- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- We are back visiting Ouvrage Hackenberg, the first and largest of the forts of the Maginot line. The history of the fort as well as that of Maginot himself. Also of course we will tour the fortress and its enormous hallways and talk about its battle history and combat scars and cover details about its construction and capacity in far more details. How did the battle unfold and by whom. what happened when the magazine blew up and much more
It is truly an amazing WW2 fort, carved into the rock and was designed to hold 1100 soldiers and officers. And the trains are still running. We will talk more about the construction and layout.

The ingenuity that went into the construction of these forts is mind blowing .Incredible that the generators railway and most impressive of all the gun cupolas are still functioning. All thanks to the outstanding work of the conservatores. Once again thank you Tino for bringing history alive. 👍
Enfin,un report complet sur le hakenberg,extérieurs,intérieurs,bravo Tino,pour aller au fond de tes recherches.d,autres forts Maginot t,attendent pour leur rendre hommage.merci encore pour ton travail remarquable.Tchuss, pierro.
Maginot forts are really cool. Well worth a visit.
I've been restoring cars and trucks hearing that just fire right up makes me wonder how many engines built today are going to run like that
What an awesome bunker
Fascinating the condition of this fortress. It great to see it being restored. Thanks
Considering its age this truly was an engineering marvel, thanks for the tour Tino.
Many thanks Tino, what a magnificent fort, and its labyrinth of tunnels.
Absolutely brilliant !!!!!!!! Thank you Tino......
The preservation of history is amazing. We all wish the same could have been done on both sides of this war.
I visited the place with my brother, summer 2002. Met a former gunner of the Marine Nationale, veteran of the Suez Expedition. And another, much older man who probably was a 2nd WW veteran. Mister Varoqui, bless you.
Outstanding video and history.Watching an operable turrent rotate was something i though i would ever see.Thanls Tino.
Thank you Tino, I'm at loss for words, what a cool fort with so much history.
Thanks for the tour, its on my list!
Thank you Tino! This is another excellent documentation.
Awesome video of French military history thanks Tino for sharing this with us
Question for you Tino: Were the yards outside the fort spiked, like we saw in many of the WW1 forts? I'm sure they aren't now, but when constructed.
Thank you for taking us through this city that was mostly underground. So very impressive how these systems were constructed. Most of the education that I remember about the Maginot line had said the guns only faced in one general direction. Clearly not the case here and in some other areas. Wonderful to see the working systems of the fort, everything seems in such good condition generally. Cheers to the docents there and your guide for doing such an awesome job.
Excellent work, as usual!
i really don't think there is a lot to say about this video, except for, i can see why Tino gets so excited about these incredible underground forts - and to have one with an operating train, generators that not only run, but power the original electricity system - there is a hell of a lot going on - the transformation between the restored working lifts and guns to the block that had the proverbial knocked out of it by Patton is something else - top marks on an amazing museum and a huge shout out to Quentin for his very detailed walk through - definitely a bucket list location
cheers Tino for sharing, keep up the great work
Absolutely fantastic video,thank you Tino
This was awesome Tino you make a very good tour guide, being a Marine Engineer, Steam & Motor & Mechanic I got quite the rush when you started up that Motor/Generator @ 41:00ish it reminded me of the WWII Ships & Floating Plants I was an Engineer on with them still using the old Telegraph control systems at CFB Esquimalt in the 80s & 90s. These were still working Vessels and still part of the fleet. I'm still old school and would take anything old over this new crap any day so Thank You very much for the Tour. Cheers my friend
Thank you for bthe history lesson Tino
Your guide Tino was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and fantastic, and provided a great tour of the fort, what's more his English was super, better than my French! or yours I suspect!.
Wow that was amassing Tino, loved it all.
Been there.. Amazing construction..
Shout Out to Paul great guide ❤
Ho
Very well done, again.
Thanks, guys.
Fascinating. Thank you Tino! As always, a unique, educational, & interesting documentation of WW2 history. You are the best ... I would love to be a history student of yours 👍
Wow after all these years things still work
Great guide very good information delivery.
Interesting job! You are a great documentarian!!!👋👋👋
Great stuff again Tino thanx. Sorry I missed the premier abut I am working a lot on the bike shed upgrade... getting it ready for insulation, new paneling and then a little heater so I can actually work on the bikes in Winter as well. Darn these fingers, they won't work in winter and trying to use spanners wearing gloves never works
Looks like place I love to visit
Excellent 👍
Really love this one.
Wow this was one excellent video 👍thank you!
Fascinating.
Great docu ❤
34:33 That would have been my domain... The kitchens... great stuff...
Thank you for these videos. Been on a three day binge and still watching! Im very interested in this war, my parents were in it.❤
Awesome as always Tino, Which fort is shown 13 min an 9 seconds into the video, Looks fearsome
You are secretly trying to find the best-preserved forts to use as locations for future movies, this one and the last one you went to albeit that one had no electricity would be awesome locations for something.
Don't think I'm not keeping that in the back of my mind
Brilliant film .Just a shame my Dad is not around to see it .
I'm sorry for your loss brother live well with his memory
The suburb I live in is called heckenberg
Yo,
Take a look into what FEMA's - former Planning Specialist for Civil Defense Programs - Boyce Wayne Blanchard stated about the "Maginot Line", while referencing "civil defense."
