As you are standing up at the top of this location I could only imagine what a cold winter wind and snow would have felt like in that place! I would think a platoon could have held an army off from the top of that hill! Thank you and EE for the extraordinary effort to find and then explore this location! What an interesting and unexplored position! Stay well and stay safe gentlemen!
Totally so Donald , Being there in a strong cold winter storm must have been very hard indeed. Very important position it was to protect a important stretch of lad and sea. Thank you again Donald for your incredible support.
Incredible mountain bunker! I feel for the Young Men that had to endure harsh condition's on top of that fortress! Thank you Eagle Eyes and HH for taking us there!
Thanks! Thank you for letting us be part of your journeys EE and HH. No denying that the German Engineers knew their stuff when it came to designing defensive fortifications, bunkers, trenches etc. I do remember reading and hearing from relatives that the Germans paid and treated the local tradesmen well. That higher proximity allowed an excellent view of the major waterways while providing protective cover. Well planned. The mountain bunker WAS a surprise. Very sturdy with the reinforced beams, concrete, and rocks. Imagine the time spent to build it. Wouldn't it be something if the MG was still there at the machine gun position. Although it might have been one of the much safer places during WW2 for the Germans, I can't imagine a young 16yr old German soldier having to leave the safety of his home and his loved ones and going off to fight there. Like you said HH, we must never forget that there were real human beings fighting on both sides of the war with feelings, dreams, who felt pain, and bled real blood. There must be so much there to be discovered, thank you HH and EE.
Yes Laura , locals were actually often treated very well and also paid good money to do the work. It was also very needed work at some locations as ironically enough the war drained some communities for jobs and resources. This place is totally cray and not before you witness yourself how steep this is you can fully understand it. Thanks so much for your great support Laura and greetings from us.
You were absolutely correct! No matter what, these young men served their country, were ripped away from everything familiar, to go fight for someone else's beliefs. It doesn't matter what the nationality, they were all human.... your videos are truly amazing, especially with your narration. Thank you both
Thank you both for trekking up that steep hillside to bring us this incredible location. The amount of labour involved to create such a complex maze of trenches on such a hard, rocky, and inhospitable, location, is mind blowing. After all your amazing videos, of trenches, and bunkers, and gun pits, it is still stunning how much effort, and time, the Germans put into literally, fortifying everywhere they stood. And it's these locations, not the "tourist" bunkers, that ram that home. Especially sites like this, virtually untouched, except by Mother Nature, that are my favourite. Thank you again for bringing us this unique, amazing, place. Cheers to you both! Stay Safe!
Yes they dug in everywhere and anywhere it seems. Love to share this special place Peter and so glad to see a untouched area like that. Thanks and greetings from us.
You definitely have a gift when it comes to the way you share your adventures with us. It’s incredibly easy to get immersed in them and feel like we’re all there with you! Thanks for the great content, and tell Eagle Eyes we all want to be like him when we grow up haha
Wow, thank you my friend for the kind words and it is so great to be out there and share history like we do. Greetings from us and be safe out there :)
What a great position with unbelievable trenches everywhere. Only thing with the high ground you have to come down and if surrounded you could be starved out,
Yet another amazing installation. I honestly don't know how they managed to get up the hill, let alone, install all this trenches and mg positions. A true feat of engineering. Many thanks to you and EE for braving that climb and showing us the features on top of that hill. You guys rock
Right you were EE. There was something of importance up there. Can't get over how beautiful the scenery is. Defensive position was so well hidden and protected from the 40-45 km winds. Still I imagine they would rather be home. Couldn't ask for a better view of the coastline. The Germans were always so good at utilizing the native surroundings. Thank you for taking us through the trenches EE. That barbed wire will help make an awesome shadowbox for some lucky receiver. You are more than generous HH in regards to sharing your WW2 finds with your followers. Stay safe & keep 😃 smiling you 2
Well done for getting to the top! The place is heavily entrenched, you could probably spend a whole week up there and still keep finding things. Thanks for taking us along yet again!
WOW! What an excellent location and without you, we would never have been able to see this special WWII history find. Thank you both for sharing this with us. And as always " good hunting "
If someone was to want to look at bunkers and went on line, what they would find are the more popular locations that you read about in history books. You take us to the forgotten location or not so popular location and out of the way location. This location is in an area were many people would not go. Like you said,this is a lot of work. Everything you have showed us probably doesn’t even scratch the surface as to what is there. It would probably be hard to do but metal detecting this area may turn up hidden treasures as many people haven’t been up there. Great location and great finds from Eagle Eyes.
