Bunker buster girl would be at the top in record time. However, I am not sure you wouldn’t have had a mental breakdown watching her do it quickly. Great job on making it to the top and going above and beyond by taking the last few steps to see the full view out the turret.
Super Hero Status Achieved Dad!!! Well done guys- I love hearing Eagle Eye and You talk. Its very much like Matthew and I. Can you imagine being the poor German solder who had that detail? Not a very large space to spend your day...
We appreciate that Mike. It is a great part of what we do and bonds us together i feel. Interesting place to say the least. Thanks for your INCREDIBLE support my friend.
I totally feel you on the neuropathy! I have it as well here in Las Vegas , so I had to go with unemployment unfortunately ! But I am getting along with the strength of my girlfriend ! I cannot stand for long periods of time because I’ll loose strength in my legs and my left leg will go numb . I love you guys show it’s so much fun as well as I’ve been watching for years ! Keep up the great adventures and be safe as you guys watch out for each other ! 😎👍🏻🇺🇸🦅😇🙏🏻
We're incredibly proud of you as well, HH. That was a major feat for even a person without your medical condition. And I do remember this location well. I was particularly interested in the bays which must have housed individual communication offices, looking a little like modern office layouts oddly. I do particularly remember that observation post and your reluctance to climb it originally, which I did understand, but also disappointed me lol. And now you've been back to let us see what remains, and it's fantastic. I'm particularly amazed to see the spanner still there - I"m sure it must be original, unless someone put it there while they were disassembling something in there many years later. I will say that you are doing the right thing by constantly challenging yourself and refusing to move less because of pain in your legs. Your mother sounds like she was a truly great person herself, and its awesome that you're instilling it in your kids. All the best to the whole HH family 🙂
Scary indeed, well done and no room for error ! Can't imagine climbing up in that turret and hanging in that confined little compartment for most of the day ! Thank you for doing this and stay safe 🙏
So proud of you brother. Working through your pain, not even for us but for YOU. I love you for that. Many people I know would turn into potatoes but you keep going. EE is a lucky Boy to have a father like you.
Congratulations on your dream. Looking forward to seeing more history. You couldn't get me up there. Their was fire tower nearby I only made it less than halfway up before I had to go back down. Tower is gone now. My oldest daughter went to the top. She was probably around 9 or 10 at the time. She is 41 now. 😎❤️👍✌️
I am so very proud of you!!! My heart was in my throat throughout the entire climb, but you did it!!! And EE was a great spotter! You guys are awesome!!!❤
Great job HH, I knew you could do it. Didn't look like fun but you did not surrender. Definitely looked like it would have been difficult to climb even when it was in use. Thank you for taking us up.
I'm a painter And gets crazy climbing up 36 foot extention ladders. Especially when it settles. Ha haa. The " I'm going to die" goes through your head. Ha ha. Cheers, Skål!
HEY, GUY'S ... WOW, Congratulations I Can't Believe you went All the way to the Top of the turret Don't know what It was Built for but it Was so cool and I'll tell you you Were crazy for Climbing all the Way up there you where so Crazy for doing that I Give Both of you Guys a 👍✌️ for Doing that But Thank you for being wild and Crazy guy's Ok Take care and Stay safe on all your Travels guys 👍✌️🤘👊 Mark.D Barre, Vt 🇺🇸
10 out of 10 for effort with that one, crazy overhang for the second ladder, imagine trying to get up that in a hurry. The adjustable spanner was marked Sibille, who are a French tool manufacturer, so not likely from the era. It was a 1000V rated spanner for electrical work, which also doesn't seem to fit in with the turret.
Fantastic effort! HH, proud of you for climbing all that way, and making that last amazing climb to the turret itself! Great work! Would have hated to have been the soldier tasked with going up and down that ladder every day. That tube running around under the turret is probably a weighted counter-balance, to make turning the whole thing by hand easier. The bolt holes around the openings are where the hinged armoured plug was fitted, so you could seal it up if under fire. Shame about that spanner. It was probably one of the tools that someone used to remove the turret plugs and other fittings "way back when". And what it fell into looked like it might have been some form of heater for the turret. Possibly using "Esbit" heating tablets. God knows it would have been freezing in there during winter. Again, fantastic work HH! Absolutely fantastic. And thank you both for making the effort to make this happen! Definitely a once in a lifetime experience! Cheers to you both! Stay Well!
