Thank you for all the videos you make, and the time you put into them for getting there finding relics or showing us around historic places for free thank you for all the time and effort you put into your videos

What a Spectacular find. Thanks for sharing. Wish you could have explored deeper in the areas that were sealed off.

Damn 😳 Extremely impressive. More like a cathedral than a casemate... That construction is massive. Mind-blowing the amount of engineering, material, skill and labour that would have gone into creating that monster structure!

I love these videos, it's so nice to see pieces of history like this preserved on film for all the ages.

Wow you are not kidding that gun position is huge , massive as you say very cool !! Thanks for another great adventure as always been watching your vlogs for a couple of years now and I'd always informative and is truly history thanks again !!

I always love the enthusiasm and excitement in your narration. It is also great to see that you have your son accompany you.

Thanks for making the effort to get this one. Super amazing.

Another fantastic film WW2HH your editing a credit as long as you document these structures they will always be with us 👍👍

This was one hell of an installation - thanks for documenting this.

I love this channel so much! Keep it going

Thank you so much for again an amazing video. Impressive!!!

What a huge and impressive building! I bet your son loved exploring this location as much as you did! Fantastic video!

WOW that was massive! Similar to TODT battery casemates calais

One thumbs up is not enough for this video. This may be your crowning video. This encasement is COLOSSAL! Can you imagine how many square yards of concrete went into this structure? Absolutely amazing my friend. Can't wait for part 2. It has lasted 70 plus years so it will last another generation or 2.

Very impressive bunker! Thanks for sharing.

Great video again. Thanks

Yes it's truly amazing what the Germans managed to build. My respect is given to the poor people who had labour on these monstrous construction. No H&S, no food and no choice.

Absolutely amazing, Thank you for sharing this.

great video, I've always been fascinated by these kind of things, just amazing. How in the heck did you gain access to this place? hard to believe it's not fenced off!

That is really amazing. Thanks for the great video

Incredible structure.... huge! I hope I get a chance to explore some of these sites. Thankyou for your work.

History hunter comes through with a good one again! We must learn from history, teach history, and preserve history. For the future! Beautiful videos history hunter!!!

Thank you for showing us this amazing site. Very enjoyable indeed!

Amazing. Great video sir.

Awesome vid mate you're so lucky to be able to go look at the things that are left behind from that time and to go with your child . I live in a old mine town and when I was younger I always explored the old mine works . Very dangerous I know. But still it was awesome . They have all gone now so they are just memories one day they too will be gone but not for a long time so I really appreciate the opportunity to see them thanks so much for sharing .just awesomeness thanks

damn thats huge. nice video.. as always

Great video 👍👍👍👍👍

Your vids are FANTASTIC! ... but *WHY* don't you say WHERE you are? Am I missing something? Keep up the incredible documentary work ... and THANK YOU! I *LOVE* all your drone footage too. Seeing these implacements from above puts them into perspective.

My kids and I love your vids ... keep up the great adventures ... lots of things in history to learn about! History must be preserved to remind us of the things that should never happen again!

That’s a huge location. To build something that big and then never put a gun there is a mystery. Could it be the invasion started and everything here was stopped? Eagle Eyes is fearless climbing up that ladder. Magnificent architecture in the design. It’s a beautiful structure.

Great video again thanks. i wish they will last forever :)

Wow that is unreal i would love to visit...keep up the fantastic work

Wow so impressive . Amazing it is in such good condition . Thanks Eagle Eyes and History Hunter. 👍💜

That was an amazing video

Thankyou for sharing this scarily massive old facility.

My Lord! This place needs to be restored and preserved, it's in great condition.

Love your video's, as always, have you noticed how art deco in design this structure is.

Such a amazing video

awesome! It would be nice to hear a little more background on why a gun was never mounted there & little more of the story behind it. thanks for sharing!

I live in the US and would you consider adding a general location on a map on your videos? It would be great to have a general location so that we'd have an idea and perhaps a strategic idea as to why the locations were selected? (if they are in "secret" locations, that's why I said general locations) Enjoyable videos and good for you for taking your son with you. My dad would take me places. Sometimes I would complain about going and act bored, but they are now some of my favorite childhood memories.

That was Great H.H Thanks

Hi ww2 history hunter i love your videos i come from serbia.

Great again... Thx for sharing... :o)

Impressive! The engineering that went into it, just mind blowing!

That's a great video

wow! great video btw

Amazing structure, thank you for showing it to us.. You can almost imagine the sound of the cannon firing when you stand inside... Would one be willing to be inside when it fired, I doubt it :)

Awesome!

By far the most well preserved bunkers I've ever seen surprisingly no graffiti it's a shame there's no mounted gun though

0:29 a MASSIVE casemate for one of the huge coastal batteries basically inside a block of concrete, this will be here long after we are all gone. The hole in the roof above the gun pit was used to fit the canons in place. Somewhere there are photos of the huge tripods they built on the roof with the cable running down through the hold to the barrel etc. It lines up exactly with the traversing ring. After the tripod was removed a small gun then used this hole as a mount . OH I have missed part one - as Arnold Scwarzenegger says " I'LL BE BACK" couldnt find Part one or the link😔 1:59 they could make this a tourist train, put a small diesel loco here, with passenger cars extend the tracks more and make is a visitor attraction! It ASTOUNDS me how and where they got all the resources to make concrete in the most OUT OF THE WAY places. They had to bring in LIME, CEMENT, GRAVEL, BALLAST, REBAR - how??? The NOISE when they fired must have been horrendous! in that enclosed area. What a pity they go to all the measure to put steps to the roof THEN THEY CONCRETE ALL THE ROOMS SEALED?? WHY?? THAT is a spectacular tourist spot if they did something with it? Maybe a big searchlight to light it at night, exhibitions of the shells and soldiers, a real life diorama! I think with all the ammo slots, this gun fired several different types of shell, HE (high explosive) AP (armour piercing) and GS (gas shells) 9:12 They would have used the local tree branches and bushes etc woven into this steel web, seen this before. once this is done its virtually INVISIBLE from the air. I bought a drone 7 years ago but have never flown it. Would love to take it to film this for its first flight.

