Wow , that is very kind of you my friend and so appreciated. That will come in handy in future planned crazy tours :) Thanks so much and greetings from us :)
WOW, what a fascinating experience. I want to thank your friend for getting you access to show this location. So lucky to see the guard positions, what a privilege. Thank you and EE so much for this opportunity to see something not many people would get the chance to. Take care and keep smiling my friends.
The reason for these empty 'halls' is that they were a part of the protection. If you leave empty cavities in the roof, bombs will explode partly in empty air and release the pressure. It's cheaper to make than having a solid concrete.
Incredible honor to have accompanied you and EE into the submarine pen. Your friend is very generous to take you in there and allow you to film. Looks totally different when you are down at the bottom of the pen looking upwards.
This had to be super special for an old submariner like yourself! That facility is amazing, and it was only one of several wow! Thanks to you, EE and especially your friend for taking us on this explore!
HH, please pass on to your friend how grateful we all are, for guiding you guys through this amazing structure, and allowing us all the privilege to see what very few have ever seen. And most especially to see such rare sights, as the corner guard position, and the whole sub pen from the bottom, the top, and, the dry dock gate. I doubt very few have ever seen it all like this, and very, very, few have ever seen the guard post , or been able to play with the shutters! Thank you both for taking the time, and effort, to share this incredible location with us. Hoepfully, the developers nver get their way, and this structure remains as it it, so be seen by many future History Hunters for a long time yet. Cheers to you both!
My father was a merchant marine Ship Captain. The U Boats never hit his ship when on convoy. He wanted to be a fighter pilot but he was stuck being a Captain on a ship. Later he got a new ship and spent the rest of the war in the Pacific.I spent my life at sea never wanted to do anything else. Seeing your shows are great I enjoy them all. When I was young I spent months at Dutchharbor it was in 1960 the Navy left everything when they left after the war. I remember the submarine base there I would explore all of the old military positions on the Island. It was still mined in some places so you had to stay out. When I was fishing and doing salvage work I worked with men that were in the German military as well as for the allies. Everyone got along well they were part of history and it was a privilege to know them all.
That's one WILD building! You can just tell the walls are thick from the outside. It's more protected than buildings of government of the time. What a great video! Thanks for taking us along to see this piece of history.
What an amazing position! I'm so glad you had an awesome friend who gave you access to this place. The guard tower is really something wonderful to see!❤
It wasn't until you and EE went down the stairs to the bottom of the pen that I really got a sense of the size of this place. Amazing that you received permission to tour the place and were able to document it!!! That gate folds!!! Crazy!! Pics of the U-Boats in the place was great to see. Top corner visitor and the shutter moved!! Awesome! What a huge area for storage and workshops! Soldier footprints in the concrete from the construction who probably were watching over the workers as they put n the concrete, set forever for us to see! Great stuff!!
Indeed Donald this place is just amazing to experience and we loved to be there. EE was so happy to get one of his dreams come true. Thanks for your great support :)
Hitler built this for his thousand years Reich. He meant for it to last. Even with the workers working fast to finish it, it is still standing. It’s a testament to the impressive work of people of this time. I wonder if the square cutouts in the walls were attachment point for equipment to build this huge structure? I do hope developers don’t get their way and try to destroy this historical site. Thanks to your friend for allowing you to share this amazing site.
Wow! Absolutely incredible, thank you for taking us on such incredible experiences! Please keep up your incredible work of finding everything and showing it to the rest of us! Thanks
This place is amazing to see! Then when you put the old pictures up of the U boats in the dry dock it puts everything I Into prespective. Don't think you could get 4 submarines today. Really cool to see this place and shout out to your friend for the VIP tour!! Thank you and thank you for sharing with us!!
