I lmao when she told him that was the venomous snake and he snaps his head back at it like oooooh shit.....lol
Truly amazing. Absolutely no graffiti to be found. If this was in America it would be covered.
You and “The History Underground” should connect and do a video.
I agree. JD and Chris would be a great combination. I enjoyed both channels.
Here here!
These forts are a safety hazard and should be demolished or blown up with explosives.
@@PreservationEnthusiasthahaha no....your crazy.
@@Randyronald999 No, there have been many examples of unsafe remnants from WW2 being demolished to make them safe.
Norway's snakes are mildly venomous. Not often deadly. Amazing size of that gun. I have explored many war ruins there but not that one.
An incredible relic of history preserved instead of neglected and covered in mindless graffiti. Nat Geo shows don’t hold a candle to Chris who literally takes us into these places. Another awesome journey, I look forward to the next stop in living history.
Even then there was graffiti by the base of the gun sadly
Very interesting video, thank you! Norway under Nazi occupation was a part of Atlantic Wall defence (Atlantikwall in german), a system of coastal forts and defences that streched all the way from south west coast of France, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark to Norway. Allied intelligence tricked nazis in to thinking that they gonna do a seaborne Invasion and jeopardize nazi supply of iron ore that they were shipping from Narvik, which was very important for nazi war industry. That is why Nazi Germany invested heavily in to fortifying norwegian coast.
You REALLY get around fella ! We appreciate your dedication. 👍
This is my hometown of Kristiansand! I would absolutely love to take you on a hike to show you where they quarrantined sick people in the 1800 and 1700s. It's a very cool place and has clear remnants from when they built walls to keep the sick people from going to town.
edit: That's not the adder, that's the slettsnok. The Adder has a very distinct black zig zag pattern. (hoggorm) But always treat all snakes like they're deadly is a good idea.
Your video does a good job of demonstrating the scale of military equipment, emplacements, etc. that were part of WWII. I'm surprised that all the equipment and buildings are so open and accessible - makes for a great tour. Great video-keep up the good work - thanks
You know, Chris, when you mentioned at the end about all of that being built by "whom" and for "what", I totally related. There is something admirable about the ingenuity that went into all of those bunkers, etc. but the purpose for it all, and the minds behind it, are so totally loathesome. Thanks, as always, for taking us with you.
Wow, from the Pittsburgh area to Norway! Nice!
I love WW2 history.
My grandfathers were all their and the respect I have for veterans of that war, or for any war, is immense.
By the time our troops reached this point, the violence and fighting was unimaginable.
So many men gave the ultimate sacrifice and I forever feel indebted to them.
Great video...thank you so much.
Always enjoy exploring these old Atlantic Wall fortifications. Thanks for sharing this one with us. 👍🏻
It's amazing how many are still around!
@@MobileInstinct@TheHistoryUndergrond, two of my favorite UA-cam channels. Keep the videos coming!
@@hargas1974 follow WW2HistoryHunter too, this is all he does.
@TheHistoryUnderground it's been mentioned that you and Chris should do a collaboration. What do you think of that?
@@tashasmith6179 - I’m up for anything.
WW2 is so historic, And the way mobile instinct breaks it all down is terrific 😊
Dang, that snake! Your face, thou whenever you find out it was venomous.Thank you so much for the wonderful videos from Norway. They're amazing.
Awesome video Chris Thank-you for sharing this with us! Watch out for snakes!!!😮
As absolutely massive as that gun was,the U.s. Iowa class battleships had NINE even larger guns! Now that must've been loud....Thanks so much for sharing!
Had? I think you mean HAVE as they all still exist.
VERY VERY COOL CHRIS..CANT WAIT TO SEE MORE..ITS SAD IN R.I. AND MANY OTHER PLACES IN THE NE HAD FORTS LIKE THIS.AND NO FORESIGHT TO PRESERVE THEM..AFTER MILLIONS IF NOT BILLIONS OF DOLLARS,WE TRASHED THEM.
SAFE TRAVELS..
This was amazing to see. I can’t imagine what that’d be like to see in person. Thanks for doing these. This is extremely interesting
Of course the one snake you come across has to be the bad one. lol Good stuff,Chris!
Been there once a few years ago and there is literally something everywhere to be found. Especially in the regions from Bergen to Trondheim, there are literally bunkers, pillboxes and other emplacements everywhere. On multiple occasions i went for a walk and just unintentionally stumbled upon some concrete emplacements which were almost definitely WW2 stuff.
It’s amazing how pristine everything is after so many years!
Yeah they were built to last for sure
Great video as always! Man, you are so good at what you do! We are in our early 70s and appreciate the way you bring history alive again. It means alot to us. Thank you! 🤠🧑🦰🌲🌲🌲 🎼
Wow your in Norway! This will be interesting!
“Love it or hate it this is history” put that on a poster because yessir it’s not always pretty but it’s there to remember and learn!
I didn't get a chance to go to the museum when I visited Kristiansand but it was such a nice costal city!
Thanks for the visit .. be a close as I'll ever get 😊
Imagine if this was Any City, USA, the graffiti.
Almost missed this one.
Thanks for the tour Chris!
🤠👍
I'm amazed never have I seen or heard about bunkers in other countries just something to think about, Thanks for taking us along for history lesson always a blessing Chris
Might have to do a collab with Mark Felton Lol you too explaining it would be amazing. Awesome vid!
Thank you for showing the in-place gun. I've seen so many of the remnants of those guns and knew they'd be huge, but seeing it intact was very nice to see.
