Thank you very much for this informative vlog. My late father was a ranking Major in the British Army (REME) and got to see this location with my mother. I can't go because I am too sick so 'visited' through you. God bless you, sir and I look forward to seeing more of your historic videos x

Thanks for the video. The wife and I visited on Friday. A very sombre place which should be visited by all to help people never forget.

It’s an incredible place to visit, takes your breath away when you first see it, bcus of its size

Thank you very much for traveling to these places, videoing them, & explaining what you know about them. I’m sure I will not have the opportunity to travel to these places in person. You are making possible for myself & others to see them. I am very grateful to you for this. My father served in Europe during WWII, he didn’t talk about it. He’s gone now, but this lets me in on where he was & what he may have seen. My deepest thanks for that!!

Great video. I visited there, la coupole and mimoyeques about 15 years ago. Very sombre places too, especially the v3 site with those poor souls still buried in the lower complex.

Love this place. Had another visit last year, along with la coupole. Serious concrete! Heading off to France and Belgium in a couple of weeks for some Fort and Bunker visits providing the virus doesn't stop us travelling. Keep the videos coming👍

That's the one, Billy!

Great story, thanks. So many things we don't know about the natzi endeavour. Still to discoverd.

Video bello Like buona serata

Great video! Super work! Thanks a lot, enjoyed every single minute of the video, greeting from The Netherlands!

Thank you for this site seeing. My dad never visited the place although his father escaped it during a bombing.

Nice video, Billy. We must catch up sometime when Bernard's over.

I went about fifteen years ago, I took a bunch of fellow bikers including my 15 year old son Will, as we approached and it came into view, a chorus of “ ffffffffffffucking hell” came from us. it’s pretty staggering.

Thank you very much for this superb, well-researched video! My family and I plan to travel to the Calais area on a day trip from London by the Eurostar. Do you have any suggestions for any other World War 2-related sights in and around Calais (other than this and the Atlantic Wall Museum)? Best wishes for your videos!

The amount of engineering they put into it and the Atlantic wall ,and like you said they are memorials to all the slave labourers , I can't even imagine how gruel ING and the hrs they worked ,and died ,👍🙏

You present this structure as a V2 launch building. This is the view of some but not all. You likely noticed that the inside was a small space compared to the building outside. The idea of erecting a V2 with odd floors in the way and no actual doors to cart them to the launch pads should have been obvious. In actual fact, we do known that there were facilities and evidence of the manufacture of liquid oxygen found when the Americans entered the area. But, we really don’t know what the Germans intended this massive structure to be. No paperwork has ever been publicly disclosed to show why, even under heavy bombing and mobile rocket launchers the accepted norm, the Germans continued to work on the structure almost to the day it was captured. If it wasn’t a V2 launch site…… what was it, really? Visit Lost Battlefields with Tino Struckmann to see his tour of this facility and witness his reaction to it. Best wishes

3 good videos on the V weapon sites. The Blockhaus D'éperlecques site, there's not really that much to see, as you can only walk into the main chamber which has a few artefacts and a video screen display of what it was like during the build of the site. Due to the fact that most of the site was back filled with gravel due to the bombings causing the building to flood , the blast doors, (as you walk into the building), there is a 3 or 4 feet of the door below the walk way, as this was the main rail track entrance. It would be good if the museum had a full history and may be a photo\video history of when the site was captured as there's not any that I seen when I visited the site, the building is something to behold as you make your way through the outside displays and the size of the building just looms out of the undergrowth. You can see how much backfilling has been done as there is an 'eingang' entrance that is practically covered up, this entrance must be a good 6ft in height with only a 1 or two feet of the top visible It would be good if the owners pumped the building out and either opened up the site for guided tours of the lower floors or made their own video of lower floors. Don't let any of what I have said here put anyone off from visiting this site, it is still worth a visit for madness of the Nazis and the sacrifices of their victims.

Mzrci pour le repotage, les esclaves étaient en grande partie Polonaise et pour parachever le travail, les Allemands ont coulé le béton alors que ces pauvres gens étaient encore dessous la priorité était de couler le dessus puis monté par d'énormes verins sous les intenses bombardements alliés, j'ai visité les lieux ado, j'avoue que cela m'ai resté marqué...

You dont know what youre saying , they never build or launch anything from that place , till today nobody can say for sure what they intend to do there
