I went to France with Eelco to explore an abandoned WWII bunker of the Maginot line, the 2nd largest fortification of the world. After being abandoned, many guns were removed or relocated to a museum, but in this bunker you can still find some big guns!

Bob I think it was not chairs but a small lift to move the heavy round up to the barrel
I can see this bunkers
heb je je accent ff van rutte geleend?...
The amount of effort, materials and design that went in that bunker boggles the mind. Epic.
Yes, and this is just 1 of the countless Bunkers of that line😮
The "effort" was mostly slave labour, the majority of the materials stolen from France ( or any occupied country)..it cost the German military next to nothing
War costs so much money man.
I'm just impressed at how rust free that 90 year old turret is inside in such a wet environment
It is ! Some more stuff is coming up :)
Must have been in A vacuum ......
They put that there, to sell videos!
@@kimmichaels899 So we take the guns inside the bunker? Have you seen the entrance? :D
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath No worries, Kimmichael is one of the 81 million low brain power voters
The absolute magnitude of these bunkers built pre/during the war just blows me away.
Thanks Bob for such an awesome video
There's a reason NASA recruited a bunch of Nazis post war. They were brilliant minds. Unfortunately being put to bad use in that era.
I grew up in Germany during the 50’s and 60’s. Locally we had a bunker that was destroyed by filling it with water then putting an explosive inside. There was no giant gun but there were remnants of a radio, lots of bullets and a crushed narrow gauge rail car where two soldiers would sit facing one another. I heard that there was an underground hospital nearby but we never found any evidence of it. I used to take the bullets home and remove the slug and pour out the gunpowder and set it on fire. At school we used to have ammunition awareness week where they used to bring in defused bombs and ammunition to discourage us from touching them if we found anything.
Do tej pory w Polsce często odkrywane są niewybuchy. Sam złapałem jednen na magnes neodymowy . Szukam z wykrywaczem i znajduje masę łusek , amunicji do mausera. Zgłaszam często na policję, żeby nie zrobiły krzywdy nikomu .
Did you grow up in the east or west? Did you have any run in with the Stasi?
My girlfriend lives in Köpernick district in Berlin and they find bombs all the time 79 years later
I've been in that bunker in the 90's.
Amazing how little it has changed till now. Wasn't burnt back then but the floors were pushed up already
I’ll be visiting the maginot in a few weeks, can you tell me where this thing is?
@@maxroffel2304 just look at all the signs in the video. listen and watch closely and you will fnd out. I just did. 3 hints... 0:22 , 3:38 and 2:52 was all I needed.
All that work to build it for it to be forgotten and left to rot , it would make a great museum
There are a few museums. There are so many that they can’t save them all. I just uploaded another Maginot bunker in a better shape and different features & guns🤗
That’s pretty wild how much the floors have buckled up from the expansion of that mineral!
You find the best places to explore!
What an awesome bunker to explore! Lot's to see. Lekker knakworstjes met Hertog Jan bier, mooie tijd zo samen met Eelco :)
Bob, I never would have imagined hat such an intact complex of the Maginot Line still existed to this day. Thank you
There are some more cool ones! And I will also revisit some others I’ve been to and show pictures from almost 15 years ago when I went and compare it😊
I can't get to these places anymore ,so thank you for these films and showing me things I will not get to see for myself I have done a lot of exploring over the years and your adventures bring back so many memories and lets me come with you even if it is in a small way .This is wonderful stuff ,Thank you .
This was epic, im actually writing a book about ww2 and this gives me a good image of the bunkers back then
What a spectacular bunker, maybe the most intact I've ever seen! Thank you so much for sharing!!
A great explore of a fascinating bunker. Your explores with Eelco are some of my favourites on your channel. Really interesting (and funny) comments between you both. Thanks.
Thanks a lot Paul! Hope to go on some more trips together😄 We’re both very busy😒
I've just realized how much my years of working as a Home Inspector has messed with my mind, because I saw that entrance that you used to squeeze into the bunker and immediately thought "yeah, that appears serviceable".
Haha! Funny to look from that “ angle”😇
tough job home inspector....finding faults ...estimating repairs...every day... passing on all this good information to the potential new home owners
@@lawrenceaderneck7165 I love it.
Wow. Just wow. It's like stepping back in time. Thanks guys.
That place was massive thanks for sharing guys great work 👍
Better then any History Channel documentaries 😜👍🏻
That was an epic explore with so much detail and still working systems and a great talk as you proceeded along the many corridors thanks Bob for the insight as I will never ba able to explore the site myself.
The mechanics of those turrets is nothing short of amazing! What an interesting place to explore.
Easily the best bunker setup I've seen on an urban exploration channel!
i could just walk and walk and explore forever....Amazing video and thanks for the video bob
The Maginot line defence is amazing feat of engineering.
Great footage lads.
Crazy to imagine it’s almost a century old also..😳
Great video! It's a terrible shame that no one is maintaining this anymore. This is true history!
