Another awe inspiring structure. And if not for Tino we'd never get to see them or know of them. Too much of history is ignored. forgotten, erased from the knowledge base, and as Tino says, when we forget this history we fail to acknowledge those who worked, lived, toiled and died here. Keep up the good work Tino.
Your awe at the structure and the reverence for the people who suffered and died to construct it shines through these videos. Thanks a lot for making them.
Another amazing deep dive into history ! (no pun intended). Seriously, though, I have learned more from you and your channel in the last couple of years than the previous 40 that I've been a history buff. Your willingness to go down the real rabbit holes of recent warfare certainly help tie together all the bits & pieces that have been dangling. you are soooo much appreciated, Tino!!
Just incredible. You are teaching us all SO much. Looking forward to the rest of the series and all the new material you will release over time. Most Excellent Tino. 👍🏻
I've been by here on a Weser River ferry from Bremen to Bremerhaven. My then young father worked at a shipyard in Bremen in an apprentice program before being taken into the war in 1943. He did work on U-boats as well as a heavy cruiser being built, the Seydlitz. He joined the Kriegsmarine and was captured around June 27th, 1944 in Cherbourg. I've wondered about the inside. So glad you picked this place to explore.
Thank you Tino and Dr.Meyer. Especially what you said at 33:12 and put the importance of these kinds of projects right on the dot for future generations to come. So they will not make the same mistakes and are repaired to recognize possible dangers that will take their freedom away.
You're right about the slave labor, I never thought of it like that before but yes, if my last actions on earth were to build some stupid shit for the nazis, I'd want history to remember who actually built it!
Wow good work in documenting this U-boat factory. The scale is just jaw dropping. I've seen a couple of documentaries about the sub bunker in France, but this is also quite amazing. The Germans were in quite the rush to get those type 21 boats and their modifications put through sea trials. They could have changed the course of the supplies being sent to the allies. I had read that the Germans were attempting to introduce AIP (Air Independent Power) with the type 21. Something that is only just now coming to maturation. I also read that there was one modification that would have made the boat into a fast cruiser as in the French Surcouf. It is good they didn't get these boats shaken down and working well.
Tino, your dialogue with your guide on the present is exactly my opinion and that of many people. But as you both concluded indirectly, if things will turn really nasty (they do slowly and barely noticed anyway), people will act as they did then. Everybody clings to his and his families lives and is easy to blackmail by this. Sad, but true.
I knew of building like this from my uncle and my father pictures that were taken by them when they are in Germany and France during the war still want to know more thank you for dedication to find the truth
Hey Tino!!! Another great one right here! As always your preamble is excellent leading up to your walkabout! 20:00 Completely agree! People need to understand that these monuments need to be preserved to honor those who died forced to build them! Thank you for bringing attention to this. 36:30 and further, again, agreed! Anyone who understands history should be very unsettled and your partner is great and glad he's working on bring out their names! P.S. You and your partner beat the crap out of nazi mega weapons show historians on this subject, I was hoping someone would complete this base examination? Great job both of you! Have a great 4th of July Tino!!! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🤙💪👍👌🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲
First went there in the early 1990s. Been working on yachts and they go to the yards near by for refitting. I,m a keen cyclist and soon found my way over to it. The Germans don,t want to know I get the impression. Nearby there is some concrete posts and concrete foundations from the huts the workers were kept in, its sort of sign posted but you have to look for it. Its a big military training ground but you are allowed in on the weekends. They also have some large fuel tanks back in there, some finished some incomplete. They were intended to fuel submarines but the operations got moved to France before they became operational. Saw a glimpse of the monument in front in the video. That was there in 1990 all ready I have a photo of my old bicycle next to it. We saw the structure going up the river but i could not find out anything about it. (no internet LOL). The monument was a bit of a shock for me.
I did my degree in Bremen and I have visited this site. It has always impressed me by the sheer scale of the place. I come from New Zealand 🇳🇿 and we have nothing even remotely close to this.
The boys in the uniforms with all the brass and oak leaves, at the end of the war, had tons and tons of really big firecrackers which they thought were now unneeded. What to do with them? Blow stuff up, what else?
i have been inside the one pictured in Bremerhaven, nothing but admiration for the men who sailed in them, looks so primitive inside although at the time it was most likely ahead of its time, will go again next year was couple of years ago since i was there.
Thank you for sharing. I am so glad these volunteers are trying to show not only the project but the human toll and their names. Also your discussion about freedoms, how you can easily loose them, and do you get involved. Freedoms are never free. It's much easier to RETAIN freedoms than REGAIN your lost freedoms. It's damn impossible for the local population to deny knowledge of the slave workers watching them paraded daily.
