Lost place with so many ww2 guns and bunkers still there.
A must see :)
Amazing finds. Nice to see the guns still in place after all these years. Now we know what the guns look like when you find "empty" gun placements and describe what could have been there. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures. Stay safe.
Indeed so and thanks Lisa :)
I have been enjoying your channel. It is so important to keep this history alive. Keep up the good work. We in the USA still have many locations left from WWII thinking we were going to be invaded by Japan, (in particular along our West Coast from California to Washington State). In any event, keep up the good work, for WWII History Buffs like me, this is nothing more than stellar. Good work! Your channel is literally a video museum. Keep it up!
Appreciated Shane and greetings from us.
Seeing those guns is amazing thank you for showing us. Your channels amazing!
Appreciate you watching.
Another great video. Thank you sir. When I was a child many parks had guns from WW2 in them as memorials. Often they were British 17 or 25 pounder anti tank and howitzer guns. Occasionally they were Oilerkon anti aircraft guns, but every now and then one would have a captured 88mm from North Africa. Many of them still were able to lay and train, but all had their breech blocks removed and the barrel blocked. Now most are gone and those left are welded solid for public safety. Seeing one in its original position is something special to me. Again I thank you for your work.
Great place and loved to share it with you :)
Those guns were really cool! I'm glad you have the time and means to share them with us. Good luck on your next adventure! I can't wait for your next video.
Appreciated my friend and more to come :)
Another great segment to this complex. For those interested this is what the gun tag translates as:
Distance of the line of sight from the soul axis
Vertical: 459 mm, deviation: 0 mm
Horizontal: 680 mm, deviation: 0 mm
The term used on line of sight is interesting, since a lot of the German vocabular changed after 1945 I wonder about the word 'Seelenachse'. Did you check the bore it looks like an 88mm.
Take care of yourself. Stay safe out there and regards to the family.
No didnt check the bore as we were totally knackered and dead tired and thirsty :) Thanks William
@@petermoller2085 Thank you for the information Peter. It didn't look right for an 88mm and naval guns seemed to be more common on costal defense for the Germans. Getting to fire one would be neat.
Really Enjoying this stuff!!! Thank You!!
Greatly appreciated and greetings from us.
What a fantastic episode. To see those guns in place where usually we just see the mounting bolts is FANTASTIC. I bet they're clearing the area for tourists. Just wanna say thank you, thank you I am so impressed. 👍👍
The Europeans don't place any value on WW2 battle sites. They're not like Civil War sites in America, which also, for that matter, are increasingly controversial.
Thanks for watching.
Loving this mini series! Amazing content! :)
Thanks DJ :)
Awesome finds. A nice surprise seeing the guns still at that location. Thanks for taking us there HH. Stay safe.
Loved it and thanks for being here Laura :)
Another amazing video, thank you!!

Totally blown away with this location, thank you for bringing them to us and for putting up with the mozzy's. Be safe guys
Glad to read that Colin and thanks.
Amazing as usual HH & EE. Thanks for showing us an amazing set of videos on an incredible defensive position. I’m looking forward to the next videos.
Coming soon!
Thanks again for another great glimpse into the past. Enjoyed it!
Glad you enjoyed it

Great Video , unbelievable find , ! ! Keep up the great work !
Thanks, will do!
Your still making fantastic videos for us. Some of these places are amazing to find a gun in that condition and amazing. We are loving all your videos and 2021 will be your best year i know you have a lot of stuff planned for us all 👊👍👏👏💯
Appreciated David and greetings from us.
Another great production. You and your family are so good at this!
Thanks Anthony and greetings from us.
Very interesting artifacts if only they could talk.Strange how intact items are placed or left where they can't really be seen being most likely isolated or on private land. I distinctly recall seeing large concrete bunkers on the reverse slopes along the Normandy coast when I was there, no way our tour host was ever going to stop to let us look. Myself and another chap were always holding everyone up looking at relics.
Thats why I travel on my own or with a friend, we can go and see stuff, on the Normandy beaches there are bunkers over looking the bunkers, miles of them,I saw some at Dover recently, didnt even know they existed till a mate showed me
Great location it is and glad we shared it with you David. More to come soon you know :)
Wow, huge gun pits on top of bunkers and to top it all two pits with the huge powerful guns still there for us to see and experience. A great last video in this series of an amazing fortification site. So enjoyed it all. Thank you HH and EE.
yes a great location it is and thanks for comment and for watching Beverley :)
Wonderful Video!
