I went to France with Eelco to explore an abandoned WWII bunker of the Maginot line, the 2nd largest fortification of the world. After being abandoned, many guns were removed or relocated to a museum, but in this bunker you can still find some big guns!

The absolute magnitude of these bunkers built pre/during the war just blows me away.
Thanks Bob for such an awesome video
Places like these should be preserved. If not for being relics of the past, we might need them again soon.
I'm just impressed at how rust free that 90 year old turret is inside in such a wet environment
It is ! Some more stuff is coming up :)
Must have been in A vacuum ......
They put that there, to sell videos!
@@kimmichaels899 So we take the guns inside the bunker? Have you seen the entrance? :D
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath No worries, Kimmichael is one of the 81 million low brain power voters
I grew up in Germany during the 50’s and 60’s. Locally we had a bunker that was destroyed by filling it with water then putting an explosive inside. There was no giant gun but there were remnants of a radio, lots of bullets and a crushed narrow gauge rail car where two soldiers would sit facing one another. I heard that there was an underground hospital nearby but we never found any evidence of it. I used to take the bullets home and remove the slug and pour out the gunpowder and set it on fire. At school we used to have ammunition awareness week where they used to bring in defused bombs and ammunition to discourage us from touching them if we found anything.
Do tej pory w Polsce często odkrywane są niewybuchy. Sam złapałem jednen na magnes neodymowy . Szukam z wykrywaczem i znajduje masę łusek , amunicji do mausera. Zgłaszam często na policję, żeby nie zrobiły krzywdy nikomu .
I've been in that bunker in the 90's.
Amazing how little it has changed till now. Wasn't burnt back then but the floors were pushed up already
I’ll be visiting the maginot in a few weeks, can you tell me where this thing is?
That’s pretty wild how much the floors have buckled up from the expansion of that mineral!
You find the best places to explore!
Reminds me of my explorations of the Maginot. That was 30 years ago. Still got hundreds of pictures.
I don’t think they were seats.i think they are hoppers to catch the ejected shell casings
That could be! I’ll dig more into all those things before I visit another one😬
But I do wonder where they were positioned in some turrets.. barely any space to stand…
Those are indeed spent casings hoppers. The fabric or rubber were used to prevent damage to the casings, since they were refilled and reused.
Seats no sitting down on the job lots off moving needed they are indeed for empty that can be reused anywhere they can save on making using more resources all so don't won't emptys rolling around the floor
Wow. Just wow. It's like stepping back in time. Thanks guys.
Bob, I never would have imagined hat such an intact complex of the Maginot Line still existed to this day. Thank you
There are some more cool ones! And I will also revisit some others I’ve been to and show pictures from almost 15 years ago when I went and compare it😊
What a spectacular bunker, maybe the most intact I've ever seen! Thank you so much for sharing!!
I dont think the whole corridor was on fire, the smoke is only high up on the walls and roof, they made piles of copper and burned it in the tunnels to get the plastic of, and the smoke has no way to go fast, thats why the roof and some of the walls is black all the way.
People forget to look up! There is an overhead track system that runs the length of the bunker, allowing the supplies and ammunition to easily be brought into the bunker and moved efficiently.
Static versus mobile defense. Interesting how military thought changed over time
And now it's changing back to more static defenses...at least in Ukraine
@@t0ny1189 US wars against poor people fooled a lot of people to think that way. There is no certain winning strategy which will last forever.
A great explore of a fascinating bunker. Your explores with Eelco are some of my favourites on your channel. Really interesting (and funny) comments between you both. Thanks.
Thanks a lot Paul! Hope to go on some more trips together😄 We’re both very busy😒
That place was massive thanks for sharing guys great work 👍
Bob and Eelco guiding you through the museums still without a ticket booth!
It would be so cool if the government actually opened these bunkers up instead of trying to just put big pieces of metal or metal bars in front of the Entrance. Yes it’s a bad part of History but it’s still History
Best of the best videos! Great find, Bob! Hope you are doing well!
Fantastic stuff guys, your whole video set up is perfect 🙂
Those ammo cases would make some top dollar wine bottle racks for some rich people.
I believe I cut it out of the episode.. but I say normal people have coke cans next to them and here were ammunition shells😅😂 But yes! A cool relic for history enthousiasts
Nothing like seeing these two boys bunker diving together again.
I've just realized how much my years of working as a Home Inspector has messed with my mind, because I saw that entrance that you used to squeeze into the bunker and immediately thought "yeah, that appears serviceable".
Haha! Funny to look from that “ angle”😇
tough job home inspector....finding faults ...estimating repairs...every day... passing on all this good information to the potential new home owners
@@lawrenceaderneck7165 I love it.