Amazing video. To be walking where German workers were maintaining the U-boats 80 years ago. Having the blocks that were placed under the boats still there. What an experience for you and EE. The gun tower was super awesomw
Thank your friend for allowing us to experience that humongous German WW2 Feistel defensive location. That is beyond insane. Can't even imagine the time spent designing and constructing those intricate concrete structures. Yes, just imagine what they would have looked like back in the day. Thanks for the photos so we can envision. Those steel iron boot imprints were something to see. Definitely, looked like they were in a hurry to complete. You could go on and on in that one building. Brings back memories for you HH having been a sub sonar operator. Another dream came true for EE. How exciting is that. Thank you HH and EE. Stay safe. 💕
Once in a lifetime it was for us seing that. Loved it and Eagle Eyes got one of his dreams come true. Thanks so much for your INCREDIBLE support Girl and keep dancing :)
Magnificent getting into the machine gun guard nest! So happy you realized your dream and could share with us! Also loved the boot prints! Great tour filled with marvelous and scary features!
Fascinating to see this! May 6, 1945 the last German U-Boat (or 2nd to last) U-853 was sunk off the coast here in Rhode Island. All 55 crew members are still in the hull with the exception of 1 which some recreational diver decided to bring up. It was built in Bremen in yard number 1059
@@TerryKnight-hw3pg That is correct. It was back in the 50’s or 60’s and is the only soldier from the crew interred in Newport, RI with full military honors. After that the government made it illegal to free dive the U-boat
I went to the massive bunker in Bremen when I lived in Germany back in 2018 and snuck into an off limits area. There was still a bunch of contruction debris left there from the end of the war just thrown into a pile. Cool to see. You should go there.
I know I seem to say it about every new video, but seriously, this has to be one of your best so far lol. You immersed us in the history of the Battle of the Atlantic, which is truly mind blowing to see. My dad was on both merchant ships and in the Royal Navy during that time, so there is a connection here. I'm blown away by the size and extent of those buildings. And the mechanics of filling and evacuating those docks is also fascinating. Thanks to you, EE and your mate for bringing that to us!
I was in Italy and went to a big port used by their military the scale was something else like you experienced, those buildings were designed to withstand a lot and have stood the test of time for sure.
TOTALLY AWESOME!!! Experiencing such is once in a lifetime, especially for those who will never or can not go in person!!! With all those rooms, one can only imagine what each one was used for, the sizes,etc. BIG thank you on showing us this amazing site!!! Much enjoyed. Take care.
I was a Radioman on the USS Michigan SSBN 727 an Ohio Class Trident submarine. This is really interesting to me too. Can't imagine being on one of the old diesel boats.
Until 1995, a submarine bunker in Hamburg's Vulkanhafen harbour still housed three submarines. They were largely cannibalised by the British and then the bunker was to be blown up. However, this did not work out as planned. The structure was too massive. Sand was then filled in in 1995. At the beginning of the 2000s, the remains were blown up again with moderate success and then further demolished. Today, the entire volcanic harbour has been filled in and a car park has been built on the buried bunker remains along with the submarines.
I was in that bunker, Elbe 2, before the sand and demolition. I had interviewed Gerhard Thater, the skipper of the one with the bunker section fallen on its tower. I took a lot of pictures and shot video. One of these days I will edit them together and post them here.
Even better, make it into a museum. If there was a submarine of that time period to have placed in it along with other articles of the submarine warfare. Now, that would be something to see.
Well, that was quite the explore. Awesome that your friend could give you/us a special tour. 😀 You have so many friends and connections. It would be nice if the locals could make some use of those structures and preserve them. An awful lot of work was put into the construction of those buildings. You don't see many buildings built like that in modern times. Be careful HH climbing around those historical sites. Thanks for taking us there, HH & EE. ❤❤
I live in Sweden and work with heat-pumps, i was to a new customer to install a heat-pump and was amazed of the building, it was a large villa next to the sea and everything was made of concrete, the construction looked like the U-boat bunker, and when I asked about the former owner i was told that the guy was from Ukraine and had been building U-boat bunkers in Germany in the second world war!
