Always such a pleasure to see sites with so much stuff left intact. Thanks for bringing us along
I agree and loved to see this place. Thanks and more to come :)
This little location just keeps giving. Yes, that looks very much like a bomb casing that you found. It has burst rather than exploded. It might have been dropped too low to set off the fuses, or possibly disarmed after the war by Bomb Disposal. A nice rare find. Then, there was the cut up breech. It's always fascinating to see how these guns were cut up after the war. Being able to see the cutting torch marks is fascinating. Another rare find that, hopefully, will not get souvenired in the future. And then, the gun turret. It's a Krupp 15cm S K L/45 naval gun. You can see the details at the bottom of the elevation plate on the left hand size. These had a range of about 18,000 metres, and many of them were stripped off the old WW1 Dreadnoughts, and cruisers, and re-used as coastal artillery. It is always nice to see guns in place, as it gives you a really great sense of the history of a place, as it was, rather than just a collection of concrete and brick structures. Just loving this little adventure. Looking forward to seeing what else this fascinating place has to offer. Cheers to you both!
Thank you for the great feedback and for your great support my friend :)
If these follow US type Howitzers, the right side of the gun (facing out) is for elevation, the left is for direction (quadrant and deflection). I think all modern Howitzers still have hand cranks - when all else fails...
Cool site!
Interesting and thanks for being here with us :)
Another great video with so many features still in place for us to see......thanks for going the extra mile to bring these to us 👍🏻
Our pleasure!
Wow, you really have found a gold mine with this site, and to have an artillery piece still in place, and not heavily covered in spray paint, just awesome. EE seemed to be having a wonderful tine with that field gun, and exploring the bunkers. Looking forward to part 3. Stay safe and well my friends
EE loves these guns and cant get hi way from there :) So great to see it without all the graffiti crap. Thanks so much and keep smiling out there :)
Thanks for the new video from you two. Nice cannon end location. For the trip in fuel cost. Greetings from Holland. Chris end Pascal my son.
That is so very kind of you my friend. Will for sure help out on the long journey we are on right now. Say hello to Pascal from us and have a great summer :)
Seeing that Krupp Naval gun still in place was amazing! That location is really an awesome suprise around every corner. EE was so excited to see the gun that he put on great speed!!! Thank you for this superb bit of history!
Totally agree and it is very exciting to find places like this. Loving it and have a great summer Beverley :)
I don't know how I missed this one? Just loved the Krupp K5 gun - A MAGNIFICENT BEAST!!! What a rare find. EE can see why you would be so exxcited.Thank you for taking us there. Stay safe please.
Yes EE really enjoys finding locations where there are actual guns from the war. This place is really huge and so much to look at. Thanks and more to come :)
@@WW2HistoryHunter can't wait.
Great to see an area in such good condition and looked after to some extent. I would happily spend some time there cleaning and repainting that gun!! Thanks for show it all to us.
I agree what a great place to look into and could easily spend some more time there :) Keep smiling and be safe out there :)
The field of view from those guns is incredible , good work guys !
Totally agree and thanks so much ave for being here :)
This area just never stops giving. Loved how that gun was still there and the original ammo storage doors!!! Really surprised on the later. Too bad the ammo building was sealed; would loved to have seen the inside of it and oh, also the control bunker was pretty neat. Small, but efficient. Part 3, oh my gravy...suspense is killing me!!! lol. Thanks for this cool area. EE keep up the great work. Stay well(hope you are feeling better)and smile........
EE was so happy going there and was so glad he healed so quick so that he could go. Thanks and more to come Colleen :)
Oh I think I know where your going with the trail cam's, a particular spooky forested area? 🤞
I can't wait for each episode!!!
More to come!
E E. You do a lot to make these videos really fun to watch. Keep up the great acting and sound effects. 👍👁👁👍
Very different construction, interesting. Looking forward to the trail cam videos. I remember those strange places.
You and me both!
Woww!!! What a cool site!! And that big gun is amazing! It looks like someone has been keeping it painted over the years to protect it! Well done EE and HH!!
Yes it seems lie it and thanks for being here :)
Another fascinating adventure! A more than century old Schneider gun still amazingly intact. Thank you for taking me along.
Totally agree and loved to see that :)
What a great site, so much to see and so much metalwork still there, great stuff! Thanks HH and EE!
It sure is and thanks :)
Nice finds. That is a Krupp field howitzer 105mm, that has been taken off the haul carriage and put onto a pivot. Besides the name on the breech block the 3 intersecting circles is the Krupp logo even to this day. Gun was produced in Essen Germany. Love that it is in good condition. The complex is well built by the locals out of granite, not that you people do not have an abundance of it. Was the community on the other side of the inlet there at the time? Great work on this video HH. Stay safe and well out there.
