    Hello HH & EE, Filling it with sand was a quick way to make the bunkers inaccessible.

    i can understand why some of these old bunkers and gun positions have been buried, WWII was so horrific in so many ways, people want to forget. but we should never forget or doomed to repeat history...

    EE living up to his name once again. Very well spotted young man. What a wonderful site, with so much undisturbed, and very little spray paint. That airfield seems to have been important to the German war machine as it is very well defended. I wonder if we will be lucky and get episode 3 from here? Thank you both for sharing with us. Stay safe and well my friends

    • @WW2HistoryHunter
      @WW2HistoryHunter  Рік тому +3

      Yes this was a very important place for them and we loved to find these positions. There are even more that are fully buried and we could not find them. Thanks form us and greetings.

  • @three-phase562

    Must have been quite an installation with all the trees cleared to form an operational airfield. Doesn't look like the place is visited that often, I guess the bunkers are quite easy to miss amongst all of the trees. Great video again HH and EE.

    • @WW2HistoryHunter
      @WW2HistoryHunter  Рік тому +3

      It actually looked nothing much during the days and that is what i think the Germans liked about it. Just a couple of fields where they could have their aircraft and hide away :) Great explore and thanks for your great support :)

    • @WW2HistoryHunter

    Everytime I watch you go into one of these elaborate bunkers, I think to myself ,"How did the Germans move so much concrete into these remote locations! Concrete requires a mixer and the sheer size of some of these dug outs meant they needed quite a large amount of equipment to do this including the machinery r man power to dig out such a large structure!

    • @WW2HistoryHunter

  • @northernskys
    @northernskys Рік тому +5

    Love it when EE lives up to his name. Most of us would struggle to find those Tobruks in that forest but he just has "the eye" for it. Most of those bunkers have been buried really well, so finding them all would definitely be a challenge. I think for those we have seen, we have to thank Mother Nature's rains, over the last 70 plus years, for washing the soils into them, and revealing the entrances. I am glad that they were buried, rather than blown up, as it preserved them for our HH Team to find, and to share with us, and has also saved the for future "HH Teams" to ponder on. As always, thank you both for all you efforts to bring these amazing places to us. Stay Safe!

    • @WW2HistoryHunter
      @WW2HistoryHunter  Рік тому +1

      Yes EE do have a special sense for this and he really do find stuff that i cant even see and very glad for that. Agree , better that they are buried then removed or blown up as they can then always be refound and studied. Thanks and greetings from us.

    Thanks. Here is a tiny bit towards fuel. The underground ammo storage bunker you found EE was very interesting. I wonder too how come they didn't build a 3rd room HH. The sand bit mystifies me a bit, as if they wanted to totally forget about the buildings, they would fill them in right to the top I would think. I can only imaagine the amount of steps you two put in, during your excurions. Hard work indeed. Yes, some might forget that most of the German soldiers were like any other human being with dreams, families, loved ones, felt pain, and fear. We must never judge soldiers on any side of a war as either all evil or all good. Life/human beings are not that simplistic. You discovering the 58C Tobruk Turret was an incredible and unexpected find. Also, found that historical site very interesting and looking forward to P2. Thank you HH and EE. Stay safe and keep smiling.

    Another fascinating defense position! The number of machine gun tobruks is a definite show of force to whomever decided to storm these positions. Without the forest you could see for miles in all directions and anyone trying to sneak in would be cut to pieces.
    Yes we need to be remined that they were more than just soldiers. They were human beings. There were atrocities done by all sides not just by the Germans. History likes to leave things out in their teachings.
    Until part 3 take care and stay safe. 💖💯

    Nice place, great defenses. It doesn't look it now, but it would have been wide open, great for viewing. That so many of the MG positions are still there even though filled up, is remarkable. Well done my friend, as always EE is talking to the ground dwellers to find the positions. This would be interesting to map out and compare to other large locations. Another well done video my friend. The 2 of you stay safe and well out there.

    So happy to see these defense positions before they disappear into the landscape. A few more years of vegetation growth and most of them will be gone. It was unusual to see the bunker with the two rooms separated by a large wall. Wonder if it was a protective measure to protect one side if the other side exploded? So nice that Eagle Eyes used his super powers to find the machine gun position you didn’t know was there. No telling what is out there that you may have walked past. Am really enjoying this massive road trip.

    • @WW2HistoryHunter
      @WW2HistoryHunter  Рік тому +1

The reason I ask is that a barrack foundation would be a great place to metal detect as the barrack had a wooden floor, coins etc would have easily been lost.
