I was wondering. Aren't you afraid of coming across a live shell/grenade while digging? (Not just from ww2 but from ww1 aswell) Have you ever done so in the past? What precations can you take and how can you determine if it's safe to handle or not?
also are you going to cheack out the bunkers in jersey i seen them on a video and it wouldnt be the same without your insight and of coarse your famous Holy Madonna yes i even started saying it and my kids.
Phenomenal to see original woodwork inside a WW2 bunker, this usually never survives. Also the Cannon turret was completely untouched.... Incredible !!! ....
This is just beyond amazing. You know what my friend, I'm quite busy does days and traveling the world but every time I get a notify about your adventures it gives me a smile and can't wait to see it. You are as a person, dad, parent and even in a teachtable way gold. The way you teach not only your children but even us to respect history and his happenings is priceless. What you do and share is amazing. Thank you

If WWII was won by the germans perhaps it would have been the last war - who knows, but germany was not an aberration: the Reich was _well funded by american bankers_ to take out Russia, they failed but the wars didn't stop, they just went cold in Europe for a while.
@@G-ra-ha-m Very true Graham and I agree 100% Most people are ignorant of what you post... Just like Sadam Hussain was to counterbalance the Republic of Iran. Saddam was our buddy until he went "rogue" selling "our" oil on the open market making deals with the French (Total Oil) and so we took him out and now look at the mess. No, we don't learn!
Those graduated markings are actually Mil-radians or MILs and are used for artillery and other things as they are much finer that degress, as there are 6283 Mils in a circle as opposed to the 360 degrees. Thank you for as always thank you for keeping history alive!
I saw that. Do you know what the other scales above and below the mil ring may have been for? It looks like the rings may have turned independently from each other and one time.
Chris that was a Vernier scale for smaller divisions on John's Mil -radians scale . John is correct about the Mil-radian , good spot ! Back when I was In Tool + Die we used Dial Calipers Which did the same thing as Vernier Calipers . Every body called calipers Verniers whether they were dial or not . It is not exactly the same as a slide rule but you get the picture ?
AMAZING!!!! Wow.. what a GREAT thing to see.. a bunker that's still in it's original condition! Thank you for showing this beautiful piece of history! Thanks to this video, i now know what i once found! I found an unknown object some years ago, and the area here i found it, is full of German bunkers. It was made from aluminum, and had nice paint on it, and... now i know what it is! There was something on it.. VW 1,2b! So it's an exploded ventilation filter! Thanks for sharing, good luck with the next adventure! Gr Nick
That has absolutely nothing to do with this amazing German structure. The things that happened in the past are awful.. but you have to know that not all Germans were Nazi's.. The Germans were way ahead of their time, and it's interesting to see.. A lot of people who think about the second world war, only think about the holocaust, but a lot of Germans didn't know about it.. or were brainwashed. This video shows one of the ( have to say it again ) beautiful structures they made. If you like to explore something like this, it doesn't mean you like what they did in the past. And again.. not all of them were monsters.. most of them didn't had a choice. Between 300.000 / 500.000 people died in the colosseum ( rome ) So we need to demolish that also? We can see a very interesting place, that once was full of German army man doing their work.. and it's amazing that something like this is still intact. There comes a time ( If the world still exists ) that this will also be really old.. and people want to see how a German WWII structure looks like in real life. We can't learn from the past, if there is nothing to see anymore... Gr Nick
john pietros Those who do not study and learn from the past, are doomed to repeat it. The engineering aspect of these bunkers is an art. It is something to be appreciated. These structures could provide clues to building stronger, safer structures in hurricane prone areas alone.
Have been so busy lately that I haven't had any time to watch videos on UA-cam. Decided I was going to relax and watch some before bed. Glad I choose this one. You never disappoint! Keep up the great work!
I'd imagine that the hatch is on the lower part of the door in case of fire. In a fire, the smoke tends to be above the ground, lower down is where the air tends to be.
At 18:29 that is a right hand, outswing door, and it is mounted upside down, because it's all they had at the time, and if it was correctly mounted, it would be in the way of passage, that's why it was mounted upside down.