Yes we do a ton of research just to find those totally lost and forgotten places but enjoy also the larger known places. This is a great place that i hope will be left alone and stay like it is. Thanks.
Thank you two gentlemen for pursuing your passion and sharing it with us. This was a truly deeply researched location. As always love your adventures and a reminder to stay safe and be careful....
I had never seen what you referred to as a mountain bunker before. Very interesting. I enjoy seeing the bunkers along the Atlantic Wall but for me, these ones that are built up in the mountains and woods are much more interesting. It doesn't have the level of sophistication that some of the other Atlantic Wall bunkers have but it also lacks the predictability of some of those Atlantic Wall bunkers as well and I find that quite interesting. Thank you both once again for bringing this wonderful history to us. Take care and stay safe my friends.
Wow that is aén amazing position! Just like you said, it's absolutely insane to think about the level of craftsmanship and labor that went into creating such a stronghold. There seem to be an endless amount of trenches going every 8which way! I can't wait to see what the next video has to offer! Keep up the awesome work !!
Awesome place the trenches where everywhere never seen that many in one place . The little bunker was amazing never seen one like it ! Thanks for the demo of the gun positions great job EE ! HH that was a great and unreal location . Thank y’all so much ! Can’t wait to see more . Be careful! Be safe ! Will we get to to see what EE found in the food container I’m very noisy !! Thanks!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Fantastic place you certainly are doing a great job documenting these hidden places before there gone love your channel always interesting thanks for all you effort and time you put into it 😎😎😎😎😎
Oh, my goodness, what a climb up that hill! But what a gem it turned out to be! As a mother, I'd rather my son went to this position than the Eastern Front, for sure. More WW2 awesomeness!!!💖
So true Cynthia. That hill is a challenge to say the least and a mother would have been happy to see her son there instead of Eastern front yes. Thank you and keep smiling my friend :)
Yes Oma a very tough climb up there and so glad we found that place and shared it with you. WE wish you a speedy recovery my friend and greetings from us.
I'm sitting outside on my front lawn, feeding the squirrels peanuts, and watching your newest adventure. The sun is going down and the squirrels and I enjoying your video. 👍🐿
I can't imagine what the winters were like up there, especially living in South Georgia in the states. I also can't imagine the amount of work involved in creating such a place with the extensive network of tunnels and barracks that were there. Simply spectacular! The German war machine overcame so many obstacles on this one position that it boggles the mind. They were experts in creating some amazing fortresses. Thank you and Eagle Eyes for sharing such a wonderful adventure. Take care and stay safe. 💖💯
So true Julie , so much work involved for that little location but it was very important for the Germans i gather. Thanks my friend and more to come :)
What a great position to be at! You could see people coming from miles away! You and Eagle eyes picked a beautiful day to make that hike was very peaceful not much wind! Thanks for sharing and be safe!
Incredible!!The thought that you and eagle eyes are probably the very few people who have walked in these German installations is such an amazing experience many thx for your explore.👏👏👏👏
I`m so glad you could show us this spectacular location that we seldom stumble across ourself and never get to see elsewhere on YT. Hope to see more from this place.
One thing always amazes me with the locations you find, and that is nature. The slightest piece of bare ground, and a tree will grow. How some of the have stood for so long on this hillside fort I will never know. The work as you say is mind blowing, to carve out and build trenches on the side of a hill like that. EE, ever the trooper, seem to be having a great time, and with such a great dad as you, no wonder. Thank you for all the research and efforts you put in to these video's and for sharing with us. Stay save and well my friends
Agree Barry. Nature will claim back no matter what it seems. Interesting place it is for sure. EE is such a great companion out there and loved to share that with you. Greetings and be safe.
What a awesome location, I can't help but wonder what else is in the area that made it necessary to Fortify the mountain , can't imagine how hard it was to dig the trenches and so many of them, can't wait to see what you and E.E. show us next.
Another extremely interesting site. Eagle Eyes & you must be part Billy Goat. Great effort. It takes two to tango, & that is also true of your explorations.
An amazing place, I bet there hasn't been many people up there since the Germans left it! And special thanks for a longer video, Great to see your young ee's enthusiasm, keep it up young man, well done 👍
To see an untouched stronghold like that is fantastic.....and good effort climbing up there guys 👏 Seeing places like this make my patreon definitely worth it, thank you 👍🏻
I wonder how much may have been dropped by air, men & equipment way back. Maybe they'd cut small clearnings to get supplies ect, then would cammo those spaces up
Fantastic site. Yes, Normandy and the large public sites are crowded and filmed to the nth degree. These are the sites that show what life is all about. Another great filming. That the camo methods are still there is amazing. If at the end they had collected all the combat wire and remelted it, the amount of car body parts would have been astronomical. Falling down the hill is most assuredly going to leave marks on you. The loss of the camera is a killer. Can the RoV be put down and recover it? Again, great video work. Nice to see EE does tire. 😁 We will work on getting the camera replaced. The both of you stay safe and well.