When I was there back in 2006 it was closed and a big part of it was occupied by the military. Good to see it is open to the public and finally get a look inside !
Another excellent original documentary. As a foot note the British tried to blow up a U-boat pen in Germany by smashing holes in the central support walls and using 500lb aircraft bombes. This required a lot of effort and cussed only part of the roof to collapse. So they filled in the bunker with sand with 2 possibly 3 U boats still in side.
So you were in my area? Kudos for this film. Still many things left to explore in that area. English Operation Backfire V2 installation in the forest at the seaside, remnants of a 30km underground pipeline for the Luftwaffe airfield in Nordholz, illumination tower with lift for Flak-protection ...
AMAZING! And why not mass produce them??!!! Good for them! Can it be refurbished and used for something else now? Seems like a waste to let such a magnificent structure just sit there unused....though it is a fantastic memorial...
The xx1 elektro-boat was way ahead but came late - the danish salvage company Switzer raised a elektro boat from danish waters in 1946 , they contacted the danish navy if they where interested in take it over but the fools in the navy declined and so the uboat was scrapped in a small harbor called Marstal and was gone , the next uboat of the elektro-boat found in danish waters was found few years back and it was planned to raised it and the salvage company was contacted to find out if the boat was a grave or if the crew escaped out and they found that the turret - Hatch was left open indicating they left the boat , but when they contacted the german war - grave departement asking for allowence to raised it the plan got haltede for now , maybe at some later date it will be possible , and a famous danish ship - wreck man called dynamite-åge (because he opned sunk german cargo ships with dynamite) has told of a secret position that only he Knows where the experimental Walther uboat is but that is also in the maybe category - after the Regenbogen radio message from Admiral Dønitz secretly ordering the surviving uboats the scuttel them self and over 200 boats did that and many of them lay in danish waters
America needs to save our democracy by acknowledging and fighting the growing nationalism taking hold in our country and the world. Thanks for the great video.
Around min. 42 Helgoland is mentioned. Helgoland was not even bombed for testing, the Brits collected thousands of tons of German ammunition and blew them up in one huge explosion. It was feared the island might have dissappeared, but it did not, although it was totally deserted and quite an amount of its substance was lost forever.
Had to skip the live and come back. Glad I did . This was the most impressive of your videos , maybe not the supreme one because I have enjoyed them all ! I believe the French equivalent , at Brest at a guess , were kept in use .... they simply could not blow them up . Blige ! As we say in the West County while supping the cider . I hope the historians find all the prisoner workforce names are found and remembered .

Yeah that is the greatest challenge a civilization faces: How to be remembered to a reasonable degree of accuracy. Like when you walk among the remains of the Reise Sabon project and literally nobody has any clue as to what those remains were meant for not even a hundred years after construction. Paper (plans) decay, computer files get lost (know this: even the most reliable storage medium, the surface of a hard drive, can hold it's data for about 20 years) and memories of events die with the people who experienced them. And even then, the people who build most of the (underground) structures were utterly oblivious as to what they were constructing and the people who knew were duty bound to keep their mouths shut if somebody too nosy asked them what was going on or (after the war) what had been going on and why...
I'm French Canadian, so I use the CC option, the issue is when you speak or ask questions to the other person, and you walk away from him, we can not understand the answer. Could you make sure we can understand, the recording, by getting closer to the person. Thank you,
I Just watched Iron crossed, Liked it, except from some CGI explosions: One Question, What was that tiny Tracked Unmanned vehicle that popped up in some scenes?
only adds to the question of what doom structures exist today where the same scale is being used with slaves producing it. this really makes me think of China and how they do similar work programs and have built crazy stuff just as quickly. history is repeating itself but I doubt China will be ever more than rarely mentioned on this channel cause (demonetized) but the future looks like this. just glad there are people giving justice a curating historic gold. a least we'll know what happens next.