UPDATE: Found my book, looks to be a 15cm, SK L/40 which was used in both WW 1 & 2 as costal defense. Not many of them are complete and in place.
Some of it used to be there during those days but not much. yes a SK l40 it is and loved to find that and EE was over the moon for that as well. Thanks William and greetings from us.
Thanks history hunter and eagle eyes for showing us places some can’t go to. Fantastic 💜💜💜👍👍👍 looking forward to part three. Looking forward to the trail cam video👏👏👏👏
So appreciated Wendy and have a great summer from us :)
Just keep loving this site more and more. An old Krupp gun that is still in relatively good shape and not too much vandalism is indeed awesome! Would have to look through my small reference library on coastal artillery to see if I could find out anymore information on the type of gun. Might try to do that in the next few weeks when I have some spare time.
Shame some of the structures were sealed but can understand their reasoning why. Could be dangerous for the average person to go wandering about through them. Can't wait to see Part 3!
We totally agree and not often to come by actually. Thanks and more to come :)
15 cm SK L/45. I'll leave the rest to you.
@@bencejuhasz6459 Thanks. Been so busy with real world stuff I haven't had time to really do research to figure out what type it was. Glad things are slowing down at work a bit. Might actually have some more energy when I get home and on the weekends.
@@doctordweeb8752 I know tank cannons much better, but I figured since it was a Kriegsmarine installment, it must have some sort of SK. And I have the unfair advantage to watch the video on a 4K 27 inch screen and at 9:50, I read the shooting table(Standhöhenregler) and under it, the type of the gun is engraved into the metal.
AMAZING Video! Fantastic work!! Happy Fathers Day!
Appreciated and greetings from us.
Wow lots of it still there! Always great to see preserved guns.
Totally so and thanks my friend :)
Hi HH and EE,
After the war, a lot of steel was recycled, there was so much that they even used it to build ships.
EE takes the gunner position, action.
You may have reservations about war and guns, but they are precision weapons.
Yes that is often what happened. Thanks Oma and keep smiling in the summer my friend :)
I absolutely enjoyed this part and being a trained gunner that was a awesome gun great video
how cool to read and thank you my friend for being here with us :)
HAPPY Father's Day! You and EE amaze me with what you find in your quest to share WWII history and looking forward to part 3. Thanks for sharing and as always " Good Hunting "
Yes it is all about sharing and we love to do so. Thanks and greetings from us :)
Thanks to yourself and Eagle Eyes for the awesome videos! The excitement you have for the things that most people wouldn't even take a second look at is enjoyable to watch. I appreciate the knowledge that comes along with the videos. Thanks again from Australia.
That is so kind of you and we send a greeting from us and thanks.
Excellent videos, and contain informative comments. You can almost picture the men, locations and equipment fighting or defending their positions during WW2.
Indeed and thanks for being here :)
What another amazing adventure! It's so wonderful to see the gun still there and still intact and lacking the awful graffiti. I could almost see them running around and manning that massive gun. Almost hear them calling out orders. I love how EE mans the gun and has special effects. Well done young man. Until part 3 take care and stay safe. Happy Father's day. 💖💯
Yes our imagination is so important and i agree EE do have quite a stockpile of cool sounds out there :) Thanks so much and greetings from us :)
KG is an abbreviation of kilogrammes- Im guessing the max weight of shells allowed in the gun ? It says KRUPP which im pretty sure was a big german industrial company during the war
Krupp were a huge factory chain during WW2 yes. Thanks for watching.
That fortress is formidable, indeed. Wow, with those big guns, Eagle Eyes must have been like a kid in a candy store! Excellent explore!❤
EE just loves that stuff and so glad he does actually. So much better then paying video games he says :) Thanks Cynthia.
Great video, brother! 1960 ,1970s Fort Williams Maine, was much more amazing for firepower. God bless, brother!
Thanks, you too!
Thanks
That is appreciated my friend and we send a greetings from us. Have a great summer :)
WOW great location ! The gun is awesome! Thanks so much !This one made my Sunday afternoon! Thank y’all ! HH ,EE in all I can only say fantastic! Be careful! Be safe !! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻EE make sure your Dad has a great Father’s Day!👍🏻👍🏻
Appreciated Mark and greetings from us.
Great location guys. Keep up the good work.
Will do our very best and thanks for being here :)
I can’t stop watching your videos . One day I will love to watch you guys on t.v. One day I hope
Appreciated and greetings from us :)
Another great video. Thanks for that. Hope your feeling better. Interesting that you’re going to be ghost hunting as well.stay safe.
Working hard ot get well and will never surrender :)
We hope you are feeling better. What a fabulous site. It looks like EE was in his element.
Indeed better now and thanks for being here with us.