Yes William , that place is something else. So much to see and study. Camera loss is just tragic yes but will see what we can do to get a new one. Thanks William.
WoW!! Absolutely amazing.. And no graffiti either.. I guess it is better to find these trenches and bunkers rather than the touristy ones.. They sure did put a lot of effort and work into this project.. Stay safe you guys.. Much love from South Carolina USA..
What an amazing place they were very busy building the trenches and fortifications thanks for showing us appreciated to both of you for your time and effort 👌
That was an AWESOME adventure. All those trenches; unbelievable, unbelievable!! Question: after you started walking in the first trench, I noticed what looked like a "coax" wire; what was that? I went backed and looked and it did look like a wire laying across the trench. Interesting indeed. Can't imagine living there in during the Winter and all. Thanks to you both. Hi to EE !!
Thanks for the video HH and EE, this is another awesome place for a stronghold. This must have taken a long time to construct but so beautiful to be sent to. Great views all round I would think!!😎⛰️⛰️⛰️⛰️🇬🇧🇺🇦
Thanks for another adventure of your WW2 expedition. Really enjoy tour videos and wish I could be traveling with you on your findings of these WW2 sites and metal detecting.
Wow that was amazing what a location how high up how they did that , incredible that the wire still there ,I like the fact you said the people that people from local area got paid to do it ,thank you ✌️❤️🇬🇧
I would imagine most soldiers would feel safe at a location like this. An attacking force from below would have many casualties trying to get to the top. With the advancement of air power and artillery these locations probably weren’t that safe. No where to hind. This location is like it’s frozen in time. Hopefully as you said, it will remain this way for many years to come.
That looks like quite an interesting spot. When you're metal detecting do you ever check along the bottom of the trenches themselves? With all the running back and forth that the soldiers would have done in those trenches it seems likely that they would have dropped and lost things along those narrow paths. Thanks to you and EE for your efforts and for posting.
Yes pieces are often n the bottom but then again often on the top as that is where they stacked things to be ready it seems. Thanks and greetings from us.
Such an amazing view and such a amazing position nice to see you back eagle eyes I hope that you're taking care of your arm you brought us the one special sensation thanks guys you guys take care learn from your daddy go eyes proud to be German
Might pay to grab a few tether lines to attach to your equipment . We use them at work when working at heights , sometimes a bit awkward but well worth having rather then loosing expensive equipment
HH, as you describe your surroundings, you often say something like, "Imagine, Wilhelm, Hans, and Reinhardt ..." You tend to use those three names the most. Is that trio of names people significant in your life whom you choose to remember on your expeditions? There is "ped" in expedition, how many pairs of hiking boots do you destroy in a year?
Actually these names have a meaning regarding a book i have read so in a way yes. around 2-3 pairs will be destroyed every year i think. Thanks Paul :)
First Thank you for all your hard work and hope the time spent with your kids is way more special then the information you get and share with us and lost equipment. That big hook I bet it was some kind of tram system as to even just get the amount of concrete you showed us would have been a huge feat with out something. Thanks again
What an amazing, location. So cool to be able to imagime the German soldiers a,chive all the way up the hill. Such a powerful stronghold. Thank you EE and HH for being prepared to trek all the way up the steep jillsode so that we could see this unusual setting!
I wouldn't want to be one of the Allied soldier tasked with taking that hill. A fortified hill full of MG-34's, and 42's makes for a bad day just getting to the foot of the hill, much less getting up it. Since it's untouched I would imagine there's a metal detecting video coming up on this location. If so it should prove to be quite productive. It's looking as though your road trip is exceeding your expectations.
could actually need that there as there are some features we just couldnt get to. Great place to explore and glad we could share it with you my friend :)
I actually think that the Allies never knew of this location. Just my thoughts but then again they could have but never took interest in it. Thanks Martin.
