    I think the first mini sub was built in America during the civil war. Also the Japanese used mini subs. It must be a huge effort to serve in one. Dangerous for sure. Thank you freinds. 😊

    Yes, EE is full of Neverending energy. Can't help but feel his enthusiasm. Stop that HH, you are NOT a grumpy old slow dad. You have lost loads of weight and in great shape now. The Regelbau 621 was still in pretty good shape. Maybe someone will restore the bunker oven 🤞. The German mini Biber sub was rare to see, I would think. Why would someone dump their trash in it!!!! Wouldn't it be something to see the original 12 cm Belgium gun still there. Will look for P3. Stay safe. Thanks HH & EE. ❤❤

I noticed something "grey" to the left of the sub (12:26), a torpedo??? Yup, I did enjoy this and look forward to #3. Take care

  • @ralphhathaway-coley5460

    My suspicion is that after the war the old bunker ovens would have been taken by the locals to use in their own houses/workshops rather than taken by scrappers or souvenir hunters.

    • @WW2HistoryHunter

    After watching some documentaries about WW2 submarines, they weren’t as glamorous as they were depicted in the movies. They were smelly and cramped. I can’t imagine what these mini submarines would have been like. I wonder if the sailors on the mini submarines got the same treatment as their counterparts of the larger submarines? I enjoy seeing items still in the bunkers even if they are not complete. I agree the bunker ovens need to be kept in better shape as well as the air pumps. Nice location and looking forward to part three.

    • @WW2HistoryHunter
      @WW2HistoryHunter  5 місяців тому +1

      Indeed they were and being inside a sub is not the best at all for your body ands soul but it builds men they say :) Thanks Anthony.

    This was an amazing explore! The mini sub looks like a shark. I'd hate to be the one inside. The bunker was nice and clean and I was amazed that the filter and bunker oven were still there. That was one big gun position. I can't wait to see part 3. Take care and stay safe. 💖💯

Thanks for taking us along. Stay safe and well my friends

    Really liked the intro. Thank you for taking us inside the Regelbau 621 bunker. I also hope that someone will take care of the bunker oven, so that you can take your grandkids to experience a part of WW2 history. The German Midget Biber sub was in really good shape. Really pleased to see that someone has restored it and kept it up. Yes, I would think that it would be scary for the German sub operator. I would imagine that a pack of mini German Bibers would do some heavy duty damage for sure. Looking forwrd to the underwater drone explore off that coast. Thank you for the pic of a Belgium 12 cm gun. Thank you HH & EE. Looking forward to part 3. You are all set up with your highly efficient flashlights. Take care and keep smiling.💕

    Looks like it's about the size of the Confederate submarine Hunley, which was more dangerous to the crew manning it than it was to the Union navy.
    I think the British were the only ones to accomplish anything with mini subs, attacking the Tirpitz. For the Japanese at Pearl Harbor, it was a futile effort.

    • @WW2HistoryHunter
      @WW2HistoryHunter  5 місяців тому

  • @northernskys
    @northernskys 5 місяців тому +1

    What a great location. Love the fact that the bunker was pretty clean, but, yes, that bunker oven needs to be somewhere else, rather than just sitting there waiting for someone to "borrow' it. So cool to see the "Biber" there, where she was operating. They were never truly successful, being very hard to handle, very, very, crudely built. Many of their pilots suffered from Carbon Monoxide poisoning, from the petrol engine, either being forced to abandon ship, or succumbing to the fumes. Surprisingly though, despite the rush to scrap everything at the end of the war, there are still around 20 "Bibers" still in existence, one has even been restored to working condition at the Royal Navy Submarine Museum, at Gosport. It's a shame to see that this one, has started to be turned into a rubbish bin, by other visitors. Looking forward to seeing what amazing things you guys found underground int he next video, and, the ROV footage of the sunken Biber. Cheers to you both!

    • @WW2HistoryHunter
      @WW2HistoryHunter  5 місяців тому +1