Not only it was the only thing they had at the moment, it was the only way doors for active duty bunkers were constructed. In a operational bunker all doors always turned the same way. If it was not possible to mount the door the right way they hung it upside down. So a soldier could see the door wasn't standard.
Wow! That bunker is in better condition than easily 95% of the ones that you have explored. Just incredible! That bunker oven was in unbelievably good shape. I really hope that you got it out of there and got it to someone who could restore it, rather than leaving it there to rot. You just never see those and that one was in such wonderful shape. Thanks so much for sharing this adventure with us. I love when you have your kids along with you. As a former Navy man who always has his kids along with him, I feel a kindred spirit with you, my friend. Please keep the outstanding videos coming and God bless you and your family.
So glad you stumbled upon that site! Was quite fantastic that the turret was still intact along with some of the woodwork. Hope you were able to get someone to come and get that oven so that it could be restored and put on display.
Hi, new subscriber here from North Carolina, U.S. I love your videos and have recommended your channel to everyone I know. Keep up the good work and a very big thumbs up!
Day by day I get more attached to your channel. I wish I could have a bond with my dad like your son does with you. Also, thank you for notifying people about that bunker oven.
Wow really nice find your right about that stove heater needs to be saved the other door to it looked like it's in the dirt ,and ventilation section still there! maybe the door on the bottom of the door was for amunition resupply ?!, Incredible the wood on the wall still there thanks pretty cool except the creepy spider keep up the great work!!
AMAZING... !!! GREAT Clip again. Never ever see Clips like that...youre the BEST about WW2 Lost Places !!!!!! Thanx and Greets from GERMANY to you and youre Son.
Wow another great location my friend enjoy very much these great locations especially bunkers great you and your daughter thank you looking forward to much more
This channel is amazing. I'm excited. Thank you for the first-class documentation of the History. On which the peoples of Europe never have to endure such a frightful fratricidal war.
In my personal opinion, I think that the bunker should be completely documented with professional equipment, and then it should be relocated to a museum and preserved, this kind of history is very important to the world and is very rare and I do not think it would last much longer to the elements. Great video and amazing history found!!
Thanks for visiting these historic sites as they are fascinating. This bunker was very pristine and was great to see it with some of the original wood interior cladding. Finding the heating stove was awesome and hopefully it will end up in a museum for future generations to see. Take care!
So there are sealed bunkers that were never cleared out? You know that means all the equipment would also be still inside those bunkers, everything. If you don't mind the skeletons that is.
WW2HistoryHunter I really enjoy your videos I watch them all and you put so much effort into your content... I hesitate before clicking on videos with titles like this though because I'm worried it is just click bait and I'm gonna waste my time. (Of course that's never the case with your videos) but I'm thinking if you mention what amazing things are in the videos in the title you may get more new viewers hopefully. Thanks for all the great entertainment 👌🏻
Another great video! It sure is nice to see no vandalism. I never will have a problem with someone coming in, looking around and not touching anything. Nicely done. Greetings from Arizona.
Oh man....this is one of the best bunkers in this kind of condition! Simply amazing !!! The writings on the walls look like they´re made 2 years ago! And even the steel and metal parts are in such a good condition....wow.
Wow... that turret was incredible. Such a unique point of view to see it this way. Thank you so much for allowing us to see this. I hope that oven was recovered too.
WWII history is fascinating and it is wonderful that you share your finds around the world. You really bring to life the what, when, where and how and why.
Wow! Really great video. Your channel has greatly increased my understanding of WWII documentaries. I've always been drawn to learning more about it, probably because my father was a pilot in the army during that time period. But because of your channel, old videos and documentaries seem so much more realistic to me. They are no longer just old black and white films. Thanks for the work you do.
For a total Atlantikwall freak like myself, this one is pure concrete porn lol! You're right, the original wall lining is seriously rare and that turret is just a thing of beauty. Just need to get rid of that horrible spider. I went in a bunker at Osteck just outside Cherbourg a few years ago and it was full of those bloody things. They can give u a bite so i did a hasty retreat lol! Keep the videos coming!
Thanks for all your hard work, young Man. Glad to see some of the younger generation are interested in past history. Once it is gone, it will be gone for ever! Your family should be real proud of you, and I am glad you are taking your son along to learn of his heritage...