Hi Bob, thanks for the tour that is so awesome. Be safe.
one of the best ww2 bunkers ive ever seen
i could just walk and walk and explore forever....Amazing video and thanks for the video bob
Good stuff as usual Bob. You find some incredible places
Can we both be best friends?
Thanks a lot ☺️🙏
Hello everyone! Hope you're well Bob 💪😎⭐️
All good here! Soon to Greece for some adventures. Thanks for checking out!
thank you for the tour
Love your work Bob, thanks for sharing.
Thanks !! I keep them coming🙏😎
Jeez. This structure is really complex... Amazing. Thank you for the content.
There is so much stuff to be discovered and explored, like Egypt is just burying itself constantly in sand, what if there was no storms, we would find so much lost history
Really cool...I have seen so many old films of inside the maginot line structures but this is an incredible view of what its like today.Really amazing after over 80 years..
That is so cool you guys get to explore this 😊
Wow what a fantastic explore
Sick video bro keep it up and stay safe
How have I only just discovered this channel
Very nice video. Thanks
Congrats from Brazil.
nice one Bob
What a wonderful piece of history would make an amazing museum
Wonderful film guys
Super video 👍😉
Awesome explore Bob. Bunkers are the coolest.
More cool ones coming up in the next months!
I absolutely love the map overlay as you go, super cool and informative
The Maginot line defence is amazing feat of engineering.
Great footage lads.
Crazy to imagine it’s almost a century old also..😳
Been to visit one of the Maginot bunkers thats opened and restored, really impressive
They are impressive yes! I should too, to learn more about them. I only have seen abandoned ones😳
From Porto Seguro, Brazil
Your content just gets better and better 😁👍
Thanks! I still mostly rush through places but I try to give more and more information.
Hvala na Extra Avanturi !!
Sretan Rad vam Želim u Budućim Istraživanjima !!
Pozdrav iz 🇧🇦 Bosne 🇧🇦🍻🍻
Thanks a million! Cheers to you mate 🍻
Yeah eelco is ook top bob!
Amazing that the guns were still there.
Oh hell yeah, can't wait 🤠🤠🤠
Hello Bob.
Cheers! 🍻
WOW What a cool place to look around!!
It is! You easily spend a day in there!
Een prima vonst weer een hoop achtergelaten, een mooie explore erg veilig is dat kreng niet meer zo te zien wow.
Ik ga er binnenkort nog enkele andere doen en ik heb er nog enkele op de plank liggen die ook de moeite zijn! Bedankt weer voor het kijken🙏
@ 11:30 those aren't seats they are spent shell chutes. if you sat in those places while using the howitzers your head would be pulverized by the breach of the cannon.
Wow! awesome place & video, Would love to explore this one.
Thanks! There are many of these.
It is definitely creepy and cool. Amazing footage my friend !!!!
Thank you (from France)!!
Some bunkers of the Maginot line can be visited with comments in English. One includes a functional railway to hell and more. ;)
It helps to preserve and restore the other bunkers.
Maginot line was indeed effective simply because Germans never passed it. With less than 200000soldiers in it, it's been a great advantage for France, which population was lower than Germany's...
However, we were defeated - but not because of the Maginot line.
This is a really interesting bunker. I know the place because I've been there with a friend in 2012. Great memories to see this video.
Nice. A bunker with all the equipment. Definitely a gun designed for a ship and in great condition. Im always amazed at the amount of abandoned stuff in the world. It has so much potential but money or dumb rules is always the road block.
Amazing!
Very cool!!!
Масштабный объект💪 Просто потрясающе👍
I’m so happy for all the new videos, Bob!! Good to see you and Eelco together again. Whenever I see a notification for a new video from you I immediately watch it. Thank you 🙏
nice sharing like done 👍👌❤️🌹🙏
Thanks for another great video. Didn't even see it yet but I already know
The engineer that had to design that. Unreal.
Better then any History Channel documentaries 😜👍🏻
Tremendo vídeo te felicito
So cool, again. thanks for making these videos. Ga zo door!
imagine they had spent the money used for those bunkers on aircraft, tanks, radios, and proper training........and then make The Gaulle commander of the army......
Amazing.
Well done Bob!
Thanks a lot mate 🙏
Mental.....must of the time the roof comes down not the floor goes up, amazing and shocking!!!
So cool guys
Gaaf hoor ja in het echt zal het wel een mooie ervaring zijn daar rond te lopen👍
Well done guys 👏👏
Thanks! Some more of this caliber bunkers coming up in the next months
Bloody impressive and to think that alot of that stuff down there has not rusted away it's the quality built of the yester years gone ny
Built to last yes! Nowadays they tear a building down after a few decades.
bedankt
EPIC!!!!