Thank you very much!
Thank you for this lot of video's, I think they just get better, more interesting, but you take care of yourself and keep safe. Dave.
Thank you, I will and greetings from us.
Loving all your recent videos.
Thanks for that :)
Thanks for showing us the declination degrees on the guns. Fascinating all that went into firing one of them.
Appreciated Stephanie :)
Awesome story. Sorry you fell ill again. Take care. And those guns really gives you a picture of those empty ones. That you so again for your work.
Thanks Bill and greetings from us.
Thankyou for all your hard work. A fantastic set of six super videos. Very enjoyable and entertaining.
Glad you like them!
definitely a beautiful site, looks like they chopped down most of the trees recently so it would've appeared much differently with vegetation surrounding everything, certainly more luscious and natural topography. thanks again for sharing your adventures with us. I'm amazed that the wooden flooring was still intact and the 88mm flak guns were still there also. considering how many sites you never see any left over from then, it's really a great treat to see them as they originally were. thanks again guys.
very glad you liked it and thanks Michael.
Incredible to see that gun still exists in that position. Thank you and EE for spending a day in this area taking us through all the bunkers and gun emplacements. Hope all is well and can't wait for the next location.
Appreciated Allen and greetings from us.
You do a great job finding these sites. I find your videos interesting.
Glad you like them!
That was a brilliant 6 part series, keep up the good work. Can’t wait to see what you get up to next 👍
Thanks a ton!
Excellent video. Thank you. 👍🏻
Glad you liked it!
Awesome to see the guns still in place 😁 this may be the first time I have ever commented but I have been enjoying your videos for a long time now . Not only have I enjoyed many many adventures with you but it has been cool to actually see eagle eyes growing up along the way too 😁 , he has actually grown a lot since I first started watching your videos lol. Thank you so much for taking all of us along with you to the places most of us will never get to see in person . I really appreciate all that you do to bring all of these forgotten places and things back into the light. Ww2 history hunter , eagle eyes and bunker buster girl , you guys keep up the fantastic work of bringing history back to life for the rest of us 😁. Thank you so very much !!!!!!
We thank you a lot for your kind comment and for taking time to enjoy our adventures. Very glad to read that. Greetings from us and be safe.
Wow fantastic video as always
Thanks again!
Loved it!!! Thank you!!!!
Thanks Tommy :)
Fantastic finds! Cheers for sharing this :)
Thanks for watching!
@@WW2HistoryHunter always brother :)
Wow incredible site thanks for sharing. Cant wait to see what world war wonders you have for us next.👍
We have tons of exciting stuff coming up :)
So cool! I love seeing the firing solution calculator thing on the gun.
Agree and thanks for that :)
I hope you go back through these amazing bunkers with your super flashlight when your feeling better as it feels like we’ve missed out on some great things . But thanks for brilliant series on this location
I hope so too!
Love your channel. Reminds me of when i was stationed in Zweibruecken and spent my weekends visiting the different forts of the Maginot line. Great fun. Also where Guderian and Rommel crossed the Meuse and Eben Emael and Normandy. Keep up the good the good work!
That's awesome and thanks for watching.
Thanks for the great videos I watch them all, 👍
Glad you like them!
@@WW2HistoryHunter cheers for the replay nice to know you read the comments and realise people appreciate your videos
great vidio ! allways enjoy your vidios ! thanks for doing what you do !
Thanks Martin :)
The two of you holding hands and swinging while off to another WW2 history adventure sure warms the heart. Boy what finds you two came upon. The first Regelbau was huge with the ammunition storage and of course well constructed and laid out. The barracks site by the looks of it had all the creature comforts possible for the German soldiers, under the circumstances. It does look like a wash basin/table and water tank. Knowing the Germans, they found a way to get it to work. Yes, that was quite a set of steps. Mother nature has a way of taking over for sure, but there is still lots for us to see. The other bunker with the two entranceways was also huge with the gun placement on top. That's a relief that you two were able to get cooled off a bit in the bunker. Sorry to hear that you were bitten by some nasty insect and didn't feel well after. I wonder what happened to the bunker oven. Maybe someone is using it or it was put in a museum. It wouldn't be the most comfortable for the soldiers during the winter with the severe cold temps. The huge guns were beautiful and in excellent condition. They most likely saw a lot of action. Were they SKC/32's? I would hope that they will be preserved and maybe placed in a museum. Again thanks for all your research, travelling and exploring in order to bring WW2 history for all of us to enjoy. Continue to stay safe and yes keep smiling.