Did those pens ever start receiving boats from the Craig’s marine, in April of 1945 It couldn’t be possible could it the war was already almost over, thanks for sharing Tino
Honestly, they were facing the three mightiest armies in the world at that time, one side had limitless personel, the other had limitless material and in the middle Britain had limitless cruelty so unless the Germans had used their new sarin gas to exterminate everyone in the British isles or in Stalingrad, Leningrad and Moscow, I don't think these new toys could have made much of a difference, especially since we now know that the nukes were not primarily destined for use in Japan, one more year for Speer and Kammler also meant one more year for Oppenheimer... OF COURSE that doesn't mean we can't speculate a little, after all, it's the only way for the Third Reich to have won that stupid war! : )
@@andrewsmart2949 In response to Otto Skorzeny who had touched upon the subject, Hitler said: "Do you know, Mr. Skorzeny, if the energy released by nuclear fission and radioactivity would be used as weapons, that this would mean the end of our planet?" .. "The effect would be terrible ..." "Even if the radioactivity were controlled and then atomic fusion was used as a weapon, the effects would also be dire! When Dr. Todt visited me, I read that such a device with controlled radioactivity would release an energy that would only to be compared to the meteorites that fell in Arizona and near Lake Baikal in Siberia. This means that any kind of life, not only human but also animal and plant alike would be completely extinguished for thousands of years within a radius of 40 kms." Hitler continues: "That would be the apocalypse. And how should one keep such a secret? Impossible! No country, no group of civilized people can consciously take on such a responsibility. One strike after another, humanity would inevitably exterminate itself, only tribes in the area of the Amazon and the primeval forests of Sumatra would have a certain chance of survival." Later, Skorzeny wrote: "At the beginning of my captivity, in August 1945, I heard that two atomic bombs had been dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Unnecessary bombs by the way, the Japanese Emperor had previously asked the Americans for their peace terms".
The acoustics of the place with just the two of you walking around in there, god knows how unbearable it would have been with hundreds of workers and machines running to even hear yourself think, in a production situation. It didn't go un-noticed in the photographs, if these were 'forced labourers' then where were all the guards ? Some of them were volunteers and others were prisoners of war. In the photo of the living accommodation it looked like the guys in the middle distance were playing cards on top of a barrel. The guys running the museum need a few miniature models made of how the plant was going to be made, and made to work. Perhaps they could reach out to some of the UA-cam channels that love to make scratch built models and ask them if they'd like to help.
Seems a terrible waste of assets already built to blow up these structures and flackturn. Might need them for bomb shelters in the future. LIKE RIGHT NOW.
you said what were those people looking for when they opened the old nazi bunker could it be ???? More than 92 percent of Germany's aviation gasoline and half its total petroleum during World War II had come from . At its peak in early 1944, the German synfuels effort produced more than 124,000 barrels per day from 25 plants.
Well like Jonastal this was a semi "Dummy" building made by slave labours for showing the allies something large they could spie out and bomb, another larger submarine construction plant is said to have been build under Helgoland and another one in Wismar not far from todays MV shippingyard. Inofficialy GDR build their first own u boats (modified type 9) there underground connected via sluice systems to the nearby harbour.
Absolute astonishing episode of a mostly intact production facility. I'm glad you took time to show the sad epic trauma imposed on the slave labor to accomplish this monstrosity of engineering. That's the part that sucks when you admire it. Given another, roughly, 6 months,...it could have been a different war. Thanks again Tino, ...history never gets old.
From an Artistic point of view the weathering and cracks/ protruding rusting re - bar and the numerous shapes , makes for some great Painting ideas ..seeing the Boot prints was creepy even to the ones where it rained with no roof the Place is awesome ..great visual feast Tino .
agree with ya, its historic gold and very interesting. I personally love the scale and silence if nobody was there. adds to the chilling factor. conveyance of fear aka war psychology is apparent in ints workings

Well like Jonastal this was a semi "Dummy" building made by slave labours for showing the allies something large they could spie out and bomb, another larger submarine construction plant is said to have been build under Helgoland and another one in Wismar not far from todays MV shippingyard. Inofficialy GDR build their first own u boats (modified type 9) there underground connected via sluice systems to the nearby harbour.
Watched this again , still a great Vid.
I find interesting that there's no pigeon poop in places why is that? 👍🙌🦘👌✌
Hmm..there must be
Bravo Tino! Another great video! Excellent!
I did not know Hogans Hero's ,Colonel Klink, Werner Klemperer, had been a Uboat captain.
This is a really well made video. Really well!
I was scotched on my screen all the time. Thanks for the time and effort to make this episode.
Absolute astonishing episode of a mostly intact production facility. I'm glad you took time to show the sad epic trauma imposed on the slave labor to accomplish this monstrosity of engineering. That's the part that sucks when you admire it. Given another, roughly, 6 months,...it could have been a different war. Thanks again Tino, ...history never gets old.
From an Artistic point of view the weathering and cracks/ protruding rusting re - bar and the numerous shapes , makes for some great Painting ideas ..seeing the Boot prints was creepy even to the ones where it rained with no roof the Place is awesome ..great visual feast Tino .
agree with ya, its historic gold and very interesting. I personally love the scale and silence if nobody was there. adds to the chilling factor. conveyance of fear aka war psychology is apparent in ints workings