Hi historyhunter and egale eyes .why not go back to where u dropped your camera in the water use your rov to see if you can find it and get back then you could get the camera repaired
The German people are really motivated to be able to occupy that steep mountain top. I bet there are several more mountain top positions that are near there. If they would go through all that for one firing position you know there are more. It just makes sense. Nice video Sir. EE is such a wonderful young man. He isn't a kid anymore. It's been fun watching grow from a little kid always putting his hands in the shot to finding some of the greatest finds on your channel. Soon he will be driving and going out on dates. I wish I still had my Canon D80 I would send it to you but the ex-wife took it. She doesn't even know how to use it. Divorces what can you do other then be happy it's over. What ever happened to Viking Restoration? I loved to watch those videos. I haven't room to talk I haven't made a video in a few years. Well you and EE and BBG have a great day. I wish I could send EE something for Christmas. I think everyone should send him a gift to show him the live he shows us. Sorry my ex took my will to live.🤣 Just kidding I'm going to bounce back bigger and better just hopefully not longer. Happy History Hunting 😁
Yes there are and we will share more later from the area. Well EE is just VERY TALL For his age my friend and it will be many year before driving and dates :) VR will not be continued for a while as i struggle to have enough time for it all but who knows what the future can be. YOU my friend will not sag or cry YOU will smile at life and kick a... :) Thanks for being here :)
Beautiful, well done my friend, it's so cool seeing your son having fun, glad to see nothing was sprayed with graffiti. May I ask you for 2 snips of barbed wire please, about a foot long, nothing major. Just when you get time to get around to it.
As you are standing up at the top of this location I could only imagine what a cold winter wind and snow would have felt like in that place! I would think a platoon could have held an army off from the top of that hill! Thank you and EE for the extraordinary effort to find and then explore this location! What an interesting and unexplored position! Stay well and stay safe gentlemen!
Totally so Donald , Being there in a strong cold winter storm must have been very hard indeed. Very important position it was to protect a important stretch of lad and sea. Thank you again Donald for your incredible support.
You deserve a million subscribers,history unfolding before our eyes and for all the informative videos,Danke schon
Wow, thank you!
Ain’t it so…
What he and his family do is so important to history. Never a dull video. He makes you feel like family. Such a great man.
Incredible mountain bunker! I feel for the Young Men that had to endure harsh condition's on top of that fortress! Thank you Eagle Eyes and HH for taking us there!
Glad you enjoyed it and i agree so hard it must have been to serve there. Thanks and greetings from us.
Thanks! Thank you for letting us be part of your journeys EE and HH. No denying that the German Engineers knew their stuff when it came to designing defensive fortifications, bunkers, trenches etc. I do remember reading and hearing from relatives that the Germans paid and treated the local tradesmen well. That higher proximity allowed an excellent view of the major waterways while providing protective cover. Well planned. The mountain bunker WAS a surprise. Very sturdy with the reinforced beams, concrete, and rocks. Imagine the time spent to build it. Wouldn't it be something if the MG was still there at the machine gun position. Although it might have been one of the much safer places during WW2 for the Germans, I can't imagine a young 16yr old German soldier having to leave the safety of his home and his loved ones and going off to fight there. Like you said HH, we must never forget that there were real human beings fighting on both sides of the war with feelings, dreams, who felt pain, and bled real blood. There must be so much there to be discovered, thank you HH and EE.
Yes Laura , locals were actually often treated very well and also paid good money to do the work. It was also very needed work at some locations as ironically enough the war drained some communities for jobs and resources. This place is totally cray and not before you witness yourself how steep this is you can fully understand it. Thanks so much for your great support Laura and greetings from us.
Incredibly steep hill.Those poor soldiers going up and down and carrying equipment as well.Thank you for sharing.Stay safe and Bless you both.👍❤️🇺🇸😍
The camera doesnt show it how steep it really is , believe me. Great explore and thanks :)
You were absolutely correct! No matter what, these young men served their country, were ripped away from everything familiar, to go fight for someone else's beliefs. It doesn't matter what the nationality, they were all human.... your videos are truly amazing, especially with your narration. Thank you both
So true they were all just men that was told to serve no matter what. Thank you Norma :)
Thank you both for trekking up that steep hillside to bring us this incredible location. The amount of labour involved to create such a complex maze of trenches on such a hard, rocky, and inhospitable, location, is mind blowing. After all your amazing videos, of trenches, and bunkers, and gun pits, it is still stunning how much effort, and time, the Germans put into literally, fortifying everywhere they stood. And it's these locations, not the "tourist" bunkers, that ram that home. Especially sites like this, virtually untouched, except by Mother Nature, that are my favourite. Thank you again for bringing us this unique, amazing, place. Cheers to you both! Stay Safe!
Yes they dug in everywhere and anywhere it seems. Love to share this special place Peter and so glad to see a untouched area like that. Thanks and greetings from us.
