Hi HH & EE,
It is another special location, especially the rifle gallery.
It must have been an important location if eight hundred soldiers were stationed there.
The nice thing about the vlog is always that you are a good team.
Yes Oma , such a great place that is and we thank you for your ever kind support. That is greatly appreciated and we send our greetings your way my friend :)
Eagle Eyes has pulled an absolute blinder out of the hat with that adventure, and finding that door was a stroke of genius. He needs a promotion and a slap on the back. Keep it up guys. Loving your work. 👍
Couldn't agree more and so glad he takes interest in history. Thanks my friend.
Hey guys, dont become part of the missing 411. Keep your eyes open out there. Thanks for the content. Really cool stuff!
ok and thanks for being here :)
What a spectacular place! That rifle gallery was so simple in design but clearly very effective. I can see why the Germans wanted this hilltop. EE has outdone himself on this one. Finding that door to go with the photograph was a stroke of luck. Thank you both for taking me along on this Touching History Tour. Take care and stay safe. 💖💯
Yes such a interesting place from the past. Love it and thanks Julie for being here with us :)
Such great training for Eagle Eyes. Learning how to search for information and filtering out fiction is a valuable ability.
Being out and active keeps you both healthy and happy.
Be well and happy.
yes he loves to be out there and thanks for watching.
EE you found a great site. Massive stonework. Very good research to be able to find the same access the 3 were in front of. HH you were wondering where the door plates could go. At 14:48 you have an external access opening with hinge pins on the right-hand edge, I would wager that the plate is the door plate over the opening. Someone tried to salvage it and found the weight was more than they bargained for to carry down the hill. The smell of cordite from that one battle must have been overwhelming, that is 50 rounds a minute even with machineguns is lot of brass.
Again, EE great site find and HH as always, an excellent video. Stay safe and well both of you.
i see , good spotted. Yes lots happening if only for 2 hours. Thanks for being here with us and be safe out there :)
Another outstanding exploration !!!
Thank you my friend :)
Beautiful area and from a distance you probably would not know it contained all the fortifications! Nice job EE researching this fortification and taking us on this great tour with its interesting features! It is amazing the Germans were able to conquer this place with that hail of bullets coming at them from these fortified positions! The results from the battle show you how a fortified position can prevent you from getting casualties. Thanks for taking us along! Stay safe and stay well you two!
Yes this is like a hidden gem on top of a mountain and so glad EE spotted that on Google Earth. Great explore that is and very glad we could share that with you Donald. Thanks and more to come :)
No idea how you found this adventure site but there is NO question that's it's unique and probably seldom heard of. Certainly being a round fortification makes it difficult for the enemy - the result is far too many enemy wounded and /or killed. The 1st time I remember seeing anything similar was at Old Fort Henry here Canada in Kingston Ontario Canada, BUT nothing even close as elaborate. Thanks again for a great adventure. Be careful stay safe and stay healthy.
I know , this is such a great place to see and explore and we loved it. Thanks Ted :)
Many thanks for taking your supporters along on this Touching History Trip. And well done to EE for finding the door in that WW2 photograph - history really does resonate across the years when the past can be matched with the present.
Yes EE loved to see that photo come in place like that. Thanks Sue and more to come :)
What a Unique location. Great job EE. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Glad you enjoyed it
That rifle gallery was something very special, so simple in design and contruction, but so effective in combat, as yu ay, they fired off over 6000 rounds. What a wonderful site EE found, and the photo with the door, sent tingles uo my spine. We are so lucky that you can take us along with you on these explores. Looking forward to the next section of the "Touching History" tour. Stay safe and well my friends
yes what a great detail to see and so much work involved. EE did very well with that place and loved it. Thanks my friend and more to come soon :)
Thank you for taking me and Matthew along with you and Eagle Eye!
Our pleasure my friend and we thank YOU for your great support my friend :)
What an awesome position, EE!!! Thank you for sharing these with us!!!❤
You are so welcome!
EE, you did a fantastic job finding and researching this wonderful location. Really enjoyed the before and after photo. Thank you for the tour. Hope all is well and stay safe out there my friends.
Yes EE did so well with that little research discovery. Loved it and EE says hello here next to me and smiling :) Thanks Allen for your incredible support.
@WW2HistoryHunter hello EE, I can't wait for your next adventure. You are doing a great job.
What a site. Can't even imagine 6000 rounds in 2 hrs. The Germans were initially at a disadvantage. Can't believe around 800 soldiers could be positioned there at one time. The hole does look like it might have been blasted by German artillery. Would have liked to see the original big guns there. Thanks for the photos. Good detective work, EE. Wow!! 😮 Took much work and research. So very proud of you. You were at the very spot that made history. Yes, you touched history. Thank you, EE for taking us there. Stay safe. ❤
Yes intense battle for just 2 hours and then silence but what a special feeling that must have been hearing that going on for 2 hours. Thanks Girl and keep smiling :)
Thanks!