Who built the facilities before the second world war? You indicated the construction techniques were very different...French? Very heavy caliber 15 cm guns to need shell hoists. That piece of steel had the breach locking mechanism in it. Always fascinating to see these sites, thanks for taking us along! Stay safe and stay well!!
i really could not tell. Thanks for watching.
always love your vids. keep on going. wish I could be with you. they're very interesting. love them!
Glad you like them!
That was amazing to see the artillary piece still there and intact..rare to find and im sure its protected by a landowner or an organization...they were using field pieces from ww1 it seems.
Yes not too often to come across. Thanks and more to come :)
Looks like a 4" naval gun off a ship. I could have come from one o the German Ships that had to be kept in service after WWI. They had to keep them until later on when Germany started building new ships. Great look. Thank You. I love the guns.
most likely so and very glad we could see that and more to come Larry :)
Happy father day to you and look forward to video from you and eagle eye keep up great job
Thanks 👍
Love seeing these locations. Were the ammunition hoist operated by hand or did they use a motor? You must go to these locations and leave with many questions about what you have seen. Do you find yourself going home and researching deeper into these locations looking for answers? I still find it wonderful that Eagle Eyes is interested in WW2 history. Seeing huge guns must be exciting for him. Keep up the great work and teaching Eagle Eyes.
That's insane. Love this. Can't wait for the next one.
Great work as always. 👍👍👍
Thanks.
Your docos are so damn good. Love your work. What a champion dad you are too. EE and BBE are great kids and blessed to have you as their father. Thank you.
Very kind of you my friend and we send a greeting your way :)
@@WW2HistoryHunter
Thank you sir, your Docos are always well researched, informative and downright entertaining. Streaming services like Netflix would be well served to purchase your work.
Just put yourself into that position of performing several things at once, gun crews had hard jobs, when I was field artillery, we were known as " gun bunnies" hopping around the gun learning each other's jobs. The fear, stress, nerves, not to mention the incoming barrage and bombardment. Those men caught hell..
So true and so much courage it must have taken to do that service. Thanks William :)
@@WW2HistoryHunter You're videos just keep getting better and better,
What a gun and thank for sharing more of this amazing location
Yes David , loved that place and for sure more to come. Thanks and greetings from us.
The PARKS DEPT. installed the gun for the visitors. This is probably an Allied Base, possibly even within the continental USA. I've seen identical installations along the coast in Oregon (Battery Russell at Fort Stevens) and that's a quonset hut if I've ever seen one.
Thanks for watching.
amazing, ive been to jersey in the channel isles that place is just unbelievable all the sea defenses bunkers etc are still intact. I recommend a visit to jersey.
More to come, I can't wait thank you history hunter and Eagle Eye's.
Our pleasure!
Mr HH and EE thanks for sharing your experiences as always very fascinating and very educational. The Gun is in such remarkable condition for been outside such a long time. They really over engineered and built them to last way back when. Stay safe guys.
All our pleasure and we send a greetings from us.
Always love to watch youre video's good job
I appreciate that!
Another amazing adventure!! Seeing that gun was incredible
I agree and loved the location. Thanks and greetings from us.
Thanks for all the great videos .... much appreciated
great work on this, amazing find. do u think these sites should be marked as historical and preserved?
Some of them are protected ad preserved and very glad for that. Thanks.
Hello nice people .amazing video again i love it to follow the ww2 trip net trip to holland
Thanks for watching.
Still can't believe that location just amazing every thing is great shape can't wait for the next video .
It really is Jacob and more to come :)
So cool to see those guns in such good condition.
Thank you so much Leeroy for your great support and greetings from us.
Algorithm comment for having the best WW2 docos on U-Tube.
So appreciated my friend :)
So glad this site isn’t ruined by graffiti. Wouldn’t be surprised if this place was used for a movie in the future
Agree and we thank you for watching :)
Outstanding video and presentation from the WW2 History Hunter Team.
Thank you!
So appreciated and greetings from us.
I can't say I'm surprised to see brick sheds. By that point concrete was becoming difficult to acquire as much of it went to hardened U-boat shelters...so I imagine they had to improvise at times
could e that yes and thanks for watching.
Great job HH and EE. This location is very interesting. I'm wondering if the gun was used in WWI having 1914 on the breach. Can't wait for part 3 and the upcoming videos with the trail cameras. Got a good idea where you are going to set them up. Thank you and EE for sharing so much history.
i am not sure the 1914 could also be a production number or something i really cant tell.Great to see such a gun there and trail cams will be exciting to try out some more yes. Thanks and greetings from us :)
Wow, to see that gun so well preserved is a real treat! Interesting that it dates to 1914; I figured it may be a bit older than WWII due to its relative chunkiness, if that's a word haha.
It's really interesting to contrast the construction between German and non-German fortifications. Those were built before hostilities when they had more time to prepare a relatively properly finished product, whereas the Germans were building fairly hastily, although still quite high quality examples.