Now that was MASSIVE! What a unique explore, thanks guys, must have been great place to visit, that a treat. You were so excited to see that guard position :D haha love it : )))))))
Amazing video, as always! Thanks for sharing! A friend and I went to the largest U-boat facility of Germany: the Valentin submarine factory in Bremen. You are so totally right that it is hard to imagine how large the building really is. So impressive! And so amazing you were able to see all the secrets. That guard tower in the top corner… wow, just wow! Thanks so much for sharing!
That was so great that your friend was able to get you so much access inside of the U-boat pen. It was so amazing to see all those areas especially the guard tower area. I can see why the video was so long with all that there was to cover there. Definitely a fun one to watch. So sad that it can possibly be gone in a decade due to development! P.S. Don't blame you for wanting to take the Kriegsmarine U-boat sailor's uniform item to the grave. What a great thing to have and how wonderful it was for that family to give it to you.
I love your explore video! That place is massive! 😮 Camera doesn't do it justice! Just subbed! 😎 Wish I could do this but I am disabled and poor! From Oklahoma with love! 💙👍
Another very interesting video you guys I hope all is well with you and your history hunting family I can't wait for the next great exploration Until then I hope that you and eagle eyes stay safe and keep smiling
Hiya HH team 👋🏻🫵🏻🫵🏻👍🏻👍🏻👋🏻 I’ve said it before but…..WOW WOW WOWZA 😮 Thank you for bringing us to an amazing place guys! I’d liked to have seen over the other side of the submarine pen gate on the water side, so you can see how high it is compared to the dry dock. Awesomeness HH & EE 👍🏻👍🏻 See you soon 🇬🇧🫶🏻🇳🇴
Well we really loved to be there ad EE got one of his dreams come through and you helped to make that come true. Thanks my friend and greetings from us :)
Wow! this is awesome and something rare to see....I hope you and Eagle-Eyes are having a great time on all these adventures.. Living History!! thanks so much for the journey
G'day from an ex australian submariner engineering, fascinating the build capabilities of the German Kreigsmarine to support their submarines, Karl definately had skills but eventually we all know the history the sad loss of all the brave men that servered in submarines that lost their lives for their country as a fellow ex submariner great respect to you as a brother in Unterseeboot
Hello to the History Hunting Crew.. Thank you for bringing us something new. It is an amazing U base. It is asinine how large this places foot print has to be. Thanks again for the amazing views and peek at history. You would think a facilities that size would be used completely for something today. Take care and stay safe!
Those indentations which were seen in the side walls could be where one put lengths or wooden or steel props to shore up the boat and make it steady ? Great video 📹 and many thanks to your friend who made this possible.
I would love to see how they set the blocks to support the u-boats, and how they used the upper floors for , Thank for the tour of this fascinating facility HH And EE.
Such a fantastic explore and a great follow up to a previous video to actually have a friend to let you come inside and make it come full circle ! And fulfill your dream of seeing the inside of the guard tower section too ! Because of your past service as a submariner to show your son about this must be really exciting to share with him . I also found these before as well . I wonder if on your "Off time" you and EE went Bowling and had some fun too lol . Love it , and hope all is well my friends !
Awesome video once again. This video is so much better than watching a documentary on television. With you and Eagle Eyes we get the Raw action right here and now feeling. Great work to you both, I love it. If the Germans built it, you know it will be very Awesome Very Cool and last for a very very very long time.
Very much enjoyed this video, the heel marks , and the guard tower And they possibly getting rid of it in years to come , one word why , Hide the past , very sad
The system used is similar to the Pedestrian Underpass that are under Railway Stations for getting the water out when it gets flooded. The floor is slopped to the center where there is a deep pit with what's called a submersible pump that when turned on, pumps the water out into the gutter on the street above.