As long as the video was of you trying to get up there, I didn’t think you were going to make it. Great job challenging yourself and accomplishing your goal. Would have loved to of gotten a better look at that wrench. So happy you were able to return to this location. Also happy that you are showing Eagle Eyes that if you do proper planning and take all the safety precautions, anything is possible. So happy you both are safe.
Fantastic job, my friend. I was waiting for you to repel down. I wonder if they had bolt-in optics that came back to the center post since it had a flange. Did you remember to measure the height of the shaft? Looking at the design, some parts are missing, such as the large center tube at the base. Research time. This was a great video; I remember the first time even walls were more intact. Great job, HH and EE. Be well and safe.
Thus is a very brave thing you did thank you for you and ee do to bring these places to us i have neurological problems my also but i do not let stop me just keep going do notlet it stop you
that was awsome it must be your most difficult one to get the full acess to the top and most dangerous , but knew you would do it. huge respect to you hh and eagle eyes he was also doing a great job looking out for you, not a lot of grumpy old men would never think of doing half of what you eagle eyes and bbg do thank you for doing what you doand share it with us.
The adjustable spanner is a Sibille MS7 rated to 1000v for insualation. Sibille were founded in 1958 in France I think. Perhaps someone was trying to remove something from the turret post WW2?
Interesting that they fitted adjustable seating for the Machine Gunner and Observer. The seats raised and lowered for long shifts, watching for enemy troops and possibly acted as a suicide detachment, if in the path of a battle.
Wow! Bit that looked very slimy and wet. You took a big risk. If you had fallen, you could have cracked your head on the sides or on one of those iron steps, but I’m glad you did not congratulations and I’m glad you push yourself with neuropathy.
As I started seeing the video I recognized the place. Yes, so disgusting that the people came in and did all the graffiti on the walls there. Good job in climbing up the ladder. Yes, you should feel proud that you were able to do that. Glad you were able to and could bring us along. Shame you lost that wrench you found down into whatever that container attached to the wall was. Would have loved to have figure out if it was one from WWII or a more modern one. One of the old coastal forts we have here that are now state parks; they had an observation trench on top of one of the gun emplacements. Technically, the only way to get up it was from a very similar ladder as in that site. Had my gloves so decided to make the long climb up. About 15 feet up I thought twice about it. I was by myself and if I fell I was in a remote part of the park in a bunker system most people don't go into. Climbed back down. Next time I was there was winter and the vegetation along the hill was now barren. Saw a way I could climb up the hill to get to it. Was quite steep and tiring to go up and down but was well worth it.
The tube may have been for comm. A speaking tube? The Germans were very good at that, if you look at the early festegruppen forts of Metz/Thionville. The spindle in the center may have been a seat for the observer and the floor/seat turned from one port to the other. I may be totally wrong. Good video!
Congratulations but be careful trust me on old buildings. You never know what's going to be hollow and what's going to hold you. Especially if they hurried and built Is for war.
What a fantastic experience. Nobody has been up there for many years by the look of it.
It sure was interesting and thanks for being here :)
Bunker buster girl would be at the top in record time. However, I am not sure you wouldn’t have had a mental breakdown watching her do it quickly. Great job on making it to the top and going above and beyond by taking the last few steps to see the full view out the turret.
It was a true challenge for me but i did it and so glad for that :)
There was a spanner…….lol there still is a spanner, you just ensured it won’t be stolen by some other explorer. Hahaha
He he , yes now it will stay there :) Thanks.
Super Hero Status Achieved Dad!!! Well done guys- I love hearing Eagle Eye and You talk. Its very much like Matthew and I. Can you imagine being the poor German solder who had that detail? Not a very large space to spend your day...