Cheers 🙂
Yes some of them took decades to build and the Germans actually built more and better in just years it seems. Thanks Dennis :)
That gun looks like one of the small caliber guns used on battle ships and maybe their destroyers.
I agree and i think you are right. Thanks for being here :)
@@WW2HistoryHunter I sure enjoy the sound of your little boy. I have one grandson younger than yours but I don't hear him enough. He loves me beyond description and I treasure that!
Wow really great adventure again always looking forward to your Videos
Glad you like them!
SALUTE! Love you,EE,and BBG!!
We are having a great time out here and we thanks you for your great support my friend. Have a great summer :)
Awesome explore again. Who knows what those buildings were really for. Didn't look like a hardened roof for ammunition, but hey, who knows?
Yes who knows. We loved to be there and such details to see and share. Thanks and greetings from us.
Once again EE and HH bring history alive with this hidden gem of a fortress .Incredible to think that Gun could have come off a WW1 Dreadnought that opposed the Royal Navy!👍
Thanks for being here :)
That hunk of metal was I believe was half of the Breach Block hence the thread ? As usual HH and EE do a fantastic explanation!
Most likely so and thanks for being here :)
My guess that was a German 1914 155mm naval gun. The staircase on the left was used for the gun captain. He would set up position with his binoculars when the gun was firing and would call out to the gun operators or to the plotting room to make adjustments based on the splashes.
Could very well be and we thank you for being here :)
Absolutely amazing to see that gun!!! It's also nice to see that it hasn't been visited by the local graffiti artist. I'm looking forward to part 3 👍
Great place and great explore. Thanks John.
Well done!😊👍
Thank you! Cheers!
@@WW2HistoryHunter You’re welcome my friend
I'm imagining a modern day scenario where the army had to put these fortifications back in to use. I wonder if it would be feasible. Granted it would take a lot of work and money to make them habitable again and may or may not be worth the effort compared to just building new ones but I'm curious as to whether it would be possible. I suppose it depends on how strong the basic structures are still. If the concrete has degraded then it would I imagine be not even physically possible without demolition and rebuild.
Well even in these days there are actually places on earth that still build fortresses. Thanks for watching.
Great stuff hope you feel better now 👍
Yeah thanks
Happy Father’s Day from the USA. This has turned into a very fascinating location. I wonder how much improvement the Germans had to do to this location before using it for themselves? I can tell that it’s not all of German design. It’s surprising to see some of the guns still there. Do they appear in certain countries more than others? I can imagine Eagle Eyes spinning the runs around in circles if they weren’t locked lol. Am wondering if the bunker that was deep in the ground was a communication bunker. Very cool to see everything.
They did some but actually not as much as one would have thought they would. Most guns like this is on the northern part of AW. Thanks Anthony and greetings from us :(
cool video my friend 👍👍👍
Thank you 👍
Cool location HH & EE 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the magnet fishing tease lol 😂👏🏻
💙💛
Appreciated and greetings from us.
Such a shame they are shut..id love a look inside
Great explore and thanks for being here :)
Nice.... Happy Father's Day 😅😅
Thank you! You too!

Thanks!
Very kind of you my friend and we appreciate that :) Greetings from us :)
@@WW2HistoryHunter As a lot of people say , a bit of kindness goes a long way my friend .
Love history especially when dealing with German, Hitler, Nazi and Nazism.
Thanks for watching.
GREAT GREAT VIDEO!!!! THIS IS PURE HISTORY!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Really like your video! Give really influence and feelings when you talk about your thoughts and how do you think! I really like it keep going sir! I follow you! 👍
Wondering are you in Norway or where are you? Thinking about all bays around you!
Best regards!
Thank you so much!!
And Once Again - Thank You(s)
Appreciated my friend :)
The same gun was mounted on the SMS Kormoran which sank the light cruiser HMAS Sydney.
There you go and thanks for being here and more to come :)
Man you sound like Christoph Waltz I swear to god you are either Christoph Waltz or Christoph Waltz in another life
ok and thanks for being here :)
@@WW2HistoryHunter Love your content man
Thank you for the great Videos 👍👍👍
Thanks for that :)
Wow that's a site to see! Why do you think they left that gun there?
i dont know often they were not left there but brought back after somehow. Thanks.
Another great video. Thank you.
Our pleasure!
thanks for taking us along with you and your son on that journey, one good thing about that place , there was no roten grafeity on the walls .
Agree and thanks so much for your great support Paul :)

Yes what a great place Karl and loved to see the guns there :) Have a great summer my friend :)
nice to see a vid with guns, most have already been removed.
Yes many of them are not there anymore and in a way a bit sad. Thanks.
Amazing video....
Thanks a lot