Personally I'm glad they arent all preserved. Most of these are but its more fun to explore these ones
Who is paying for that maintenance, you? You can't preserve everything and personally I wouldn't spent any money, whether that's tax money or mine, to maintain useless bunkers while there are roads, bridges and buildings that we use every day in need of repair. I mean, the Marginot Line is HUGE, you can't possible preserve all of those bunkers.
Fantastic stuff guys, your whole video set up is perfect 🙂
Bob and Eelco guiding you through the museums still without a ticket booth!
Good stuff as usual Bob. You find some incredible places
Can we both be best friends?
Thanks a lot ☺️🙏
Really cool...I have seen so many old films of inside the maginot line structures but this is an incredible view of what its like today.Really amazing after over 80 years..
Places like these should be preserved. If not for being relics of the past, we might need them again soon.
Would be useless in a modern war
@@JoshhGB They said the same thing for trench warfare
@@randomdude8202 i mean these places are in france not ukraine which is a nuclear power. The only countries strong enough to invade france are also nuclear powers. What use would they be in a nuclear war?
@@JoshhGB You hide inside.
@@randomdude8202 and die from radiation?
Your content just gets better and better 😁👍
Thanks! I still mostly rush through places but I try to give more and more information.
Wow how extraordinary to see the preservation of some of the mechanisms. Just amazing. Thanks 🙏
Some stuff in a good condition!
Nice Find Bob. Not Much WWII items left anymore.
I just uploaded another one, which was more intact😎
Lol yes there is more than you think. In Germany they find live ordinance all the time 79 years later
Best of the best videos! Great find, Bob! Hope you are doing well!
Jeez. This structure is really complex... Amazing. Thank you for the content.
I’m so happy for all the new videos, Bob!! Good to see you and Eelco together again. Whenever I see a notification for a new video from you I immediately watch it. Thank you 🙏
Reminds me of my explorations of the Maginot. That was 30 years ago. Still got hundreds of pictures.
Very cool piece of history, thanks for sharing this with us 👍
I just crawled out of this bunker (again)😂 Thanks!
Hello people,
I don't know if it's already in the comments, but if you're nearby you should definitely visit the bunkers of the Maginot Line: "Ouvrage Hackenberg, Schoenenbourg and many other museums, where the ways of life and defenses are explained.
Unfortunately not lost places but very interesting. Greetings
12:20 someone drank capri sun. i respect that so much
Fasanating video. Great job filming 🎥
Thanks a lot! More of these coming up
Nothing like seeing these two boys bunker diving together again.
amazing video! I absolutely love historic military fortifications.
thanks for this longer tour coverage . you need to be patient to cover it being underground for long time
Thanks ! you can easily spend a day in there! I just uploaded another bunker of the same line, but than with very different features (guns and mortars) and a very intact generating room!
I don’t think they were seats.i think they are hoppers to catch the ejected shell casings
That could be! I’ll dig more into all those things before I visit another one😬
But I do wonder where they were positioned in some turrets.. barely any space to stand…
Those are indeed spent casings hoppers. The fabric or rubber were used to prevent damage to the casings, since they were refilled and reused.
Seats no sitting down on the job lots off moving needed they are indeed for empty that can be reused anywhere they can save on making using more resources all so don't won't emptys rolling around the floor
Man. The engineering even back then. Think about how long it took to dig that hole and the equipment? Impressive. Any idea how long it took to build something like this?
I dont think the whole corridor was on fire, the smoke is only high up on the walls and roof, they made piles of copper and burned it in the tunnels to get the plastic of, and the smoke has no way to go fast, thats why the roof and some of the walls is black all the way.
The mass of some of the things back then scares the living shit out of me. Something terrifying about the machines of this era.
What a wonderful piece of history would make an amazing museum
Wonderful film guys
Hello everyone! Hope you're well Bob 💪😎⭐️
All good here! Soon to Greece for some adventures. Thanks for checking out!
Static versus mobile defense. Interesting how military thought changed over time
And now it's changing back to more static defenses...at least in Ukraine
@@t0ny1189 US wars against poor people fooled a lot of people to think that way. There is no certain winning strategy which will last forever.
Unbelievable engineering brother…🔥🔥🔥
I can not imagine the noise in that bunker when that was in full flow. Bob, I wish you could have shown where the guns were in relation to the outside
Nice video ❤
There's a section of the Maginot Line that I went in with a guided tour and it was all well kept. Really neat stuff.
You remember which one you went to?
Been to visit one of the Maginot bunkers thats opened and restored, really impressive
They are impressive yes! I should too, to learn more about them. I only have seen abandoned ones😳
Thinking about the construction of the bunker is mind-boggling. The excavation, the concrete forms that had to been constructed ect .
one of the best ww2 bunkers ive ever seen
how did you find this abandoned places and bunkers? its not like just search on google maps right?
Awesome explore Bob. Bunkers are the coolest.
More cool ones coming up in the next months!
It is definitely creepy and cool. Amazing footage my friend !!!!
Thank you very much!
I've been to the Maginot line. A section where it has been kept in working order, including the underground railway. Which was neat to ride on.