You definitely have a gift when it comes to the way you share your adventures with us. It’s incredibly easy to get immersed in them and feel like we’re all there with you! Thanks for the great content, and tell Eagle Eyes we all want to be like him when we grow up haha
Wow, thank you my friend for the kind words and it is so great to be out there and share history like we do. Greetings from us and be safe out there :)
Thanks!
What a fantastic yet strategic spot. Eagle eyes you are totally awesome working with your dad.
Yes my friend he is a true explorer and history hunter for sure. Thank for that and greetings from us.
Vielen Dank !
Gott segne Ihre Arbeit, danke. 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks.
@WW2HistoryHunter I heard that an 8 year old girl saw ghosts of German soldiers in Normandy, and it is 100% accurate.
What a great position with unbelievable trenches everywhere.
Only thing with the high ground you have to come down and if surrounded you could be starved out,
So true and you wouldnt be able to get down if you wanted to. Great comment and thanks Doug.
Yet another amazing installation. I honestly don't know how they managed to get up the hill, let alone, install all this trenches and mg positions. A true feat of engineering. Many thanks to you and EE for braving that climb and showing us the features on top of that hill. You guys rock
i agree it blows my mind to see how much work was involved to get all up there. crazy place. Thanks John.
It does look untouched , I'm wondering how much stuff was left behind. very cool location guys , I could spend hours up there.
It is really a interesting place for sure and we shall look into it more later Dave :)
Right you were EE. There was something of importance up there. Can't get over how beautiful the scenery is. Defensive position was so well hidden and protected from the 40-45 km winds. Still I imagine they would rather be home. Couldn't ask for a better view of the coastline. The Germans were always so good at utilizing the native surroundings. Thank you for taking us through the trenches EE. That barbed wire will help make an awesome shadowbox for some lucky receiver. You are more than generous HH in regards to sharing your WW2 finds with your followers. Stay safe & keep 😃 smiling you 2
Yes we are still trying to figure out why it is so extensive up there. Incredible little place that is. Thanks Laura for your great support.
Well done for getting to the top! The place is heavily entrenched, you could probably spend a whole week up there and still keep finding things. Thanks for taking us along yet again!
Could be interesting this up there indeed. Thanks my friend.
That view is amazing. You can see why they took that advantage.
Agree and very glad to have found that place. Thanks Leeroy :)
WOW! What an excellent location and without you, we would never have been able to see this special WWII history find. Thank you both for sharing this with us. And as always " good hunting "
Thank you my friend and be safe :)
That scenery was beautiful. The moss on everything was something I haven’t seen.thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it Mary and a very special place it is. Greetings and be safe :)

Thank you two gentlemen for pursuing your passion and sharing it with us. This was a truly deeply researched location. As always love your adventures and a reminder to stay safe and be careful....
yes not easy to find or even get to know details of. Thanks Ted :)
Your effort to take the path less taken to show these unusual locations is much appreciated. Thanks HH and EE.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks you D :)
I had never seen what you referred to as a mountain bunker before. Very interesting. I enjoy seeing the bunkers along the Atlantic Wall but for me, these ones that are built up in the mountains and woods are much more interesting.

Agree Alfred , these are special and love that. Thanks for your great support.
Such an incredible site. Thank you for taking us along. Great job EE. Y’all stay safe
Thanks, you too!
The big hook could have been the anchor point to hoist supplys up.
A large pole A frame with a pulley would make work a lot easier.
Like a tram?
Perhaps that yes who knows. Thanks for being here.
Wow that is aén amazing position! Just like you said, it's absolutely insane to think about the level of craftsmanship and labor that went into creating such a stronghold. There seem to be an endless amount of trenches going every 8which way! I can't wait to see what the next video has to offer! Keep up the awesome work !!
Yes this place is something else for sure and loved to see what they did up there. Thanks Christopher and greetings from us.
Awesome place the trenches where everywhere never seen that many in one place . The little bunker was amazing never seen one like it ! Thanks for the demo of the gun positions great job EE ! HH that was a great and unreal location . Thank y’all so much ! Can’t wait to see more . Be careful! Be safe ! Will we get to to see what EE found in the food container I’m very noisy !! Thanks!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Agree Mark , what a special place that is. Will share more later my friend :)
Thanks again 👍🏻👍🏻
Fantastic place you certainly are doing a great job documenting these hidden places before there gone love your channel always interesting thanks for all you effort and time you put into it 😎😎😎😎😎
It is important to do so and share it i think. Thanks my friend for your great support it is greatly appreciated :)
Oh, my goodness, what a climb up that hill! But what a gem it turned out to be! As a mother, I'd rather my son went to this position than the Eastern Front, for sure. More WW2 awesomeness!!!💖
So true Cynthia. That hill is a challenge to say the least and a mother would have been happy to see her son there instead of Eastern front yes. Thank you and keep smiling my friend :)
Thank you & EE for that hard climb up the hill to show us all this amazing history.