That’s why I hate that there’s an entire ocean separating me from Europe. I see these videos of people metal detecting finding all these cool old artifacts that I would love to add to my collection and exploring these old places like you. I could travel to detect but doubt I would be able to bring anything back on an airliner! Great videos, even better that you get to share these experiences with your son. Raising him right!
Fascinating. The detailing.. the infrastructure. Gripping stuff. And they oven! WOW!! I really hope that is shifted quickly to somewhere it can be appreciated by others. Keep up the great work WW2HistoryHunter 👏👌✌♥🤘
You might find the other door to the stove if you metal detect around there ! I'm glad that you are going to try and save it and put it in a museum ! Thank you for another great adventure and history lesson !
Awesome music as per usual. 1943 Panzer dome Dreischartenturm was very interesting to see, as you indicated they are quite rare. Was surprised to see the degree gauge still very legible and the hatch and other parts still in working order. Also, was great to see the huge bunker with the mass inhalation shafts, original electrical kabel, blast doors, ventilation filters, and wooden interior still intact. That most have been something to see in it's day. And can't forget the bunker oven. I hope that you were able to contact the proper authorities to salvage it. Would be a valuable item for a WW2 History museum. I think that huge juicy spider wanted to join you & EE on your expedition. That was extremely interesting. Thank you so much EE & HH for making that one time stop for us. 😊
This is the reason why you go out exploring.... Amazing that there is still so much intact... It is even more surprising to see it has never been used as a tourist attraction... I bet people would like to see how it is living in a bunker in WW2
The two scales there are in the turret are for direction finding. They are measured in mils (milradians) versus degrees, and there was a fixed point somewhere in there to reference from. There are 6400 mils in a circle (NATO standard). Variants of the number of mils was common in WWII depending upon the nation/Army, and persisted in some countries, with the Soviets coming to the party late in the war. And....there are still variations lol. Something in there had to figure elevation as well. I know this is an older video, but it is one of my favorites so far!
Absolutely fantastic content, you have earned yourself a new subscriber, no clickbait, and your channel name is exactly what you do and thank you for this
c'est absolument incroyable! merci de nous faire partager ces moments forts. toujours de belles vidéos et des lieux vraiment dingue! merci pour tout ça
Mind-boggling no kids found that ever. I as a kid if that was my area I would of played in there forever. Great find and hope they save it for future generations. Your channel is great . Thanks for the history preserved. Enjoy your day friend .
Please keep making these great videos. Lots of interesting things to see. I like learning WWII history on your channel. Also make another magnet fishing.
What a good man, taking his son to see history that needs to be seen. It must be one great adventure and i know your son must love it and so should the day you pass he'll remember all the cool adventures you had, you're a great father and a great man i love your content and i'm sure your son loves making it with you, i've been into world war 2 history since i was 3 years old and have always dreamed of doing what you do.
That bunker appears to be a Type 632 design and I believe that turret is a Sechsschartentürme. The gunner could quickly withdraw his MG34 from one hole and push it along a rail to another.The MG 34 mounts are equipped with armor fittings that sealed the holes and telescopic sights. In addition, the turret had a periscope and a searchlight, all of which could be operated from the turret. Each turret operated two MG34 machine guns on rotating mounts.
The interior of the turret was brightly painted into 6 sectors (one for each loophole), and each sector was also numbered. One MG34's fire would be directed via the colours while the other MG34's fire would be directed via the numbers. This is how many Atlantic wall turrets operated.
Another awesome video my friend! Everything was well preserved considering the age. I really hope you were able to get that bunker oven into a museum. 💖
Wow ! The writing on the turret and other parts is perfectly clean and legible. This is amazing !! Plus the square head screws. In Canada we call them " Robertson " screws. I thought they weren't available until sometime in the 50s. Looks like I stand corrected. They're so much better than those star head ( Phillips ) screws. Thank you again for showing us these fantastic bunkers! I would absolutely love to go to Germany sometime in my life. My father was a tank driver for the allies in WW2. He was part of the group that liberated Holland. My dream was to one day follow the exact steps that they took from the coast of France, to Berlin itself. I am looking foward to you're next video. Thank you !