WOW! Chris! That was very interesting the history is always amazing to me. I was wondering where you disappeared to! Be safe... great stories. Nice take..
Wow what a story. Thanks for sharing.
Great video--nice that you pretty much have free reign to explore the place. What a complex!!! Thx for sharing!!
I love WWll history. There's just so much to explore. Thanks Chris.
Thank you for sharing this story and video a great history lesson thanks for taking us along!
Norway?!? Bro! You’re the GOAT
Excellent. Simple, informative and with no ego.
Travels abroad, Thank you Chris!
Those bunkers are very similar to ones on our coast here in Oregon & Washington.a lot of which go back to Civil War days and of course later defense needs.everything in concrete...very interesting thanks
Alot of history shown here. Great video.
Hey Chris... I love this type of historical content video.... gives me vibes of Ghosts of the past like everyone who had anything to do with these types of places would be dead now.... its hard to explain, but I get really eerie feelings when you take us through these historical landmarks and i love it..... as soon as I saw that snake and saw how the tail narrowed at the tip like it did, I knew it was an Adder.... please be careful and i hope to see a lot more historical vids like this one.... take care :)
Chris in Europe - That's always cool to see and I hope we get a lot more out of it! 😊
11:32 - That looks like one of those propellant bag pass-through mechanisms. Although a bit small for the size of bag needed for an 38cm / 15" gun. Perhaps the gun in that bunker was of smaller caliber.
Man, you're in Norway now? Jealous to the max! Norway's on the top of my travel list!
Definitely do it. Especially the west coast, it's so beautiful
@@MobileInstinctAlso never new Norway had snakes, that's soo cool!
Love the channel! Thanks for going to Norway 🇳🇴
Quite a video and very interesting too. Look forward to the next one.Thanks.
Guns of Navarone vibe about the place ( love that movie)
awesome video as always, Chris so glad your showing todays generation the history our parents
lived thru be carefull safe travels and enjoyy Norway & there food!
I visited the bunkers in Normandy few years ago now abd the battery at longe sur mer where they filmed the longest day film.
Fascinating the engineering and the lengths the gernans went to during the second world war.. Also soare a thought to the poor souls who built them.
This is very interesting military history of WW2. Thank you Chris for this awesome video. And stay safe 🇺🇸
Very impressive, Chris! Enjoy your stay in Norway
Death adder would have been very slow due to the weather. As long you kept your distance your okay. If that hot day sunny day it woyld have been moving quickly around to face you. First strike is a warning, second you knw the rest. But all in all I enjoyed the vlog of history of world war 2. Looking forward to your next vlog of your journey.
Adder's are timid, only bite when stepped on or picked up so as long as you don't step on one, and wearing pants should be fine :).
They do come in different looks though, some can be black like that one, some can have markings.
This is so interesting to see! I cant wait to see all your videos on this adventure. Thank you for sharing.
Looks like a beautiful place to visit
i like how they restored it. most places remove everything
I like your vocalization, it's definitely helpful for me learning English. Subscribed👍
Great video, the whole complex is still in relatively good shape. Impressive stuff!
Wow! Been following the channel for a while and now you're in my country. Good video
Wow! Thanks for the history lesson and the hands on view! Watch out for those snakes!
Awesome Chris . More stuff like this is great
I am a new subscriber and I am so impressed. This was absolutely unbelievably fascinating. Thank you.
Excellent video. Thanks!
I'd love to explore that!
Many videos have you done but this is one of the best for Shure.🐒🐻🤗👍
Amazing video, thanks for sharing.
I wonder why they bricked up all the entrances would have loved to see what was in there, I loved the German engineering great job sir.
Fascinating stuff, thank you ✌️ 😎
Imagine how much cost was put into building such a complex fort. They would have spared no money establishing it and building it fast i would think.
Norway is a really beautiful country, enjoy your stay!
It's hard to believe how quick and how many of them they could built
Awesome video as well as the history.
Very interesting, thank you for sharing
Very interesting! Great job.
This is interesting Chris ty for sharing
You go everywhere don’t you? 👍 well done 👍
Enjoyed this… great content
This is incredible
Wow that’s nice
Great video
Good video thanks 👍
Amazing video
Great video.
Wow, amazing !
Caught you on Lamont. New subscriber. Thank you
Fun fact: when they fired one of the cannons for the first time, the German command thought it was a very good idea to have the Russian prisoner’s of war to fire the cannon . So In the case something went wrong no German life were lost. The Cannon worked but the German officers stood a little close to the cannon and the went deaf and they got severely concussed. So you could say the plan backfired on the Germans….
This is amazing
Tino, History Hunter and Eagle eyes are bound to be in the bushes somewhere...
Nice Video Chris
🌴👍🇮🇳👍🌴
Looks like the head to a Star Wars AT-Walker lol
Wow 😮
That is the adder!
Me with snakes, off to the side loading a shotgun. Ka-boom!
I once slept in a bunker on Denmark's west coast, haha.
So much sand.
It's called the Atlantic coast.
4:43..... was that a dicta craft machine sitting on that table?
Yes Norway history👏🇧🇻
Norway is a beautiful country. I had no idea there was occupation that far North. It is a trip. Especially when you consider they never really gave up. Very interesting. Be careful out there. 🐍😳
The size of that complex makes me think of the labor and effort that went into it's construction . Most likely constructed with the suffering agony and death of forced slave labor .
Wow