That is so kind of you Cynthia and EE says thank you here next to me. Keep smiling and be safe out there.
What an amazing location EE! The rifle gallery is so interesting as well as the gun positions. Well done, I could almost feel my hand going into the hole in the door. Congrats on identifying the exact location. ❤
Yes , what a great place EE found for us. Thanks Beverley for your great support :)
What an amazing battleground! Thank you for reminding us of our history!
Glad you enjoyed it and it is truly a great place to see. Thanks.
That rifle gallery was humongous. It may have looked precarious, but it did withstand the signs of time, so it served its purpose. The old range finder or periscope should have been researched and put in a war museum. Just imagine the battle that went one. A lot of action occurred during that 2 hr period. You did an amazing job researching that famous site EE. We WW2 History Hunter followers appreciate all your hard work. Otherwise, we never would have been able to experience it. We thank you. Looking forward to seeing more adventures. ❤
Yes that place was something else and to see EE touching that door was just ,,touching. Thanks so much for being here with us Laura :)
Can't get any closer to touching history than the HH Team do. Marvelous research that has paid off after all your hard work, well done EE! The shooting gallery is indeed impressive. Looked like there was an observation post / firing control bunker just after the second gun emplacement.
yes we loved to see that and so many interesting details all over the place. Thanks my friend for being here :)
I'm here in the U.S. OKLAHOMA TO BE EXACT enjoy watching this is still before my time but I'm 66 yrs old and still fascinating to learn about History any
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow eagles eye you found an amazing picture and it gave me goosebumps seeing your hand touching the door where the German once officer stood. That really is touching history. EPIC
Yes that image suited the story so well and very happy for that. Thanks my friend.
What an amazing place. Those shooting galleries are just incredible. So much work went into building those unique spaces. Imagine them filled with soldiers defending the fortress from the invading Germans. The noise, the shouting, would have been deafening. It is a shame that the tunnels into the hillside are blocked, but, public safety must come first. It would have been nice to see the 12cm guns in place, but, as you say, at least they are preserved at another fortress. And that's a good thing. And the then and now photo match, actually standing on the spot of those German soldiers, that, is truly Touching History. Thank you EE for putting this all together. And thank you both, for sharing this journey with us! Cheers! Stay Well!
Yes , just a great place to see and we would also have wished the guns were there for all to see. Photo match was totally awesome and cant believe that EE found that. Thanks for watching and for your great support :)
Medieval and earlier military plan that still enables the job to be done. That gallery is a real find that deserves more study. EE, great job on in covering the facility for us to see. Great research!
Yes such a great place and we loved to share that with you :)
What a great location and especially the schuter galary. Thanks EE for the inquiry and the photos are equal to the present tense and location. Also touching history too. Good team together.
EE says thank you here and we agree what a great place to look into and share with you my friend. Loved it and more to come :)
Amazing location guys nice that the history is still out there.
Thanks and more to come :)
Amazing, incredible amount of work to construct that shooting gallery. Thank you both for sharing such incredible history
Appreciated and greetings from us.
Nice video. It always makes my day.
Wow , very kind of you my friend and we thank you for that :)
Great job
Thanks.
Good afternoon from Syracuse NY USA brother and everyone else thank you for sharing your adventures in history
Good morning!
Good afternoon across the Pond
Young EE is really knocking it for six with his research. His eyes of the eagle are spotting some really hard to see sites from the aerial photos, and to have found a photo of the actual location with actual German officers and men is astounding. Well done, EE!
And all I can say is wow! I have never heard of such emplacements, with the rifle galleries. That's such a World War One sort of thing to build lol (or maybe even before). Thank you so much for introducing me to this completely new type of fortification, EE and HH. I will say that seeing the tunnel system blocked off drives me slightly crazy as it just makes me even more curious as to what's down there; I'll bet there's some interesting artifacts still down there, despite the infestation of teenagers in the early ears hehe.
All the best to you two, and this is truly shaping up to be an epic road trip indeed.
yes a very interesting place this is and we will be back as we now know a way in. Thanks my friend :)
Excellent investigation E E. you have a special gift for finding history. Keep up the wonderful work you do. ❤✌️👍
We loved to find and share that and EE did so well. Thanks Robert :)
The picture and the live site at the end was really great! 👍
Thanks so much!
Thank you both for your hard work and EE For his dedication and research for sharing WWII history. My PC took a dirt nap, lol so I'm trying not to miss any of your videos on my phone until I repair it. As always " Good Hunting "
Be carefult with you PC and you will enjoy more my friend :) Thanks for your great support.
