I can't find any reference to Bormann using sand layers on his Bunker. Here is some info though for anyone that's interest.... After many less successful attempts, the concrete ceiling on the steel beams became such an effective solution that it became an important element of fortification architecture for many years. Steel ‘I’ beams were laid parallel at intervals of 0.4-0.7 m and the filling between them was several-millimetre-thick steel sheets based on lower footers. Steel beams constituted both a self-supporting formwork required for the concreting stage as well as reinforcement of the lower zone of the slab ensuring its bending resistance. Such a solution allowed the pouring of a slab with a thickness of up to 2 m without additional support. A tight steel coating protected against breakage of concrete elements from the bottom during fire or explosions. The maximum span of the ceiling was 7.20 m. Initially, a concrete slab was cast on a steel structure. With the development of reinforced concrete, a spatial net was used to provide horizontal reinforcement in both directions and in the vertical direction thus giving the composite slab.
It's just mind blowing and thinking about how much man power was put into building such immense structures. When you think about the standard ratio to make concrete of 4:1 mix it just blows your mind of the volume of cement required to make that amongst of concrete let alone how much reinforcing steel!
why was it so important to mutilate the bunkers from investigating underneath them, my theory asthere is very little evidence documentation in video, photographs of the building process of the Bunkers makes is highly suspect and how the hell did they build 20 storey bunkers on a soft sanded beach even with 10 meter foundations it wouldnt make sense to any builder of today
Maybe the people that run the site know. Or maybe it happened before they were involved. If we are talking about that trench at the beginning, it doesn't exactly look like a professional archeological dig, although amateurs might do that. Or it's just scrappers or treasure hunters. There are photos of at least some bunkers being built, because the Germans did do that sort of thing. There are even some aerial recon photos showing parts of the Atlantic Wall being built.
To the guy asking if it's original. Come on now😂and isn't that the offices of secretaries and personnel? I've never seen anyone on top of the bunkers. Cool

how do you biuild foundations on soft sand ask an structial engineer how impossiuble it is
Excellent video guys! Lots of nooks and crannies to crawl into especially in Bormann's bunker. Onto the next episode...
Thanks for your support folk :)
Fez doing his best Phil Harding impression 😂
Lol bless old phil
Brilliant video folkes great to see you out with the crew
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks folks! For giving me a history lesson/lessons. ❤❤❤❤ for all of you.
Our pleasure!
Another great video, is this a once and done project, or will you return in the future
Would be nice to go back but other places to see folk :)
thanks for another great video
Thanks for watching!
Interesting as Always 🧠💪🤝.🙏
Much appreciated
Alittle Late But Thanks Ian Chris and Fez
Hello there
Rublow Manor might be worth an investigating and that's if you can get access
Interesting explore folks Cheers Ian Thank you very much
Glad you enjoyed it
Good video thanks👍🇬🇧
Glad you enjoyed it
1:39 Bless you folk!

lost battlefields hes your man
Indeed

Crazy folks! Whens next live🤔😂😂
Wow xx