Such a fantastic location, it's truly amazing to see such an untouched bunker: No graffiti or other general vandalism. Thank you for sharing, and greetings from Maine, USA
Good god, i've seen similar in my Bunkering youth, the steel section had coloured sectors with ranking marks on it. I think it fronted gun emplacements as a ranging point.. Jersey is littered with various bunkers of all types and some are restored and open, others finds in the rough! I even went into an old unfinished tunnel that was filled with various "bits" from Horse gas masks (conical bakelite) to gun boxes, helmets and rust! piles and piles of rust....
Enjoyed the drone shots and intro music HH. The discovery of the 1943 Dreischartenturm Panzer Dome was a rare find indeed. EE was quite a bit smaller then. Good idea having him wear a helmut for safety. Did the bunker oven eventually end up in a WW2 history museum? Very interesting still seeing some of the original German writing on the bunker's walls. Very interesting site. Thank you for taking us there EE and HH.
Would you have expected that ?
I mean common sense no, but its your channel so yeah i expect spectacular content
I was wondering. Aren't you afraid of coming across a live shell/grenade while digging? (Not just from ww2 but from ww1 aswell) Have you ever done so in the past?
What precations can you take and how can you determine if it's safe to handle or not?
That bunker is in amazing condition for its age. Probably better condition than most people that same age! Great video again sir.
WW2HistoryHunter do you ever mark the locations for historical reference sites or dig sites,etc
also are you going to cheack out the bunkers in jersey i seen them on a video and it wouldnt be the same without your insight and of coarse your famous Holy Madonna yes i even started saying it and my kids.
Phenomenal to see original woodwork inside a WW2 bunker, this usually never survives. Also the Cannon turret was completely untouched.... Incredible !!! ....
yes my friend it was a great location. Thanks

wow , thanks for those kind Words my friend and take care out there in the big blue :)
I really think that these kind of places should be restored and use as mini museum
i totally agree but the problem is tha tmany of them are on private land. Thanks
Lest we forget our tragic. Past

@Michael Wolff Indeed.
I like how you named your channel. You are actually hunting for history to share, finding those things that the treasure hunters passed over.
you are right :) Thanks Ron
Wow, that is a really cool bunker, it is interesting to see parts that still move and that aren't completely frozen with rusr.
yes a great little location. Thanks for watching.
You should definitely rescue that bunker oven! It's too nice just to go to waste. And what a conversation starter for your next barbecue!
i agree :) Thanks
So. Did you rescue it?

Wow.. what a GREAT thing to see.. a bunker that's still in it's original condition!
Thank you for showing this beautiful piece of history!
Thanks to this video, i now know what i once found!
I found an unknown object some years ago, and the area here i found it, is full of German bunkers.
It was made from aluminum, and had nice paint on it, and... now i know what it is!
There was something on it.. VW 1,2b!
So it's an exploded ventilation filter!

Awesome place, I wonder how many places like that are still untouched and in that great of shape !
Awesome find brother !!
Thanks loads !
i know of quite a few to be honest :) Thanks Mike
I'd imagine that the hatch is on the lower part of the door in case of fire. In a fire, the smoke tends to be above the ground, lower down is where the air tends to be.
This is amazing, all that concrete and steel look almost new,priceless piece of history
great location indeed my friend. Thanksl
Of all the people I follow and listen to on UA-cam. You are by far the the one I look mostest forward 2
Absolutely Awesome channel.
how great to read and thanks for that.
At 18:29 that is a right hand, outswing door, and it is mounted upside down, because it's all they had at the time, and if it was correctly mounted, it would be in the way of passage, that's why it was mounted upside down.
could be it. Thanks Joe

The panzer dome is fantastic. Great seeing the degrees around it. Really magnificent bunker.
Totally agree and thanks Stephanie :)
Great rare views inside machine gun turret. Love the hardware on the gun ports. Beefy! Excellent video.
Thanks a lot Phillip
Makes you wonder if the walls could talk. Also how much machine gun fire that turret saw.
Wow so amazing! The history. thanks for sharing. Would love to see all these that you share in person. Thanks so much for sharing.
Indeed an interesting bunker.
it is not often that a bunker is in such a good condition.
i agree Oma , very rare to see that. Thanks for the great support my friend :)
Even the preserved bunkers you pay to enter are rarely that good.

