    Stuart was a good mouse! So happy y'all saved him. It is hard to imagine that places like this exist underground! It doesn't seem to have a rhyme or rhythm. It would be so easy to get lost down there. So cool!😊

    That was that mouses lucky day! It could have been wandering around there for weeks you could tell it was lost and scared to death as it came up you and kept coming to each of you and then took the crisp and ate it. Then for it to feel secure enough knowing you were going to release it had it’s self a sleep knowing you were there to help. Well done Stuart may have been a small but it’s that great feeling you have saving it knowing you can tell the stories to your kids and grandkids “The Rescue Of Stuart Little from deep down in the Maginot tunnels 16 miles below ground” 😂 😂🤣😂🤣🐭🐭🐭🐭🐁🐀

    The Maginot line is not 16 miles deep, it was an easily misunderstood quote that gives people this idea .....
    " The defences were many miles thick
    At its broadest, the Maginot Line was more than 16 miles deep and was made up of a series of separate defensive layers. Up front were camouflaged observation points positioned right along the German border. "

    Maginot line didn't cover belgium. It wasn't mistake. They knew, that the invader would try to go around, trough. They had an agreement with Belgians, that stated if germany ddeclared war on france, they would move in belgium and set up defensive line by the rivers. At the last moments, the belgians let down the french and didn't allow them to enter their country, when they joined war against germans in september 1939

    You guys are crazy in a good way. I always love to rummage through old foundations and houses. The sad thing? When I've done this, it's always been on land owned by my family. Inevitably the old houses get torn down, the old cars go bye bye. Hell, where I grew up we spent a day or two removing old appliances. But we still have good old foundation hill, it still has the old appliances, you can still just try to imagine what life was like 100 years ago. However, I must ask the question? The question that belies us all, do you really believe in the paranormal? One time I was watching a video that was of the DarkArts variety. Where in the afternoon you totally went through without missing a beat, but you come back at night. Then every creak and moan of an old joint you simply act as if apparitions are there, you ask them to make noises, you ask them speak to your equipment? It all just seems like bull shit if I am to be frank. That kind of video to me is too boring.

I share your doubts about these gadgets which seem to pick up radio interference as far as I can tell. Of course I do believe in Spirit but not these things. I just find them laughable and, frankly, boring.

    Great video of a very interesting place. However, the tunnels and bunkers aren’t 16 miles deep underground, that’s impossible. The tunnels are about 30 metres deep. The quoted “16 miles deep” actually refers to the land distance of the fortifications from front to back in some places. The worlds deepest tunnel is about 1.3 miles deep.

Not that I'm hating or do not like those themes but I do miss them traveling, and exploring abandoned old world architecture and other grand places. Even an occasional house or two with the history about them is nice. Again I'm not hating on them just missing their original exploring. So thank you Sam and Jess for staying original 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖❗️

  • @j.kaufmann7673
    @j.kaufmann7673 2 года назад +1

    Interesting video, but your location is not a secret. It is the Gros Ouvrage Brehain and the combat blocks are across the main road, on private property, from the entrance blocks which are in a small wood on the other side of the main road. You should have included a view of the two entrances (Mens Entrance and Munitions Entrance) since we would like to see how the army covered them up at the end of the century to keep people out. This is one of the larger ouvrages, but some of your information is incorrect. You used a propaganda drawing from the late 1930s that looks nothing like the forts and they are not connected to each other by a tunnel system that runs for many miles. Instead each ouvrage has its own tunnel system between the entrance blocks and its combat blocks which normally do not extend more than 1 kilometer. Except in the Alps, these forts have one level underground which is about 30 meters below the surface. The main gallery leads to the combat blocks and near the entrance blocks you find the caserne (which you passed through) and the usine (the power house), and the main magazine (M-1). Some large ouvrages split the main gallery into two parts leading to two sections of combat blocks. Apparently you entered one combat block for a 75mm gun turret (2 guns) since you showed its toboggan like shell return which you did a good job of filming. Many of the components of this fort were removed by the group that operates the ouvrage of Fermont, further down the road. I strongly advise you visit Fermont, Hackenberg or one of the other Gros Ouvrages that are open to the public for visits since you can see all the key components and learn how they work. In addition, there are many books in French and some in English that cover the Maginot Line and include plans. There are also a number of interent sites such as this one: www.lignemaginot.com/accueil/indexen.htm It has a section in English and you can find simple plans of all the Maginot ouvrages and basic information about them. It is also interesting to see the art work since one book on the art of the Maginot Line only includes a photo of the erotic view of the naked woman and nothing else from Brfehain. Have fun on your next trip.