During 2 days we walked more then 20 000 steps , drank around 10 l of fluids and walked for more then 15 hours in 28-30 C out in nature. Well worth it and thanks Laura :)
Thank you guys
Appreciated Jon
These have been marvellous and educational videos, with lots of WOW moments. I've thoroughly enjoyed watching these episodes. Huge thanks to you and to Eagle Eyes for your hard work in bringing this area to a wider audience. What are you going to do for an encore?
this was a lot of work Sue and we loved doing it. You just wait and see , lots more coming up :)
This was one of the best video series' that you have done, really fantastic! Hard to believe that there are 2 guns still there. Could that possibly still be the original paint on them after so many decades?? Thanks again
Thank you for the kid words and more to come.
Great job, appreciate your effort.
So nice of you
This has been a great series in great location WW2HH! Seeing those guns in place was really something. I am always fascinated by the scope of the German fortifications along the Atlantic Wall and other locations, and the amount of construction that was carried out for a defence system that was used in only a few areas during the war.
Being involved in the building industry here in Australia, I have an understanding of the construction works that was required to complete some of these fortifications, and the difficulties encountered due to the remote locations of some.
I know that forced labour was used extensively to build the majority of these fortifications, I can only guess at the difficulties they encountered, and treatment they suffered under an oppressive regime.
That the evidence of their labour are still here for us to admire 75 years later is an incredible achievement.
Keep the adventures coming; we all wait in anticipation.
Will do Gary and appreciate your support my friend.
Thanks!
That is so kind of you my friend and will come in handy out there exploring :) Greetings from us.
It’s great seeing the guns still in place it makes it more real.
So true and thanks.
Incredible adventures you post ❤️ All your Vlogs. Fabulous family BBG, EE and of course the heart and soul Papa HH.
Thanks so much!

Appreciate you watching and comment my friend.
Amazing finds and guns, please take care of yourself. We need to have you healthy to find these awesome locations
Will do my friend and greetings from us.
Totally cool stuff ...that is wild that the guns still remain rusting in the sun ..such a shame ...thanks for the video Historyhunters!!!
Thanks Charles
Wow! That was one cool tour. Never seen one in person. That is one precision detailed gun. It looks well preserved. I bet they will make it a tourist stop or a museum piece.😎
Thanks for comment and for watching.
Outstanding video and excellent work by the WW2 History Hunter team. Get well soon from your bug bite.
Thanks and greetings from us
Awesome.keep exploring.👍
Stay safe 👍
Thank you, I will
What an amazing find

I love the guns thanks HH ,EE for all y’all do for us ! Well I’m 61 years young when I see the guns like that all I want to do is climb on them . That would be great thanks for taking me back !!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
We appreciate that my friend and i climb on them all the time :) Great to have you here Mark and we appreciate your great support my friend :)
Great video, would love to tour this location. Thanks for the effort.
Glad you enjoyed it
Another interesting video...Thank you..
Thanks George
Wow. Those bunkers and those guns were all so awesome! That first bunker was really big for ammo storage. Do you know what size guns those were? The rock work and engineering on that site was just incredible. While it's heartbreaking to see all of those trees cut down, it is cool that it opened the way for you to see that site. Will that site be maintained at all? Thanks so much for sharing your passion and your adventures with us all. Please keep the outstanding videos coming and God bless you and your family, my friend!
Forest is cut down to keep more open area , very typical all over Europe to do this. Thanks for watching.
Another excellent video amazing to see the guns in great condition for their age amazing complex 😀
oh yes and there will be a special edition episode for you Patrons to enjoy soon :)
I really appreciate your videos, my uncle Johnny served in WW 2 and freed people from death camps and still has a hard time talking about it ✌🏻🇺🇸👍🏻
