Go inside massive WW2 German bunkers at Batterie Oldenburg Calais

Situated just to the east of the port town of Calais is one of the largest WW2 German gun batteries on the French coast - with two of the largest bunkers ever built on the Atlantikwall.
In this video we bring you amazing drone footage of the site, plus take you inside the big bunkers to reveal the living quarters of the gun crews located here during WW2.
Known as MKB Oldenburg, this site was designed to protect the busy port from Allied attack and features two massive, special construction buildings - sprawling concrete giants built to house captured Russian naval guns of 240mm housed in the central position.
Each side of the gun room are two storey, adjoining structures with one floor for personnel and the other for ammunition storage.
To the rear of the westerly bunkers is a machinery bunker and workspace which can be accessed via an underground tunnel inside the main bunker.
You can also see the large observation position which formed the heart of this Kriegsmarine controlled site. The Obs building was constructed over two levels and featured a hospital on the lower level.
Access to the hospital building is via a small hole in the wall which was originally blocking up the original entrance and inside you can visit many of the rooms, although they are not in the best of conditions. You’ll also need a decent torch if you do plan to go inside.
This sprawling site also features a defensive R612 casemate for a 7.5cm gun, a R629 anti-tank gun garage bunker, several personnel shelters, and machine gun positions.

I'm disgusted at people who have used spray paint on historical places.

Massimo spregio per gli ignoranti e zotici che oltraggiano queste fortezze non sapendo quanti soldati sono morti dentro e sui terreni adiacenti intrisi di sangue di giovani costretti a morire per far modo che dei rimbambiti imbrattassero i muri 🎠🎠

Thank you for the no “bla, bla” video. And disclosure of where it is. And the drone images.

[@normandybunkers]

mooi hoor wij gaan ook altijd op zoek na bunkers en restanten van die tijd en dan als het dan kan even de metaalsector er bij even nog lekker zoeken

[@vaderbase]

I wonder why these shapes are looking so round and organic like being designed by L. Collani?

Does anyone know the regulations about the paint jobs inside the bunkers? I mean the yellow or blue with the white and the red stripe between it . Tnx .