This place is so great that we will go back in the future. Thanks my friend.
great location...( I loved those little boots at the beginning) LOL! you guys are an awesome team! good job!
Thanks again Nancy :)
Oh, Salomon shoes, best shoes there is.
Day by day I get more attached to your channel. I wish I could have a bond with my dad like your son does with you.
Also, thank you for notifying people about that bunker oven.
Thanks my friend and yes it is important to spend time together when one can. Thanks
Epic location! Thanks for sharing. Cheers and keep posting :)
cool my friend and thanks.
I love that you bring family on these adventures, these kids will have such great memories when their older!
i sure hope they will. Thank you Charlie
Wow really nice find your right about that stove heater needs to be saved the other door to it looked like it's in the dirt ,and ventilation section still there! maybe the door on the bottom of the door was for amunition resupply ?!, Incredible the wood on the wall still there thanks pretty cool except the creepy spider keep up the great work!!
M8 I know what you mean that stove was still in exceptional condition and could be put in a museum
Thanks for watching.

AMAZING... !!! GREAT Clip again. Never ever see Clips like that...youre the BEST about WW2 Lost Places !!!!!! Thanx and Greets from GERMANY to you and youre Son.
Thanks Skip
Absolutely incredible condition in that bunker! This should be a museum! Amazing! Thank you as always for sharing!
Thanks Mat
Great place , hope it doesn’t get trashed, can it be protected?
i hope the bunker will be saved. Thanks
I live in Italy and one of our only bunkers was trashed by graffiti, drugs, and alcohol. My dad and I would always go there
Wow another great location my friend enjoy very much these great locations especially bunkers great you and your daughter thank you looking forward to much more
Thanks Franz
If we forget the past, we are doomed to repeat it. I weep now for the future!

time should be preserved, museumed.

Thanks for visiting these historic sites as they are fascinating. This bunker was very pristine and was great to see it with some of the original wood interior cladding. Finding the heating stove was awesome and hopefully it will end up in a museum for future generations to see. Take care!
Done and thanks )
One day, you will find an 'occupied' bunker. There's bound to be one somewhere.
well i know of several :) Thanks
Donna, please! I meant corpses, not living solders.
So there are sealed bunkers that were never cleared out? You know that means all the equipment would also be still inside those bunkers, everything. If you don't mind the skeletons that is.
+Nick Breen Most bunkers were cleared out by the locals after the Germans left. Anything metal was salvaged for use elsewhere.

Thanks for watching.
Great video , I lived in Jersey Channel Islands for 47 years and Bunkers and Tunnels everywhere , yes it’s very interesting , thumbs up
History can be great my friend. Thanks
Nice work once again :)
Thanks Ivar
Oh man....this is one of the best bunkers in this kind of condition! Simply amazing !!! The writings on the walls look
like they´re made 2 years ago! And even the steel and metal parts are in such a good condition....wow.
Thanks for watching.
Fantastic find
Thanks Abby
Wow... that turret was incredible. Such a unique point of view to see it this way. Thank you so much for allowing us to see this. I hope that oven was recovered too.
Our pleasure Paul and greetings from us :)
11:01 is there a panzerfaust lying inside a emergency exit ?? please be careful
MrPablodanzig I very much doubt it
Please stop wideo and look closer it looks like Panzerfaust but only head without a pipe.
It does actually!
I always recognize this shape, after when i dig out one from my contry yard.
i got Your Message and can confrim that you were pretty Close to Your observation. Thanks
I do so much enjoy your chanel because I love WWII history. You make it come alive. Thank you for your time and effort.
Thanks for that.
Brilliant location! Hope you manage to find a museum that will collect the bunker oven!
well , let us just say it is saved :)
Nice one!
Another amazing video... love them :) Thanks so much !!
I wonder if this is for gunnery control center for other cannons?
no it was a defense postition on a important location.
WWII history is fascinating and it is wonderful that you share your finds around the world. You really bring to life the what, when, where and how and why.
Thank You Julie
I was wondering when the spiders would show up 😬
They are everywhere :) Thanks fo rwatching.