Another one that is incredibly neat to see is the giant bunker that had been built to essentially act as a final assembly factory for the Type XXI Uboats. I don't remember exactly how many would have been in there at one time in various stages of final assembly, it was something like 17 boats between the first stage and the final stage just before they would sail out to sea. But it is a neat place to see. It had never been fully completed, and the roof has some... what you might refer to as "wartime redecorating". It's just kind of nuts how big of a construction it is. And really fascinating all around.
Guard corner was pretty basic but effective for MG34 and MG42's I was hoping you would go up there and you did, it takes a curious man to investigate what's behind a wall or door. In some ways the U Bunker is like a Veste with openings for shooting arrows from many angles. The war was a proving ground for German ingenuity.
I always enjoy your videos. It's so encouraging to see how EE is growing and learning at your side. I can agree that the Germans had brilliant engineers, and often good designs. But as a U.S. citizen of 72 years, my Father fought in WWII against the Axis powers. Please keep in mind that many of us have family members that were wounded or died in the conflict. My Uncle Corwin was shot down and killed in a bombing run over Germany. When I think of the enslavement of thousands and thousands of workers, the many death camps & the Holocaust; I just can't be so enthusiastic at what they built. But I always learn from your videos, and I appreciate that.

Fascinating to see this! May 6, 1945 the last German U-Boat (or 2nd to last) U-853 was sunk off the coast here in Rhode Island.
All 55 crew members are still in the hull with the exception of 1 which some recreational diver decided to bring up. It was built in Bremen in yard number 1059
Thanks for sharing and for watching.
A recreational diver brought up a body from a U boat ?
@@TerryKnight-hw3pg That is correct.
It was back in the 50’s or 60’s and is the only soldier from the crew interred in Newport, RI with full military honors.
After that the government made it illegal to free dive the U-boat
@@TommyTheCat42OK, thanks.
I went to the massive bunker in Bremen when I lived in Germany back in 2018 and snuck into an off limits area. There was still a bunch of contruction debris left there from the end of the war just thrown into a pile. Cool to see. You should go there.

Amazing. Thank you guys!
Our pleasure!
Thank you for this episode. Was in awe, the entire vid. Thank you!
appreciated and we thank you for the kind support :)
I know I seem to say it about every new video, but seriously, this has to be one of your best so far lol.

Omg that is massive. Wow. They had power in there heads.
Thanks for watching :)
wow guys, amazing.
thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The amount of concrete used is staggering.
it truly is. Thanks.
And zero carbon footprint but now if you do up your front garden your tax on it
The Germans were so officious you will surely be able to track every kilogram used, back to its source with the payment receipts.
I was in Italy and went to a big port used by their military the scale was something else like you experienced, those buildings were designed to withstand a lot and have stood the test of time for sure.

Wow! this is awesome and something rare to see....I hope you and Eagle-Eyes are having a great time on all these adventures..
Living History!! thanks so much for the journey
Appreciated and greetings from us :)
G'day from an ex australian submariner engineering, fascinating the build capabilities of the German Kreigsmarine to support their submarines, Karl definately had skills but eventually we all know the history the sad loss of all the brave men that servered in submarines that lost their lives for their country as a fellow ex submariner great respect to you as a brother in Unterseeboot
Loved the explore and thanks for comment and for watching.
Hello to the History Hunting Crew.. Thank you for bringing us something new. It is an amazing U base. It is asinine how large this places foot print has to be. Thanks again for the amazing views and peek at history. You would think a facilities that size would be used completely for something today. Take care and stay safe!
Thanks so much :)
@@WW2HistoryHunter Welcome.
Amazing thank you
Our pleasure!
Those indentations which were seen in the side walls could be where one put lengths or wooden or steel props to shore up the boat and make it steady ? Great video 📹 and many thanks to your friend who made this possible.
could be yes. Thanks for watching.
I would love to see how they set the blocks to support the u-boats, and how they used the upper floors for , Thank for the tour of this fascinating facility HH And EE.