Well done EE and History Hunter team ❤
That rifle gallery seemed to go on forever!
Crazy looking structure.
Thank you for sharing that awesome location.
Yes such a great place Casey and glad we could share that with you :)
There you are! I was wondering what was up because of the gap in posts. Good job EE in linking the photo to the site! Plus, this is a cool site overall!
Thanks again!
What an absolutely mind blowing location ,the shooting gallery took my breath away. Matching that door and photo was pure genius detective work by EE ,the Sherlock Holmes of History Hunting!! Great to see him literally touching history .HH you must be very proud of your son.👍❤
Yes that image was so cool to see there. Thanks and more to come :)
What a great location, Eagle Eye's amazing you n your dad found the door in your picture.
Yes William it was such a great explore. Just loved it and thanks :)
Thanks for the upload, so fun.
Glad you enjoyed it
Very unique location ! EE sure does good work , excellent video guys
Thank you very much!
Wow EE what a site! I see two of your fingers are bandaged I do hope you were not hut badly. I am amazed that after over 100 years those rifle galleries are still standing, with having no mortar in them. I look forward to more of this tour. Stay safe much love from Canada.
Great place. EE just scraped his finger so we just wanted to prevent the small scratches getting dirty. All is 100 % well on his fingers today. Took just a few days to heal. Thanks my friend and greetings from us.
@@WW2HistoryHunter Ah that is good to hear.
Yes happy with that. I think EE wanted to have the wounded soldiers look for a few days just to be cool as he waved his fingers in front of camera all day long out there :)
I have never seen anything like that before that is the most amazing machine gun position i have ever seen
It is very interesting and loved to see the details there ad the rifle gallery is so cool. Thanks for being here :)
That is a massive defensive stronghold. Well done Eagle eyes. While most kids are glued to playing their PlayStation and tiktok this young man is bringing us history, education and enjoyment
Yes EE did very well and we thank you for being here with us.
Hi guys! 👋 i like checking out your videos. Been watching them for some years now. Really like the content it nice to see! Cool 😎
Awesome! Thank you!
Brilliant stuff
Well done wee man
We thank you for that and greetings from us.
Would have been cool to have you around when I was stationed in Germany in the early 90’s.
Thanks for watching.
That was a classic! Fantastic documentary evidence in real-time, that must have taken some investigation - but what an outcome, just unbelievable! The gallery was like a Doctor Who set, except they did it with mirrors to make it look endless. Truly stunning detective work, thanks EE and HH from the UK!
Agree , what a great place to see and EE did very well on that research part there. Just loved it and glad we could share with you :)
What an awesomeplace, I have never seen anything like it. There must be a way to access the underground parts 😎
There is , we learned that later by a local elderly and when we pass through this area again we shall for sure have a look inside :) Thanks my friend.
WOW!! I can't imagine the time that was spent to make that "fortress". All those granite type rocks used,the bricks for the roof, oh my gravy!!! I loved seeing that; very different and unique. AND, very nice EE on finding that photo and locating the same door from it!! Imagine the history; you are now history with that picture!! Oh, it kinda looked like that 2nd door you went before the last was open slightly???? Hmmmmmmm, my interest is peaked lol. Thanks for such an amazing fortress/adventure. Can't wait to see what else lies with this "Touching Tour" road trip. Stay well and safe...always, smile....until then.................................................................
Yes EE did so well finding the location and that photo is just so amazing to see. All openings are concrete shut behind the steel doors. Great explore and thanks for being here Colleen :)
I'm so glad to see that you were able to do the tour, and I'm happy to see Eagle Eyes touching history can't wait to see more videos.
More to come Jacob and thanks for being here :)
Brilliant research by EE and location. Thank you both for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it and we appreciate your great support my friend :)
Fantastic and wow very big shooting gallery thanks for taking us with you 😎
Loved that and thanks for being here :)
That rifle gallery tunnel just kept going and going! Very simple construction but apparently quite effective as the Germans found out. Shame they sealed up part of the tunnel system but can understand with kids constantly breaking in there. Glad you were able to get into the rifle gallery at least. Was interesting to see it from the inside and how it was constructed plus getting views from the firing ports.
Yes a very impressive feature that is and we have never seen anything like it. Must have taken so much effort to build and so glad it is still there. Thanks from us and be safe out there :)
Great episode!
Thanks :)
Fantastic location. Loved this . Thanks eagle eyes and history hunter 💜💜💜👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow..yet another fantastic location and thank you for sharing it with us all,been following you guys for a few years now and it just gets better and better 👏all the best from the uk
Awesome, thank you!
Another excellent video, many thanks,
Thank YOU my friend :)
Keep up the great work, I am always amazed how much is still there after all these years.