Totally appreciate you being here my friend :)
It is indeed quite a climb to the top of the mountain.
Nice to see EA so busy, a trained soldier.
You have a nice view from the top.
Yes Oma a very tough climb up there and so glad we found that place and shared it with you. WE wish you a speedy recovery my friend and greetings from us.
I'm sitting outside on my front lawn, feeding the squirrels peanuts, and watching your newest adventure. The sun is going down and the squirrels and I enjoying your video. 👍🐿
That is awesome!
What a great position can't believe how much was there. Can't wait for the next adventure.
More to come Jacob and greetings from us.
I can't imagine what the winters were like up there, especially living in South Georgia in the states. I also can't imagine the amount of work involved in creating such a place with the extensive network of tunnels and barracks that were there. Simply spectacular! The German war machine overcame so many obstacles on this one position that it boggles the mind. They were experts in creating some amazing fortresses. Thank you and Eagle Eyes for sharing such a wonderful adventure. Take care and stay safe. 💖💯
So true Julie , so much work involved for that little location but it was very important for the Germans i gather. Thanks my friend and more to come :)
Great video as always ! Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing such videos with us.
So nice of you
Another intresting one ... bet those guys were cold up there on duty in the winter ! Thankyou again !
i imagine it would be very cold in a strong winter storm up there. Thanks Stephen.
Wow amazing stronghold hh and ee you both must have been shattered getting up there. Thank you both
The camera do not fully show how steep it actually is there. Glad we found it and thanks for watching.
What a great position to be at! You could see people coming from miles away! You and Eagle eyes picked a beautiful day to make that hike was very peaceful not much wind! Thanks for sharing and be safe!
Great outdoor adventure and thanks Joe :)
What an amazing location, thank you and EE for taking us to see this fortification. Can't get enough of your videos, everyone is so interesting.
Thanks Allen and more to come :)
Incredible!!The thought that you and eagle eyes are probably the very few people who have walked in these German installations is such an amazing experience many thx for your explore.👏👏👏👏
Agree what a great explore that was. Thanks Buzza :)
I`m so glad you could show us this spectacular location that we seldom stumble across ourself and never get to see elsewhere on YT. Hope to see more from this place.
There will be more coming later my friend and be safe out there. Greetings from us.

Agree Barry. Nature will claim back no matter what it seems. Interesting place it is for sure. EE is such a great companion out there and loved to share that with you. Greetings and be safe.
Simply blows ones mind to try and figure out the logistics involved in putting together a defense like this. Thanks for bringing us along
Totally agree and so much work involved it seems. Thanks James :)
What a awesome location, I can't help but wonder what else is in the area that made it necessary to Fortify the mountain , can't imagine how hard it was to dig the trenches and so many of them, can't wait to see what you and E.E. show us next.
There are quite a bit and we shall share more later from the area. Thanks Donald.
Another extremely interesting site. Eagle Eyes & you must be part Billy Goat. Great effort. It takes two to tango, & that is also true of your explorations.
Appreciated Michael and greetings from us.
I can only imagine what metal detecting would be like there.
Well we will share more later and thanks :)
Excellent video.
Thank you very much!
An amazing place, I bet there hasn't been many people up there since the Germans left it!
And special thanks for a longer video, Great to see your young ee's enthusiasm, keep it up young man, well done 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
It is a fortress with a wicked maze system of trenches. Just knowing how to get around that mountain top couldn’t have been easy!
I agree and i loved to see this place. Thanks for watching.
To see an untouched stronghold like that is fantastic.....and good effort climbing up there guys 👏
Seeing places like this make my patreon definitely worth it, thank you 👍🏻
Thanks 👍and we do work hard to get to and show special locations like you have never seen before. Thanks Colin :)
Always an Outstanding video and presentation by the WW2 History Hunter team.
Thank You
Thank YOU my friend for being here :)
I wonder how much may have been dropped by air, men & equipment way back. Maybe they'd cut small clearnings to get supplies ect, then would cammo those spaces up
Could be that indeed. Thanks for being here.
Fantastic site. Yes, Normandy and the large public sites are crowded and filmed to the nth degree. These are the sites that show what life is all about. Another great filming. That the camo methods are still there is amazing. If at the end they had collected all the combat wire and remelted it, the amount of car body parts would have been astronomical. Falling down the hill is most assuredly going to leave marks on you. The loss of the camera is a killer. Can the RoV be put down and recover it? Again, great video work. Nice to see EE does tire. 😁 We will work on getting the camera replaced. The both of you stay safe and well.