4:50 I don't think this would be the case for a gun like this, but I believe foot pedals have been used in some contexts to fire weapons lol. I can't really think of another reason for a foot pedal in a turret like that either tbf
Great vid. You mentioned in the beginning that the maginot line was bypassed by the Nazis bygoing through Belgium, not entirely correct. This was what they did in ww1, called the Schlieffen plan. In ww2 Hitler just went right through the Ardennes to get to France which is only partly in Belgium.
They didn’t thought they couldn’t go with the tanks through the Ardennes right? (But they did) But still. They avoided the most fortified parts of the maginot. Not entirely indeed.
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath I'll have to read up on it again but pretty sure they learnt the lesson from ww1 to skip Belgium where they had met heavy resistance and instead made straight for France. Gaps were identified in the maginot line and advantage taken.
They didnt went through the ardennes..... they went through The Netherlands which was Neutral during WW1 and was until Hitler decided it was not.... the push through the ardennes was at the end of WW2 with the battle for Hurtgen Forrest.....
Omg you all need a history lesson. The Germans attacked thru the Ardennes in order to bypass the Maginotline. And yes tanks were able to traverse the Ardennes. Completly surprising the French army.
@@Kededian This is what I say in the episode right… that they went through Belgium to bypass the most fortified sections.
If I could and if I had the money I would buy that bunker and fix it up
Great video,people like you always revealing things from those idiots than just want keep secrets,tks
As they walk passed a Capri Sun package. Plenty of people have been in there.
There's a section of the Maginot Line that I went in with a guided tour and it was all well kept. Really neat stuff.
You remember which one you went to?
very cool
Very nice video but maybe a bit long, im still looking forward to you doing a video as awesome as the aircraft carrier one
I have more epic stuff I can’t post😂🙃
Why lol cuz it's illegal
Was in one of those systems in 1972. The mess hall had murals of an outside scene on one wall. Much better shape. But nobody cared we were there then either.
Cool, There are some bunkers with a lot of murals yes! I have been in a few in a pristine state 15 years ago. 1972 must have been crazy😁😁
Just want to let you know your voice is fine. It’s got a good mellow tone.
Thanks a lot! I do my best😁😁
Pedal could be gearbox to rotate faster like on an old tank turret.
What a beast, well done Paul. Just putting a tfl popeye together. Used a Tp 4060 1950kv. Hopefully it goes OK, not much experience with hydros .
Hi Peter, just for your info, you commented on the wrong video😊
Hey like your videos very much love from INDIA
Jow guys im also a regular bunker fanatic. In case your interested to check out the rich history and number of bunker works i can show you all the awesome stuff. Its a mix of many type remains from museum accesable places to bunker villages as we call the high concentration places with bunkers in the dunes. And all or most of the bunkers that are no longer open or visible in the landscape i can show point out and even get it back in a state to open it up to have acces to them. No matter if we will ever meet or shiy i love what you guys love and am a fanboy of your channel and the content u produce. Stay safe and keep up the good work . BAM !
O, let me know in which area you live😌 send me an email!
Absolutely amazing explore Bob!
Thanks bro! I’ll visit some more.
WowI thought this place would of been some tourist attraction but find it is totally abandoned due to the amount of damage from ground swelling. Great video guys and there is no way I would of got through that small entrance. Amazed there is still those large guns and mortars still inside I bet they would still be operable if they were removed and had some work done to them.
They would indeed! Thanks for checking out. I will visit & post more in the near future. About the hole.. it’s tiny! I first went with another friend, bit he didn’t fit. So I had to go back!😅
Absolutely amazing find Bob! The condition of the guns is impressive. Is this the bunker that burned in the early 2000's? I heard that it's quite hard to breathe still but that was years ago. Planning to go there myself next year, it's quite close to where I live.
You're making by far the best urban exploration content and this one is no exception - keep the videos coming!
Well, it's not that of an amazing find. Within the WWII historians community it is a pretty well known bunker.. a not so well kept secret, so to speak. 😊
I have been there, but at the time was not properly equipped to venture inside. So nice to see some well-filmed footage !
C'est l'ouvrage du Métrich qui a été pillé par les voleurs de cuivre. Après, une association qui sauvegarde un autre ouvrage Maginot est venue récupérer quelques pièces d'artillerie et divers matériels.
L'armée a essayé de boucher les entrées par des levées de terre pour éviter de s'aventurer à l'intérieur car il est dangereux.
This one is pretty known.. (although most people miss the guns. )probably the reason I did not go there for the channel earlier. But I found out it actually doesn’t matter how well known a place is😊
At least I don’t get in big trouble for exposing “ secret bunkers” this time😳😳
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPathIke in Italy 😅?
@@brainthesizeofplanet Yes ! And some stuff I can't show haha ;)
It looks like the walls and ceiling were much stronger than the floor. The pressure pushing down made the floor crack and come through.
hi bro, thanks and very interested and perfect content 👌😎👍
Thanks a lot ! More epic bunkers like this one (and a South America series) coming up soon