Thank YOU for being here :)
Thank you :-)! What a great explore! Not for people afraid of heights (like me, haha)
Extraordinary!!! Thank you for an educational and entertaining video. Your revelations always bring surprising information to light.
You are very welcome
Superb stuff
Thanks a ton
Fabulous! Hats off to you guys.
Thanks
Thanks for sharing history Hunter that was a great trip a blast from the past two thumbs up👍👍 say hello to Eagle eyes
Appreciated and EE says hello here.
Brilliant video 👍👍
Thanks.
Such a fantastic explore and a great follow up to a previous video to actually have a friend to let you come inside and make it come full circle ! And fulfill your dream of seeing the inside of the guard tower section too ! Because of your past service as a submariner to show your son about this must be really exciting to share with him . I also found these before as well . I wonder if on your "Off time" you and EE went Bowling and had some fun too lol . Love it , and hope all is well my friends !
yes such a great explore. Yes we do have tons of fun out there and even played bowling :) Thanks my friend :)
@@WW2HistoryHunter I think maybe you just might have went bowling where I think you might have . . . . . Maybe ? lol
Visited the U boat pens at Bergen and Trondheim a couple of years back . Incredible feats of engineering !
Tanks for watching.
Can I have a tiger or panther please !!!! 😅
Always jealous of what you get to do. This time, just about as jealous as could be!!! Awesome location and video.
Thanks!
Awesome video once again. This video is so much better than watching a documentary on television. With you and Eagle Eyes we get the Raw action right here and now feeling. Great work to you both, I love it. If the Germans built it, you know it will be very Awesome Very Cool and last for a very very very long time.
Glad you enjoyed it!
awesome place , great episode 👍👍👍
Thanks.
Incredible 😮
Thanks for being here :)
👍❤ Incredible WWII History Videos❤👍

So awesome video ❤
Thanks
Very much enjoyed this video, the heel marks , and the guard tower
And they possibly getting rid of it in years to come , one word why ,
Hide the past , very sad
Thanks for watching.
The system used is similar to the Pedestrian Underpass that are under Railway Stations for getting the water out when it gets flooded.
The floor is slopped to the center where there is a deep pit with what's called a submersible pump that when turned on, pumps the water out into the gutter on the street above.
Thanks for watching.
Another one that is incredibly neat to see is the giant bunker that had been built to essentially act as a final assembly factory for the Type XXI Uboats. I don't remember exactly how many would have been in there at one time in various stages of final assembly, it was something like 17 boats between the first stage and the final stage just before they would sail out to sea. But it is a neat place to see. It had never been fully completed, and the roof has some... what you might refer to as "wartime redecorating". It's just kind of nuts how big of a construction it is. And really fascinating all around.
Thanks for watching.
Guard corner was pretty basic but effective for MG34 and MG42's I was hoping you would go up there and you did, it takes a curious man to investigate what's behind a wall or door. In some ways the U Bunker is like a Veste with openings for shooting arrows from many angles. The war was a proving ground for German ingenuity.
It was a fantastic opportunity and we loved to share that with you :)
I always enjoy your videos. It's so encouraging to see how EE is growing and learning at your side. I can agree that the Germans had brilliant engineers, and often good designs. But as a U.S. citizen of 72 years, my Father fought in WWII against the Axis powers. Please keep in mind that many of us have family members that were wounded or died in the conflict. My Uncle Corwin was shot down and killed in a bombing run over Germany. When I think of the enslavement of thousands and thousands of workers, the many death camps & the Holocaust; I just can't be so enthusiastic at what they built. But I always learn from your videos, and I appreciate that.
We thank you for sharing and be very proud of your father. We appreciate you being here and it is a honor to share with you.
Incredable place !!!
It really is!
Very interesting video
Glad you think so!
I watched your shows and Love the History Thanks
Thanks so much :)
Your best video yet.
Well i would say we have hundreds of good videos. Thanks.