Hands down, one of the best exploration videos ive seen in years, great work guys 👌
Check out my adventures to an abandoned aircraft carrier and former secret military underground workshop too😄🤩
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath I'll definately check them out, love this kind of content ❤️
Wow thanks bob. Was fascinating
I absolutely love the map overlay as you go, super cool and informative
Just got my sub great video from Liverpool England 👍
Great video thanks for bring history alive
The amount of engineering, design and fabrication is truly amazing.
It's really fun to experience exploring places like this.
Those tools found were Spandler wrenches used for arming rounds an timed or delayed fuses on tip of the rounds
Amazing that the guns were still there.
There is so much stuff to be discovered and explored, like Egypt is just burying itself constantly in sand, what if there was no storms, we would find so much lost history
Absolutely amazing find Bob! The condition of the guns is impressive. Is this the bunker that burned in the early 2000's? I heard that it's quite hard to breathe still but that was years ago. Planning to go there myself next year, it's quite close to where I live.
You're making by far the best urban exploration content and this one is no exception - keep the videos coming!
Well, it's not that of an amazing find. Within the WWII historians community it is a pretty well known bunker.. a not so well kept secret, so to speak. 😊
I have been there, but at the time was not properly equipped to venture inside. So nice to see some well-filmed footage !
C'est l'ouvrage du Métrich qui a été pillé par les voleurs de cuivre. Après, une association qui sauvegarde un autre ouvrage Maginot est venue récupérer quelques pièces d'artillerie et divers matériels.
L'armée a essayé de boucher les entrées par des levées de terre pour éviter de s'aventurer à l'intérieur car il est dangereux.
This one is pretty known.. (although most people miss the guns. )probably the reason I did not go there for the channel earlier. But I found out it actually doesn’t matter how well known a place is😊
At least I don’t get in big trouble for exposing “ secret bunkers” this time😳😳
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPathIke in Italy 😅?
@@brainthesizeofplanet Yes ! And some stuff I can't show haha ;)
Oh hell yeah, can't wait 🤠🤠🤠
Great time warp video, fantastic seeing all the equipment still in situ.👍👍🇬🇧
10:43
Germany: “why are those guns from the maginot line slowly turning towards us? I thought we were friends with the French now!!”
Danke für das tolle Video 😊
😮😮😮😮 I'm speeches!!
Ok, not speechless enough to not say thank you for the video, that's utterly amazing!!
Thanks! Some more epic bunkers coming up😏😏😏
13:43 that was on fire 🔥 for ages to look 👀 like that
WowI thought this place would of been some tourist attraction but find it is totally abandoned due to the amount of damage from ground swelling. Great video guys and there is no way I would of got through that small entrance. Amazed there is still those large guns and mortars still inside I bet they would still be operable if they were removed and had some work done to them.
They would indeed! Thanks for checking out. I will visit & post more in the near future. About the hole.. it’s tiny! I first went with another friend, bit he didn’t fit. So I had to go back!😅
It was fun to find this location using your video.
Amazing information and beautiful historical video
Thanks! More of these bunkers are coming up🤗
Was in one of those systems in 1972. The mess hall had murals of an outside scene on one wall. Much better shape. But nobody cared we were there then either.
Cool, There are some bunkers with a lot of murals yes! I have been in a few in a pristine state 15 years ago. 1972 must have been crazy😁😁
Wow, dit kanaal is wel gegroeid zeg! 1 miljoen weergeven voor een video van een maand oud! Goed bezig
This is remarkably well preserved. Shame people can't get there without crawling down holes. Or maybe it's just as well really.
So when I went urban exploring in Greece I found a bunker that was not found by the government yet and it had still some shells and I found a Lee Enfield rifle inside with a couple of coins and gasmasks that where never used
Did you take the enfield Home ?
@@ole1594 well yes it was the only thing I took home with me and the coolest thing I found
@@ole1594 I registered it later
Those tools are called Fuse wrenches. Used to put different type fuses on the Artillery round. U.S. Army Field Artillery ret.
Hi Bob, thanks for the tour that is so awesome. Be safe.
Great job Bob love all your excellent videos and hard work thank you guys.
Thanks a million 🙏 😇
Een prima vonst weer een hoop achtergelaten, een mooie explore erg veilig is dat kreng niet meer zo te zien wow.
Ik ga er binnenkort nog enkele andere doen en ik heb er nog enkele op de plank liggen die ook de moeite zijn! Bedankt weer voor het kijken🙏
It must have been deafening when those guns were firing, the sound must have destroyed the gunners ear drums. The amount of industrial accidents from building that gun in such a tight space, it must have been horrendous!
Quite some incidents:deaths have been recorded here indeed!😳
How have I only just discovered this channel
Thanks! I have way more bold adventures on this channel.. from space shuttles to warships😁
WOW What a cool place to look around!!
It is! You easily spend a day in there!
Its amazing how they built all of this
Eelco! The gang's all back together.
thank you for the tour
Very KOOL Bob
Wow that's cool enjoyed it
Super video 👍😉
That was pretty cool!
