    Found you site by accident, I love war history and videos of actual battles. Watched right up to the Afghanistan war, have two boys ( now in England) that fought over there that I cared for at my little school here in Cape Town so that was a nerve racking time. I was looking at bunkers that have been found and came across your site. LOVE IT. It is very exciting to be with you as you dig up or fish out the items. The trenches that you walk by are kind of sad in a way, to think there were young soldiers in them at one time scared to death. So wish I could be in an area like that to experience a find. Hope to watch many more videos.

    I have enjoyed discovering your WW2 adventures. My father fought in WW2, I believe Battle of the Bulge, and he was one of only a few who survived. The only story he told me was of being in a foxhole with his best friend-got a strange feeling, and scrambled out just before the foxhole and his friend were blown up. As you can tell, many American men did the job, then locked it away and did not discuss it. I so wish i had asked about his stories before he passed. Thanks for the look in the past ! Arkansas, USA

    The Sturmgewehr 44 is the worlds very first assault rifle. Developed against Hitler's wishes it was at first designated a Machine Pistol to mask it. Para dropped to a large German unit that was surrounded and out numbered on the Eastern front, it's rapid fire power enabled them to breakout of the caldron and rejoin the German front line. It came to Hitler's attention when he asked an Eastern front commander if there was anything he wanted. The officer immediately asked for more of the "new" marvelous automatic rifles. It was Hitler who gave it the name "Sturmgewehr". It was the basis for Mikhail Kalashnikov's design for what was to become the AK 47. The two weapons side-by-side are very similar.

    If there's a Luftwaffe airfield close by,those are probably j.a.t.o. rockets for assisting large bombers to take off from short runways. Considering the Luftwaffe had to keep moving after Europe was invaded,maybe they were forced to use a smaller airfield than they initially wanted for the bigger planes. Now that memory serves me it can also be a launch site for V1 buzz bombs that used jatos to get airborne and fell off after the main rocket took over. I remember film of them just falling off after they got the v1 off the launching ramp,they had no attachment points to the vessel,that to me appears why there's no mounting hardware on the rockets. Using the camera before casting out is uber helpful I imagine. Good luck my friend and please take care around the winter freezing waters!!!!!

    The rockets that you found are interesting. I have never considered the multitude of aircraft systems designed to help aircraft aloft. I am wondering if the canisters that you found were a less expensive system. Just making a guess. I would think the tanks were a solid fuel type that could be reused. Very interesting. I am looking forward to hearing of your research into the RATO (Rocket Assisted Take Off) system. I look forward to you productions. I feel as if I am with you as you make your "Madana Moments."

      JATO a small tar based rocket assist motor used to help lift air craft or as boosters for rockets.

    I'm sure you probably have figured out what those rockets are by now, but in case you have not gotten any more info on them, I may be able to shed some light on them. Those are called JATO rockets, it stands for Jet Assisted Take Off rockets. They are a solid fuel rocket used to launch small aircraft from a short runway, and the V1 buzz bomb. The metal tubes you found could be part of the rocket cradle that is dropped from the aircraft after takeoff. Looking at your map of the gun positions helps explain what the purpose of that location was. Having two flack guns located so close together and finding the rockets down range from them suggest it was a V1 launch site or a short runway for fighter planes. Quick question are the ponds located east of the gun placements? If so this is more likely a V1 launch site. If any of this is true you have made a truly awesome find.

    It might be from the Bachem BA 349 Natter. Maybe. Or less then likely option, its an earlier version of a Nebelwerfer rocket. I'm assuming you'd know more about this then I do though! Thank you for the awesome videos, keep up the good work.

      I agree that it does look like a natter booster motor but it seems a little small for that. I've seen a real natter in person and I think a booster for that would need to be twice as big. There could be another explanation in the form of a antiaircraft missilery. These were not very successful and may even been wire guided. I'll dig though my photos to see what I can find.
      Kermit Weeks has a natter in a back area of one of his hangers in Florida. I almost filled my pants when I spotted it from a hanger ground floor area. They were kind enough to let me work my way up to see it up close. These were to be flown from a launch tower and guided by a onboard pilot. After firing twenty four rockets the pilot would bail out and the natter would fall to earth on its own chute, to be repaired and reused. The one I saw was very crude. It also didn't have the two or four booster motors attached. It think it had four booster motors but maybe only two. The main engine was a liquid fuel motor.

    WOW, yes I think the title of "Rocket Man" for you in this case is vey fitting. Very hard to believe that you found not 1, not 2, but 3 rocket boosters/rocket thingys at that point and they were were in pretty good shape minus the dent in one. What a cache of goodies you did find. It seems that the German barbed wire/pigtails can be found on many WW2 historical sites. Wonder what the heavy duty cables were for? And what is that terrible metal contraption? Too bad the one iron 20 mm Flak cartridge crumbled. The STG40 & STG44 Sturmgewehr cartridges were quite the finds. A good thing you didn't fall in the pond. Definitely wouldn't be a pleasant outcome. Hope you had something yummy to consume after as you sure deserved it. Thanks HH, thoroughy enjoyed it.

    Still thinking. I believe the V-1 used something similar to assist the launch of the rocket. They were discarded very shortly after launch. Could your "Artillary" site be a V-1 sight with anti aircraft unit protection?