Yes William , that place is something else. So much to see and study. Camera loss is just tragic yes but will see what we can do to get a new one. Thanks William.
WoW!! Absolutely amazing..
And no graffiti either..
I guess it is better to find these trenches and bunkers rather than the touristy ones..
They sure did put a lot of effort and work into this project..
Stay safe you guys..
Much love from South Carolina USA..
Glad you enjoyed
What an amazing place they were very busy building the trenches and fortifications thanks for showing us appreciated to both of you for your time and effort 👌
Agree and loved that place for sure. Thanks.
Amazing video my friend 😊 holy pancake 🤣 👏👏 lol. That green moss is amazing for my spider enclosures 😁
Thank a lot for that my friend :)
That was an AWESOME adventure. All those trenches; unbelievable, unbelievable!! Question: after you started walking in the first trench, I noticed what looked like a "coax" wire; what was that? I went backed and looked and it did look like a wire laying across the trench. Interesting indeed. Can't imagine living there in during the Winter and all. Thanks to you both. Hi to EE !!
Yes that is a great place and that wire could be such. Loved to share that with you Colleen and greetings from us.
we are privileged because you show us these things that have been forgotten
Appreciated Gino and greetings from us.
Keep doing what you do, it's important for the youth to learn about this. Especially now.
Thank you, I will
Thanks for the video HH and EE, this is another awesome place for a stronghold. This must have taken a long time to construct but so beautiful to be sent to. Great views all round I would think!!😎⛰️⛰️⛰️⛰️🇬🇧🇺🇦
Thank you Christopher :)
Thanks for another adventure of your WW2 expedition. Really enjoy tour videos and wish I could be traveling with you on your findings of these WW2 sites and metal detecting.
Thanks for being here :)
Wow that was amazing what a location how high up how they did that , incredible that the wire still there ,I like the fact you said the people that people from local area got paid to do it ,thank you ✌️❤️🇬🇧
Thank you Paul :)
What an amazing mountain bunker! Thank you for sharing this guys!
Very interesting place that is and thanks for being here my friend :)
I would imagine most soldiers would feel safe at a location like this. An attacking force from below would have many casualties trying to get to the top. With the advancement of air power and artillery these locations probably weren’t that safe. No where to hind. This location is like it’s frozen in time. Hopefully as you said, it will remain this way for many years to come.
Thanks for being here Anthony :)
That looks like quite an interesting spot. When you're metal detecting do you ever check along the bottom of the trenches themselves? With all the running back and forth that the soldiers would have done in those trenches it seems likely that they would have dropped and lost things along those narrow paths. Thanks to you and EE for your efforts and for posting.
Yes pieces are often n the bottom but then again often on the top as that is where they stacked things to be ready it seems. Thanks and greetings from us.
Such an amazing view and such a amazing position nice to see you back eagle eyes I hope that you're taking care of your arm you brought us the one special sensation thanks guys you guys take care learn from your daddy go eyes proud to be German
EE is fully mended after his accident and so glad for that. Thanks Kenneth and greetings from us.
OMG they were like little Moles digging the trenches and gun pits! Need to get the metal detector going up there MUCH to find! MG's rifles etc.
So true , tons of stuff must be up there :) Thanks Scopex.
Thanks!
Your kindness is appreciated my friend and we send a greeting your way :)
After watching the latest episode I thought that you might need a little extra gas in the tank!
Might pay to grab a few tether lines to attach to your equipment . We use them at work when working at heights , sometimes a bit awkward but well worth having rather then loosing expensive equipment
Well not a bad idea at all. Thanks Dirk.
HH, as you describe your surroundings, you often say something like, "Imagine, Wilhelm, Hans, and Reinhardt ..." You tend to use those three names the most. Is that trio of names people significant in your life whom you choose to remember on your expeditions? There is "ped" in expedition, how many pairs of hiking boots do you destroy in a year?
Actually these names have a meaning regarding a book i have read so in a way yes. around 2-3 pairs will be destroyed every year i think. Thanks Paul :)
First Thank you for all your hard work and hope the time spent with your kids is way more special then the information you get and share with us and lost equipment.
That big hook I bet it was some kind of tram system as to even just get the amount of concrete you showed us would have been a huge feat with out something.
Thanks again
Appreciate your kind words and greetings from us :)
Awesome job y'all Thanks for all y'all do. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you Fred :)
Awesome find. Thanks for your work
Thanks my friend :)
Awesome show thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
It would also be very interesting if you could locate and show us American positions where they dug in and fought the Germans. Great videos!