Precarious !!!!!! That was so awesome , Great Video guys. How many time in that explore did EE call you " grumpy old guy?"
Lots of times my friend and thanks is all good. Thanks Dave :)
I am so very proud of you!!! My heart was in my throat throughout the entire climb, but you did it!!! And EE was a great spotter! You guys are awesome!!!❤
Appreciate that Cynthia and thank to kind people like YOU we can do things like this. Thanks so much :)
That was the best video that you have ever done and we have watched them all. Really enjoyed it!
Thanks for watching and appreciate that :)
Not much room up there eh? Well, Congrats dude. You made it.
I did and very glad for that. Thanks.
WTG! Congrats on achieving that climb! You most definitely achieved that "fear". Pretty neat and interesting. Thanks and again, Congrats!!!
Thanks Colleen and greetings from us :)
Great job getting up there, can't wait to see where you go next. Hope you grabbed that wrench for yourself as a prize.
Nope , it is still there. Thanks.

Thank you my friend. I see , that spanner was in a way not the right one. Loved this and thanks for your great support :)
Another example of overcoming obstacles.
Go go old guys. Maybe harder and slower and with some difficulty but no surrendering.
Never surrendering my friend and thanks :)
That is quite the adventure! Thank you for your oustanding efforts

Well that was amazing climb, thank you doing that and with no mishaps. thanks again.
Great exploration, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
WOW, JUST WOW.
Thanks my friend :)
After this you should be able to overcome anything history has hidden......
You never know and thanks.
You must grab that bolts tightening things I really love to have that ❤
Well i guess it will stay there :) thanks.
Thank you! Awesomeness
Appreciated :)

No i have no numbers but cool details in there. Loved it and i finally did it :) Thanks from us and more to come :)
26:10 That adjustable wrench is a French made Sibille MS7. Looks like an 8” insulated handle
Thanks for watching.
Any idea of the vintage?
@@01cthompson tbh, not sure. The company is Sibille Outillage. They formed in ‘58. So maybe the tool was made probably in the late 50s, early 60s.
Thus is a very brave thing you did thank you for you and ee do to bring these places to us i have neurological problems my also but i do not let stop me just keep going do notlet it stop you
Good to read Richard and we thank you for your great support :)
Thanks!

Thank you my for your kindness it is really appreciated. Greetings from us and take care :)
Thank you for documenting these places before the graffiti dead brains ruin it all.👏👏
Appreciated my friend :)
I wonder if that tube underneath and those rectangle boxes to it were to catch brass from the machine guns.
I really dont know and thanks for being here :)
Hi HH & EE,
The climbing gear is necessary for your safety.
You managed to get to the top safely.
What a shame that the adjustable key fell.
Sure was fun and scary my friend and greetings from us :)
that was awsome it must be your most difficult one to get the full acess to the top and most dangerous , but knew you would do it. huge respect to you hh and eagle eyes he was also doing a great job looking out for you, not a lot of grumpy old men would never think of doing half of what you eagle eyes and bbg do thank you for doing what you doand share it with us.

this is the best episode you and your son have done in a LONG TIME !!!!!!!!! what is your firs time brother?
Thanks for being here :)
What an adventure we'll done 👍
Loved it and thanks :)
Figure that spanner was left there by the person that unbolted whatever was mounted at those openings post war .
Could be and thanks so much :)
Good video, I do not like heights,but I used to go potholing - that did not bother me.
Was fun and scary at the same time :) Thanks.
Wow! Bit that looked very slimy and wet. You took a big risk. If you had fallen, you could have cracked your head on the sides or on one of those iron steps, but I’m glad you did not congratulations and I’m glad you push yourself with neuropathy.
Thank you my friend and appreciate you :)
That spanner was made in France. A Sibille MS7 Insulated Adjustable Wrench. Left by someone or when that turret was closed up maybe?
ok and thanks for being here :)
How did Eli like the video of it up there ? That was pretty cool !!!
He loved it and wanted to climb up there. Thanks.
RUclips may strike you for the uncensored swasi at 4:40, unless you’ve had them before with no issues
Thanks for watching :)
@baileybrewer1172 .... What are you trying to say ??
@@dilwyn1 They had them before and no issues
brave man, could the central pillar have supported a periscope?
i really dont know actually. Thanks from us.
Awesome 😎
Thanks 🤗
Hurray for you
Thanks :)
It it possible that the turret was where the antenna cables were passed through? There was a vertical cable chase near the top of the shaft.
I really dont know but it could be. Thanks for being here :)
Climbing gear? BBG?
She had no time to join :) Thanks Darrell :)
