore 😁
Threatening the stubborn sheep with a trip to McDonald's definitely works too get them moving 😂
Indeed and that word is so effective sometimes :) Thanks Casey :)
The goat was sayin "THIS IS MY ROAD, MOVE IT" hehe
It sure did. Thanks
Very amazing video well done and I love listening to your videos as I am blind and I am a white cane long cane user
Thank you for watching.
Amazing site i like the sniperpits
Appreciate you watching.
Amazing location, have you thought about metal detecting inside some of these places with dirt floor?
well , some locations are only visited. Thanks
Thank you for your work. I find ' then and now' comparisons really helpful, so would it be possible to edit in pics of 10.5cm cannons for example?
Thank you for watching.
I'll be a patron supporter let's all send him 3$ a month even
good idea actually , then you would see even more fantastic content. Thanks
Very interesting video, another older one that I'm just getting caught up on. Thank you for sharing this, but when I clicked the link to watch part 2 it gives me an error stating that the video isn't there anymore. Are you aware that part 2 of the video is gone?
Glad you enjoyed it and will look into it my friend. Thanks.