Fantastic stuff, mate! Thanks for sharing your finds! Make sure to find that stove a good home
i did :) Thanks
They knew how to build things that last through time because they were highly skilled.
Thanks for watching.
Parenting done right! Keep up the great work! My dad and I love your work!!!!
Thank You for the kind Words :)
My pleasure sir, and thank you for what you do :)
Thanks for all your hard work, young Man. Glad to see some of the younger generation are interested in past history. Once it is gone, it will be gone for ever! Your family should be real proud of you, and I am glad you are taking your son along to learn of his heritage...
Much appreciated
Been binging these videos, greetings from England 👍
Awesome! Thank you!
That’s why I hate that there’s an entire ocean separating me from Europe. I see these videos of people metal detecting finding all these cool old artifacts that I would love to add to my collection and exploring these old places like you. I could travel to detect but doubt I would be able to bring anything back on an airliner! Great videos, even better that you get to share these experiences with your son. Raising him right!
So much appreciate you kind Words and at least you can join us in the adventures through Our videos. Thank You
Great find with the wooden panels, really sheds light on how the bunker would've looked like during the war.
yes i agree , Nice to see. Thanks
Great, amazing, video again. Really loving the music you have been editing in, Fantastic job! Wish I could be with you.
Thank you for watching
Thank you for what you do... bringing the history of WW2 back to us after all these years.., I've been interested in WW2 since I was in school
Appreciated Scott
Amazing to see that in such an original condition! Great video! You son is getting so big! Good to hear his voice!
yes he is growing fast. Thanks my friend.
fantastic find mate and very untouched. Keep up the good work!
Will do and thanks.
THANKS FOR SHARING ANOTHER AWESOME DISCOVERY!
Our pleasure!
Fascinating. The detailing.. the infrastructure. Gripping stuff. And they oven! WOW!! I really hope that is shifted quickly to somewhere it can be appreciated by others. Keep up the great work WW2HistoryHunter 👏👌✌♥🤘
Appreciate you watching and commenting
I absolutely love this channel. Im so glad i ran across you guys. Its a pleasure to watch your work and i try not to miss a video. Great job!! 👍👍
Awesome! Thank you!
You might find the other door to the stove if you metal detect around there ! I'm glad that you are going to try and save it and put it in a museum ! Thank you for another great adventure and history lesson !
Appreciated my friend and Greetings Your way from us.
Awesome music as per usual. 1943 Panzer dome Dreischartenturm was very interesting to see, as you indicated they are quite rare. Was surprised to see the degree gauge still very legible and the hatch and other parts still in working order. Also, was great to see the huge bunker with the mass inhalation shafts, original electrical kabel, blast doors, ventilation filters, and wooden interior still intact. That most have been something to see in it's day. And can't forget the bunker oven. I hope that you were able to contact the proper authorities to salvage it. Would be a valuable item for a WW2 History museum. I think that huge juicy spider wanted to join you & EE on your expedition. That was extremely interesting. Thank you so much EE & HH for making that one time stop for us. 😊
This is a great place to visit and i loved it. Thanks Laura.
Thank you to sharing your passion for history to us great documentary.Greetigs from Italy Rody
Thanks and appreciate you watching.
These videos are history lessons we don’t get in school. Great video.
Good to read and thanks Stephanie
This is the reason why you go out exploring.... Amazing that there is still so much intact... It is even more surprising to see it has never been used as a tourist attraction... I bet people would like to see how it is living in a bunker in WW2
Thanks Rob for watching.
A great location ! The turret was very interesting to see again Heavy duty!Thank y’all ! 👍🏻👍🏻
I love this little place and glad we could share it with you Mark.
Very neat.i always enjoy while watching.☺️👍
Thank you so much 😀
You're welcome 😁
wow guys! it looks like it wasn't disturbed at all. wonderful find guys. thanks for allowing us to view it as well. keep finding great locations!!!!
GLad you liked it. Thanks
History is alive thanks to you. Keep up the good work
Thanks Aaron
The two scales there are in the turret are for direction finding. They are measured in mils (milradians) versus degrees, and there was a fixed point somewhere in there to reference from. There are 6400 mils in a circle (NATO standard). Variants of the number of mils was common in WWII depending upon the nation/Army, and persisted in some countries, with the Soviets coming to the party late in the war. And....there are still variations lol. Something in there had to figure elevation as well.