It would have been great to go into the mountain. Loved the louvers all the way around the hill.
Agreed Larry and such a interesting place that is. Thanks my friend :)
Very interesting location. Great stuff you two.
Thank you so much Garry :)
I love history videos
Good to know and thanks :)
I could almost feel that door myself. Very interesting installation. Who is actually responsible for its construction? Not the typical German structure.
Yes it is such a interesting place and we loved to see and share that. Thanks and more to come :)
Fantastic!
Appreciated my friend :)
ty HH and EE. great video. just wanted to let you know mom did well with her triple bypass.
I’ve never seen anything like this before. So many rifle slots. I wonder is this location was overwhelmed by the number of Germans attacking here or ran out of ammunition. The whole time you were walking in the rifle tunnels, I was think I’d like to metal detect inside and around these rifle slots. May find a cartridge case or an item from a soldier. Lookin at the gun locations you can tell that they were big guns. It was amazing that Eagle Eyes found that picture and it matched up to the door. Am so happy that Eagle Eyes got to touch that piece of history. Great job doing the research and making your dream come true and sharing it with us Eagle Eyes.
Yes a very special place this is and we loved finding that and share it with you :)
Very nice video👍
Thanks for visiting
Thanks
Very kind my friend and will come in very handy in future explores. Thanks from us and greetings to you.
Just found your channel, Love it!!! Wish you could have gotten into the underground passages.
Welcome aboard and thanks for being here :)
I LOVE THIS EPISODE
Thanks for that :)
Thanks! A little something for the journey.
Very kind of you my friend and we thank you for your kindness. Greetings from us.
yes History Hunter don't skip got whiplash when you did the here-and-now photos we were looking at Canun gun on top of a hill
Loved that moment there for sure. Thanks my friend for being here with us :)

Vilken bra video 👍
We thank you for that and greetings from us.
I love your videos
Thank you :)
Very cool
Thanks for watching.
Hi history, hunters merry Christmas happy new year to you would like to tell you first of all some bad news the past month. I have been unsubscribed four times to your RUclips channel. Your channel has been wonderful to watch. I’ve watched for years I’ve watched Eagle eye grow from a small child to a young man. Love your information and your insights. Looking forward to your underwater tour.
Thank you so much and Happy New Year from us :)
God bless you hh and ee love y'all ty for adventure
Appreciated and greetings from us.
INCREDIBLE to find that exact location. WELL DONE EAGLE EYES investigator. Such a shame the guns have been stolen.
Lovely place to look into and glad we did. Thanks :)
So is there anyway you can get into that mountain and see the tunnels. Seeing inside would be awesome.
Well we did get to speak to a elderly gentleman who told us how to get in so who know what could happen later :) Thanks.
AWESOME to see the same door 80 years later !!!!
We agree and loved to see that. Thanks.
14:55 the metal plates are hatches for these square holes.they ate hinged in and locked against shrapnel from above there. (My guess)
ok and thanks for watching :)
They look like that, don't they?
Sleep well and stay healthy all of you.
They do indeed. Thanks for taking interest and for being here :)
@@WW2HistoryHunter History is important. Thank you for your hunting.
Hi
Hello to you my friend :)
Cool awesome place to touch history EE & HH 👍🏻👍🏻💙💛
Thanks 👍Could you please mail us your address so we can ship something special out to you my friend :)
@@WW2HistoryHunter HH, I already emailed you some weeks ago when my name was picked 📯📧
@@glennwhittaker197 I have now looked all the way back to August in my mails and i cannot find that anywhere my friend. Could you be so kind to send that to our mail please so we can ship it off to you :)
Nice work 😅
Thank you so much 😀
Always interesting
Thanks.
What a placement
Yes what a great place that is. Thanks for being here with us Karl :)
Tak!
Very kind of you my friend and it is greatly appreciated. Greetings from us and be safe out there :)
Did they have bunk beds in the Fort
At some they had yes and here we think they had that. Thanks for watching.
where is this? what is the name of the fortress?
Locations ar not given. Thanks for watching.
I may have overlooked this but i heard you mention "local army" a few times. Im confused as to tge location.... Russian local army, French local army?
Thanks for watching.
OK THATS NICE BUT WHO WAS DEFENDING IF THE GREAT GERMAN ARMY WAS ATTACKING AGAIN 😮.
Thanks for watching.
V cool guys you must be a proud dad😏
I am for sure and thanks my friend for being here :)
nice video.
Okay dude, now instead of some poor "dude" carrying bags of cement up a nasty incline, now you've got (in 1902) some poor dude being forced to move cut blocks of rock into place (not about wet cement anymore or bags of gypsum) and each block looks to be a good size and weight. 1902 technology (model T) and later, not 2023.
Thanks for watching.