Now that was just heart stopping! That place is still great ! Thank y’all !! 👍🏻👍🏻

outstanding, thanks for showing us round

Very nice video.......and big respect from Zagreb/Croatia

Nice! Love this!

How i miss this i don't know, but that is Amazing just think how big was the gun and it's rounds it fired all so love it when you use the drone that give's a real idea how powerful it must have been,thank you for sharing this :-)

That looks so cool

Wow, impressive. What a treasure for WWII history lovers like me, thank you so much for bringing this to us. In Gibraltar where I live we have an area called Casemates Square. Which were old fortifications designed to defend against Spanish invasion. But this, for a single building, is just awesome and immense. German engineering at its best.

I am very impressed with the condition of the metal works as similar systems at fort Flagger, Casey, & Warden are rusting extremely fast Awesome Videos thanks for taking the time

Wow.... incredible structure. Very impressive. Another place I'd love to go see.

Thanks for your hard work researching these amazing structures, but it does make you think how many poor souls died making it.

wow great pictures

Absolutely astounding. You look at these old structures and you have to think about when they were operational. Imagine the level of activity.

In 500 years people will be looking at it. That is one strong building.

Good Show!

Outstanding video! You must be an extraordinary father and your son very happy.

Súper cool amigo...

the amount of labor and materials that it took to build one of these casement is phenomenal , when you multiply that by thousands it's FRICKEN incredible

I really wish I was there! It's so amazing, I'm speechless...

So cool to see such amazing structures, just too bad people have to ruin a lot of them with graffiti. Though this one was almost completely graffiti free. Awesome vid, can't wait for part 3.

super cool

absolutely mind blowing construction!!!!

Damn that was awesome. Can you imagine the sound of the gun going off in there. The noise would of been immense.

Life expectancy is 100 years for concrete. After that, they start breaking down based on loads. So an unsupported roof might collapse, a side loaded wall will crash to the side etc.

amazing, wish I could visit places like that.

Astounding size. So glad to see it has been saved from ruin. The energy and concrete it took to build it leaves me gobsmacked!

Well done another great upload, and a great father always keeping an eye on your son for dangers.👏 HOLY MADONA.

Very nice videos.. Could you give location names for place you visited?Its will be fair with others to see the same structures like you for own eyes. Thanks

At 9:46 when you show the front, there are steel artificial trees "growing" from the front of the structure. This was also part of the camouflaging techniques used to help hide installations like this. Any idea if they are original to this facility? During the Second World War the Boeing aircraft plant was covered with a netting which when viewed from the air made it appear to be a small rural town. The site was actually many acres of industrial buildings which birthed bombers by the hour. Great video, I envy your accessibility to history like this. If only my dad had taken that offer of four years in Wiesbaden instead of retirement after 20+ years in the military... I would have been seeing all of this stuff with 45 less years of age on it.

Beyond amazing

Very good video and everyone young and old need to see and learn NO HARM there,wish I could take my children there to see all that awesome history.gut gemacht.

WOW Very Impressive.

It needs to be restored to show what life was like back then the German government can't rewind time it happened and we all learn from mistakes

Klasse ! Impressive area !!!

Great Video as always, is this one of the Bunkers near Calais ? As it had a 38cm gun I am guessing it is.

@WW2HistoryHunter how do you research a location ? How do you know that there was a ammunitioncamp at that river where u were magnetfishing ? :D Love your videos !!!!!!

Very cool thanks for sharing that with us. You say it didn't ever have a gun in it? Do you know any more history about it? Any info or photos of when it was being constructed/used? I really enjoyed that, great editing!!

dam that is COOL man

Thanks for the video from Fife Scotland we have many defences built by the polish army but none as impressive as this :)

great video and so interesting.....when you were looking forward out of the structure, there was a flag pole flying a flag.....what was that all about?.....

I love it

Wow huge gorgeous construction 👀 Hi from the UK 🇬🇧

Nice

That is so cool! It is truly amazing! To bad they walled of the other parts

Amazing, thanks for sharing! Hopefully I can see something like this when I go to Germany in November!

Do you ever find any lightning arresting rods on these bunkers? I figure they had to have something to protect the ammo in storage. I know from working on bases that where ammo, missiles in particular, are stored they have a very intricate lightning protection system. Also, that roof must have been about 5.5 meters thick or so.

For a structure to be that big, you know the gun was massive. Ol Adolph likes big guns.

Would be interesting to see what’s behind the closed doors or the areas which have been bricked up

Nice to see you with your son teaching him about history, Good job DAD.

That is one impressive structure, wish I was there. 😃

I watched a show on TV and they were showing what he had built just in Norway. there were 165+ of these positions originally and more were added later. Also there were massive structures designed to launch torpedoes at incoming ships and there is also a fully functional large cannon sans firing ability. Hitler spend a massive amount of money and man power building these structures that could have been used elsewhere.