I know this is an older video, but it is one of my favorites so far!
So cool to read my friend and thank you for being here with us :)
great video history hunter! that bunker is in excellent condition! thanks for sharing with us! :)
Pete
All my pleasure and thanks
Absolutely fantastic content, you have earned yourself a new subscriber, no clickbait, and your channel name is exactly what you do and thank you for this
c'est absolument incroyable! merci de nous faire partager ces moments forts. toujours de belles vidéos et des lieux vraiment dingue! merci pour tout ça
Merci
Mind-boggling no kids found that ever. I as a kid if that was my area I would of played in there forever. Great find and hope they save it for future generations. Your channel is great . Thanks for the history preserved. Enjoy your day friend .
You and me both!
Please keep making these great videos. Lots of interesting things to see. I like learning WWII history on your channel. Also make another magnet fishing.
Will do my best. Thanks
What a good man, taking his son to see history that needs to be seen. It must be one great adventure and i know your son must love it and so should the day you pass he'll remember all the cool adventures you had, you're a great father and a great man i love your content and i'm sure your son loves making it with you, i've been into world war 2 history since i was 3 years old and have always dreamed of doing what you do.
Appreciate very much Your kind Words my friend and Greetings from us.
Archiving history whilst it’s it still there. Truly a Sterling effort I tip my hat to the both of you bravo 👍🏼🇬🇬
Thanks
Amazing location. Great to see all the equipment still in place and not much spray paint.
yes , no spray cans there. Thanks
That bunker appears to be a Type 632 design and I believe that turret is a Sechsschartentürme. The gunner could quickly withdraw his MG34 from one hole and push it along a rail to another.The MG 34 mounts are equipped with armor fittings that sealed the holes and telescopic sights. In addition, the turret had a periscope and a searchlight, all of which could be operated from the turret. Each turret operated two MG34 machine guns on rotating mounts.
The interior of the turret was brightly painted into 6 sectors (one for each loophole), and each sector was also numbered. One MG34's fire would be directed via the colours while the other MG34's fire would be directed via the numbers. This is how many Atlantic wall turrets operated.
Great find and very glad to have share dit with you Jake :)
Another awesome video my friend! Everything was well preserved considering the age. I really hope you were able to get that bunker oven into a museum. 💖
I hope so too and thanks.
Wow ! The writing on the turret and other parts is perfectly clean and legible. This is amazing !! Plus the square head screws. In Canada we call them " Robertson " screws. I thought they weren't available until sometime in the 50s. Looks like I stand corrected. They're so much better than those star head ( Phillips ) screws. Thank you again for showing us these fantastic bunkers! I would absolutely love to go to Germany sometime in my life. My father was a tank driver for the allies in WW2. He was part of the group that liberated Holland. My dream was to one day follow the exact steps that they took from the coast of France, to Berlin itself. I am looking foward to you're next video. Thank you !
Appreciated Dave and greetings from us.
Such a fantastic location, it's truly amazing to see such an untouched bunker: No graffiti or other general vandalism. Thank you for sharing, and greetings from Maine, USA
Thanks for that.
Good god, i've seen similar in my Bunkering youth, the steel section had coloured sectors with ranking marks on it. I think it fronted gun emplacements as a ranging point.. Jersey is littered with various bunkers of all types and some are restored and open, others finds in the rough! I even went into an old unfinished tunnel that was filled with various "bits" from Horse gas masks (conical bakelite) to gun boxes, helmets and rust! piles and piles of rust....
must have been very interesting Andre. Thanks for sharing and for watching.
I just found your channel and I am amazed by this history, keep up the great work. Thank you so much
Thanks for watching
Enjoyed the drone shots and intro music HH. The discovery of the 1943 Dreischartenturm Panzer Dome was a rare find indeed. EE was quite a bit smaller then. Good idea having him wear a helmut for safety. Did the bunker oven eventually end up in a WW2 history museum? Very interesting still seeing some of the original German writing on the bunker's walls. Very interesting site. Thank you for taking us there EE and HH.
Yes that is a great place to see. Original writing is always nice to find. Thank you Laura for being here and we will share more later :)
