Another excellent addition to your growing collection of newsreel uploads. Love the timestamps for ease of precise movement within the newsreel. Practical enhancement.
Just a quick thought. At time of this newsreel, high grade tungsten steel alloys were being severely controlled & rationed in Germany. How many of the new Tiger/Panther armored vehicles could have been manufactured for the eastern front using the material in just one of those huge, coastal artillery pieces?
@@incomitatusI was thinking the same thing! I don’t recall seeing many, if any, mid to late WWII newsreels from the German perspective (with heavy influence from Mr. Goebells ofc). Great music. Vagner?
@@TommyTombs ..no doubt, I never said Guns of Navarone was real....I only said the enormity of the guns and their installation reminded me of that movie.
Some Excellent film footage of the Massive Construction that went into building the Atlantic Wall Bunkers and the Huge amounts of Steel and Concrete that were needed for them! ..As for the Guns ..The Residents of Dover and that part of the south Coast would be better placed to tell you about those! In the End Clip on the Heinkel Bomber Raid Was i mistaken in seeing what looked like a 20mm Orlikon Cannon sticking out of the front perspex Nose of the Lead Bomber!?? ( Didn't know that they carried those as routine Armament!( Thought they were usually 7.92 Machine Guns!)🤔..Cheers Frederick as usual you don't Disappoint!😆
Amazing all the concrete and rebar to build those bunkers in a time frame of 12-18 months not only on the Atlantic but all over the cities and military bases of the Reich. Most are still intact and will be standing for centuries
So...Australia got a mention! Doubt many Germans would have known much about that war. _PS: Wow! What a gun in the thumbnail & later. Almost useless ofc, but looks the biz! When I served⚓ the biggest gun I ever saw/fired was a 76mm autocannon. Mostly I got to fire the old [1950s] Bofors on our minesweeper lol. We had a bunch of old shells we needed to use, so we shot up a bunch of random stuff for a few weeks. Using manual sights, hitting stuff is bloody hard. Thanks from GC Australia F.
My father was stationed in darwin during the war, and he was a radio /radar tech on the black Catalina's,that would fly out at night to mine Japanese harbours, also did rescue stuff. Darwin was bombed around 100 times. Fascinating footage.

" fixed fortifications are a monument to man's stupidity" General George Patton. US Army.
Does anyone know the name of the music that starts around 13:35?
ma..... dal 9 minuto il cannone che stanno montando mi sembra l'800mm Gustav!! Che lavoro! (che sul Vallo atlantico non c'è mai stato)
Think about what could have been built with all that steel and concrete if the war never happened.
And they learned nothing from the Maginot Line. Not so smart.
Well, they had to try and convince the Allies not to attack
I met a old man from Darwin, Australia. He said the Japanese bombed him 56 times. He became a Australian MP...Senator NWT
Very interesting John
That's kewl.
I met a guy who said he was a Flight 93 survivor. Man, the tales he told
