Thanks again for another great video and history lesson. It looks beautiful out there.
Appreciated :)
Thanks
Very ind of you David and we rally appreciate that and will save it for future explore coming up. Thanks so much from us and do take care out there :)
Another great explore in the rain, you guys work so hard to make these films to inform and entertain us all. Thank you as ever, keep dry and keep smiling!
Yes tons of rain but so well worth it. Thanks so much my friend and we appreciate you :)
What an enormous place! Definitely not a typical German establishment but extremely cool nonetheless. Thank you HH and EE for taking me along. Take care and stay safe. 💖💯
Great explore Julie and thanks from us :)
Very nice. Really cool to see some of the original metal framework at one of the positions still in situ.
Thanks again 🙂
We loved this place and so glad we could share it with you :)
This site is amazing, HH and EE! The massively older position being used by the Germans is incredible. Thank you so much for sharing this!❤
Our pleasure!
Wow, the fire power of this installation is impressive. I would like to go back in time and watch the construction. Thanks to you and EEs I can. Stay safe n healthy my friends 😊
Appreciated and greetings from us :)
Amazing site. So much going on here. Would be great if there was photos of this location when it was being used, sure would explain a lot. Excellent work HH and EE, thank you so much for the tour. Stay safe and keep smiling my friends. 😊
There could be for sure , will look into it. Thanks so much Allen and more to come .)
cool scenery. I would so overnight camp in those bunkers. ty both
Thanks for being here :)
Another great video from the best team on UA-cam
Hello my friend and we are proud to have you here. Such great little explore and more to come. Thanks for your great support and we send our greetings from us.
Always been fascinated by the Atlantic wall ,grateful to see your adventures.
Great explore and thanks for being here :)
Good afternoon from Syracuse NY United States of America my friends and thank you for sharing your adventures in history field trips
Thanks Earl :)
@WW2HistoryHunter everyone you are welcome my friends
Always an outstanding new adventure video from the WW2 History Hunter team. Great job.
Thank you
Thanks from us :)
Alot of structure packed into that location..very cool. odd there were very few camo anchors.great video guys !
Yes and thanks for being here :)
Looking forward to seeing more history and adventures. ❤️✌️✌️😎
Appreciated Robert :)
Another interesting coastal artillery location HH and EE! That is a strange door with the rivets in it, difficult to understand the need for the rivets. I can only guess that there must have been 6 or more gun placement sites? The support structures like the round observation post were unusual as well. Thanks for taking us along guys!
Could have been 6 yes. Very interesting place and thanks so much Donald :)
Brilliant how the Germans incorporated their defences into existing structures.The Channel Islands are a perfect example of this,castles and victorian forts were converted as part of tha Atlantic Wall. Once again HH and EE reveal a stunning location.👍👍
Appreciated my friend and we THANK YOU for your great support :)
So cool. Eagle Eyes sounds so young compared to today.
Great to see how much tactics change. Even in just 30 years.
Camouflage was not even considered to vital defence.
Indeed and thanks :)
Another excellent video production, HH. The C&C bunker looks like WWI, and the post with the circular plate was an azimuth unit with a phone in it. We have large-scale units in mountaintop fire watch towers. This is a great place to spend days plotting all the positions on a local map. Thanks for another video. You should be used to EE going high after BBG and walking the railings on the gun pit. Please stay safe and well, my friend.
Thanks so much :)
That was a good find you two,take care.
Appreciated and greetings from us :)
Thank you for sharing that location with us. It was fascinating.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great adventure HH and EE, they certainly had a commanding view over the coast from that position. Thankyou for sharing with us.
Appreciated and more to come :)
this site i found it to be very interesting but like you said, it must have been very confusing to what they were used to.but as always you deliver what you promise great locations and you and eagle eyes really do put a lot of time and energy delivering these things to us thank you and well done.
Agree and what a great place. Thanks so much and greetings from us :)
Super cool site! Very interesting to see how the Germans repurposed it. Can't imagine how much unused footage you must have. Thanks for sharing this with us
Thanks James :)
This fortress was obviously in use for quite along time. A lot of the curved structures, gun pits, and bunkers, look to be from between the wars, possibly from when Europe was re-arming against the German threat. The steel framework in the beginning looks, from it's almost fresh paint, and lack of rust, fairly modern, and may not even have been for military use, as I've seen similar frames used on scientific research projects. The Germans obviously did their own modifications, and it's possible that where there are sheer drop offs, as you showed us, there was a wooden structure, stairs or paltform, there, which is long gone. The concrete post with the metal plate on top is an early form of azimuth direction finding for artillery. It would have been impressive to see the Fortress in her heyday before she stripped. She would have been bristling with guns of all sorts. Thank you guys for sharing this amazing location with us. Looking forward to more impressive explores! Cheers to you both!