Thanks for watching.
I would asume that you were either in the Ardennes or the Huertgenwald Forrest,have you?
WE have been at many locations my friend Thanks for watching :)
What an amazing, location. So cool to be able to imagime the German soldiers a,chive all the way up the hill. Such a powerful stronghold. Thank you EE and HH for being prepared to trek all the way up the steep jillsode so that we could see this unusual setting!
I Agree such a interesting location that is and thanks for being here Beverley.
Looks like room for a Battalion.
Thanks for watching.
Very cool location!!! As always!!!
Appreciated and more to come :)
i like to see you do some metal detecting up there
Could be in the future. Thanks for watching.
I wouldn't want to be one of the Allied soldier tasked with taking that hill. A fortified hill full of MG-34's, and 42's makes for a bad day just getting to the foot of the hill, much less getting up it. Since it's untouched I would imagine there's a metal detecting video coming up on this location. If so it should prove to be quite productive. It's looking as though your road trip is exceeding your expectations.
Yes so true and Jeff must have been a tough place to take over. Road trip was EPIC ands o much more to come :)
The young Beech trees will be the ones who conquer. Was there an escape route?
i think there were a trench leading down from there yes. Thanks.
Tie up the flashlights like a lanyard, never lose another again.
Thanks for watching.
Great video as always...
Thanks again!
Good afternoon from Syracuse NY USA brother and your family
Morning!
Did you find the tunnels in the end or was the terrain too difficult?
We didnt find them but will have another look later. Thanks.
Top class as always.
Thanks again!
TIME FOR SOME MOUNTAIN CLIMBING GEAR NOW , BUT A REALLY COOL LOCATION 🤘
could actually need that there as there are some features we just couldnt get to. Great place to explore and glad we could share it with you my friend :)
beautyful place upthere
It really is!
Beautiful video and location! Did you find anything?
We found tons and thanks for watching.
Hi HH
Was Wondering was it liberated by the allies
Or bypassed not sure if it was bombed as the trenches are in such good condition
Cheers
I actually think that the Allies never knew of this location. Just my thoughts but then again they could have but never took interest in it. Thanks Martin.
Hi historyhunter and egale eyes .why not go back to where u dropped your camera in the water use your rov to see if you can find it and get back then you could get the camera repaired
Well who knows my friend :) Thanks.
Eagle eyes is the greatest!!
Will let him know what you said my friend :) Thanks.
@@WW2HistoryHunter ich thank you
Nice climb! Better get Eagle Eyes an Edelweiss!😎
That's the plan!
awesome place and video. ty HH & EE
Thanks 👍
The German people are really motivated to be able to occupy that steep mountain top. I bet there are several more mountain top positions that are near there. If they would go through all that for one firing position you know there are more. It just makes sense. Nice video Sir. EE is such a wonderful young man. He isn't a kid anymore. It's been fun watching grow from a little kid always putting his hands in the shot to finding some of the greatest finds on your channel. Soon he will be driving and going out on dates. I wish I still had my Canon D80 I would send it to you but the ex-wife took it. She doesn't even know how to use it. Divorces what can you do other then be happy it's over.
What ever happened to Viking Restoration? I loved to watch those videos. I haven't room to talk I haven't made a video in a few years. Well you and EE and BBG have a great day. I wish I could send EE something for Christmas. I think everyone should send him a gift to show him the live he shows us. Sorry my ex took my will to live.🤣 Just kidding I'm going to bounce back bigger and better just hopefully not longer. Happy History Hunting 😁
Yes there are and we will share more later from the area. Well EE is just VERY TALL For his age my friend and it will be many year before driving and dates :) VR will not be continued for a while as i struggle to have enough time for it all but who knows what the future can be. YOU my friend will not sag or cry YOU will smile at life and kick a... :) Thanks for being here :)
Beautiful, well done my friend, it's so cool seeing your son having fun, glad to see nothing was sprayed with graffiti. May I ask you for 2 snips of barbed wire please, about a foot long, nothing major. Just when you get time to get around to it.
Ye such a great place this is and loving it. Watch the supporter video coming soon William , have something for you :)
@@WW2HistoryHunter Thank you so much HH, you're the best.
I want you to go to that other place again to see if the electricity is still on!
We will see later and thanks.
We'll leave the light on for ya! ;)
I think it is fair to say they would pay locals more in countries that allied with the germans rather than those that resisted.
So true and thanks Fan for being here.
@@WW2HistoryHunter been following for 3 years maybe 4? amazing seeing wee EE develop his interest and engage with you. x
Interesting,
Thanks for watching.