Interesting and this was a great place to experience. Thanks so much my friend.
That was quite interesting on how they used "bricks" for ammo storage and for along the walls I saw. The construction and or modifications must have been in the early part of the war. Great views! Thanks for getting this video out there for us to see. Take care.
Thanks Colleen :)
Love the channel all the way Myrtle Beach South Carolina USA boy love our history

🇬🇧🫶🏻🇳🇴
Thanks Glenn and greetings from us :)
What you have found is amazing thank you hh and ee for bringing this to us. I have wuben x3 pro and his flashlight is amazing
That was great to see. And so much of it in good shape. HH did you ever replace the Wuban flashlight you lost? Keep smiling dear friends.
Interesting place for sure. the light has not been replaced , yet but we might be able to do that now thanks to a INCREDIBLE kind JuleyC :) Thanks so much :)
@@WW2HistoryHunter Glad I could help with that :)
Great finds. Thank you for sharing
Thanks my friend :)
Hi HH & EE,
The fire control bunker is impressive on top of the rock.
It is an extensive coastal artillery location.
Thank you Oma :)
Cool site !!!
Loved it and thanks :)
Always interesting.
Thanks my friend :)
I always wondered why the Germans built or pursued the 'Atlantic wall' when they were able to defeat the Maginot Line so easily? Why not dedicate more resources to mobile forces to respond to an invasion force?
Who knows why we will never know most likely :)
I think it was general Patton who said that fixed fortification were a testimony to the stupidity of man.
The maginot line fell fast because they flanked it. If they were to have taken it head on who’s to say if they could have defeated it.
Most German Generals and historians agree with you but the Atlantic wall was Hitlers idea, and well, let’s face it. He was slightly delusional .. 🤪
Sorry but the answer was obvious, the Maginot Line was just a simple straight line on France-Germany border, while Atlantic Wall was covering the entire coastline for Western Europe. The two were not the same.
And most importantly Germany was short on fuel as always and this limited the amount of mobile forces they could operate, obviously impossible to cover the entire coastline. The dictator made the only affordable and rational move to use fuel-free static forts and emplacements, and crewed them with low quality static units, so even if they were bypassed, some that couldn't be evacuated and surrounded was still not as much as a major loss for German military.
Hi very interesting as usual the design of the original gun emplacements are very similar to some near me in Dorset England ours were built in 1892 I don’t no if I can add a picture.
Thanks my friend
These Atlantic Wall fortification was built as a part of German defense plan to slow down Allied landing forces as much as possible to buy time for the mobile Panzer reserve which the Germans expected them to be delayed by Allied air power and insurgents. These forts close to the beaches were more sturdier against naval bombardment and not to mention cheaper than putting fragile expensive tanks close to the beaches at the start.
Thanks for watching :)
Only reason I watched this video is because I couldn’t find a video of a sleeping cat in a Chinese hi rise 😂. Wonderful to see a location that the Germans took over to make their own. Definitely built different from what the Germans build. The fire and control bunkers are definitely different from what the Germans built. A lot of gun placement for such a small area. Thanks for sharing this interesting site.
He he , well there you go and thanks so much for your great support :)
Wow
Thanks for watching :)
Nice one lad's 👍
Thanks 👍
Well, third time is the charm. Watched this the night it was released but was pretty beat and didn't want to comment until watching it again. After dinner and finishing chores on Friday night I flopped on my favorite couch, threw a blanket over me, and one of my two cats flopped between my legs. Started watching and the next thing I knew part 1 was almost over. Have them in a playlist and had fallen asleep at the start of part 3 and slept through all of part 2 and woke up as part 1 was finishing. Took the hint and went to bed and both cats joined me.
Finally got it watched tonight. The site is so fascinating. Find it amazing how similar coastal fortifications at that site look similar to the coastal fortifications here in my home state. Of course, I figure most sites built around that time frame were probably similar. Just a shame the idiots have to come and graffiti the structures.
Sounds like a good thing to do , just relaxing and enjoying life :)This location is very interesting and we might go back there to figure out even more. Thanks from us and keep smiling :)
hi guys i noticed a steel frame out in the water in the last shot of the video do u know what that is
i see and i dont really know. Thanks.
So sad that these taggers destroy things..
Totally agree and thanks :)
@WW2HistoryHunter you're welcome my friend. There's a difference between historical graffiti done by those who were there originally. But , this is not the case.. I'm glad I ran across your channel a few years ago...
😊
Appreciated :)
I always thought it was strange that they built the atlantic wall to protect themselves from the enemy, when they themselves were the enemy that invaded those countries. Just like when we fought the korean war an vietnam. We called the people of north korea an north vietnam the enemy when we were the enemy because we were in their country.
Thanks for watching.
😁😁😁😁😁
Thanks Jim :)
