You are so welcome and that is so kind of you and we really appreciate it. Will come in so handy in future explores. We send our greetings from us and stay safe out there :)
I think the main reason for the rebar being so small is that it would have taken a LOT of steel resources up. the Kriegsmarine and Wehrmacht needed all the steel they could get for tanks, ships and vehicles. That is my theory anyway. This place is absolutely AMAZING! Thanks HH and EE for another brilliant video.
So great that the blasted vandals didn't graffiti over the original lettering inside of the structure. Still couldn't believe that it was still there. Thanks for wandering inside of the structure so we could see what it looked like!
I wonder why the Russians felt the need to destroy these bunkers instead of just stripping them out and let them stay? What a waste of pounds of explosives. Now there is a mess in the forest instead of an empty structure. I can't imagine that they thought someone would use them in a military environment ever again. This is another great site you have shown us! Thanks to you and EE for the great tour!! Stay safe and stay well!
WE do believe the Germans blew up some of it and then the Red Army managed to level the rest. Great explore and thanks for your incredible support my friend :)
Great experience to see. The thickness of the walls and roof is crazy, the explosives had to have been placed very strategically to do that much damage. Thank you and EE again for all you do. Can't wait for part 2 of this one. Take care and stay safe.
yes we have never seen such thick walls and roof in any bunker before. Such a exciting place to see and very glad we could share that with you Allen. Thanks and be safe out there :)
This was amazing! The original German writing on the walls were very special. This bunker was massive! I know it took a lot of explosives to do that much damage because of the thickness of the walls. It did look like a mountain that had been blown up. Thank you HH and EE for taking me along on this wonderful adventure. Take care and stay safe. 💖💯
Another great road video HH. They built the high bunker the same way as Wolf's layer. Not a lot of rebar, but vertical and horizontal 8mm mesh, 300mm squares. Plus, as you found pretensioned mesh bundles. It actually made the building tougher. Great video with good information as always. Stay safe and well out there and regards to the family.
Another amazing Bunker graveyard. The sheer size of these things never stop amazing me, and in the end, for nothing. Those underground barracks, really strange and haunting, but as you said, they must have been cold and damp living there. Thank you for finding these sites and for sharing them with us. Stay safe and well my friends
I just found your channel recently and have really enjoyed watching your videos, you and EE do a fantastic job! Touching history is a great thing to do as a father and son team! 🙂
EE is getting so tall. The bunker structures did look like mountains. Very well fortified. The underground barracks were definitely a different concept. Helped make the soldiers that much safer, I would think. Thanks, HH & EE. ❤
Great location and bunkers, the find of the written text is really a discovery. That it has been so preserved in these modern times with graffiti and destruction of history. The underground soldiers remain a nice find. Thanks again for the video of you two.
Wow , very kind of you my friend and we truly appreciate that. So kind and it will come in very handy in upcoming explores for sure. Thanks and we send a greeting from us :)
Wow! The high tower was so imposing one felt so small to be among the ruins. Absolutely loved the German writing on the walls and the little artifacts you found lying around. Suprise Russian underground bunkers, they realised the suitability of this area originally used by the Geemans! Superb adventure HH and EE. Thank you ❤
I like your channel and videos. Thanks. May I suggest that if possible, if you could find old photos of what this bunker (and others in your videos) looked like, it would put things into perspective. Keep up the good work!
An amazing complex. Love the rebar system, would love to know the planning and reasoning behind using it. Thanks for sharing this site. The amount of tons of concrete must be mind numbing!
What an amazing place! And to see, still there, on that (thankfully) untouched piece of internal wall, that German writing, still doing it's job, after such a long time, and after so much damage, both original, and modern. That, that was truly amazing. It is hard to imagine the ridiculous amount of work that went into building that incredible bunker. You can see, just from the parts still standing, how immensely thick the concrete walls were. And that roof! To think how much concrete and steel went into building that roof is just mind numbing. It's possible those sunken barracks were original, built low into the ground to reduce the shadow outline, that aerial photography would normally reveal, and the Soviets made use of them after the war. Certainly can't see a reason for them, to build them into the ground, when it's easier to build above ground. It is a pity, but probably for the best, that the deep bunker is sealed. By now it's probably flooded by ground water anyway, but who knows what secrets might still be lying down there. Perhaps one day, someone will organise an expedition into the unknown. Thank you for sharing this amazing place with us! Cheers to you both!
Yes these location are so interesting to look into and it shows the immense and intense years during the war. They are in a way historical dinosaurs that tells us what happened. Thank you my friend and be safe out there :)
How exciting to be exploring a location then come up on something unexpected like the underground barracks. When you found the pottery,gas mask ring and other items I was thinking there may be a trash dump on the property containing who knows what. Sad to see these huge structures destroyed. It would have been fantastic to see them still standing and exploring the insides of them. Happy to see the German writing on the wall has survived for people to see. This time in history is being forgotten, which it shouldn’t. What happened during this time period needs to be told and so happy you’re helping to preserve some of that history. Another great adventure and location.
Yes there are for sure lots of items still laying around and who knows what more is out there. Total demolition it seems like and we loved to share that with you Anthony. Thanks and take care :)
The piece of German writing is so interesting! That was, indeed, an impressive facility. And the Cold War barracks were interesting! I saw EE protecting you with his gun on the way in! He is awesome!!!❤
Hello HH & EE, These types of bunkers are indeed gigantic, they were also built in Berlin. What is special is that all building materials were brought to this location.
Breath taking structures definitely on a scale with Hitlers Wolf Lair Bunkers in Poland.Great to see the German script still on the wall and not vandalised.EEand HH go the extra History Hunting mile to educate and entertain us.👍👍
I bet the whole area and the buildings were very clean and the men had everything they needed. Great video my friends. E E you help make these videos awsome. Thank you both. 😊
I was watching a WW2 film about the British attacking the Germans in the desert in North Afrika. There is a scene with a sapper removing mines and he can be seen disarming 'S' mines removing the detonators so the commandos could attack German bases. The work involved to produce this much conrete cannot be imagined. In todays world it is so easy with all the machines we have, but in 1939 they had very few machines just MANUAL LABOUR - incredible. If you metal detect that there might be remains of a MASSIVE Tallboy or blockbuster bomb buried there.
🤕 Head is spinning life is so crazy as I am in the middle of selling my house and moving amongst other delightful situations. This is exactly what I needed. Always look forward to your videos. The Eastern Front Road Trip was a great success. Good job HH and EE. The bunker looked very sturdily built. I bet Donitz felt very safe in that bunker. Was something to see the original German writing on the wall. Wish it could be preserved. A shame the bunker was desroyed. The Tiefer Bunker would have been so interesting to see inside. Underground soldiers barracks was surprising. I would imagine that it was very well appointed in its prime and offered many creature comforts for the soldiers. Thank you so very much for doing all the research and planning in order to bring us extemely interesting WW2 history HH. Be safe and keep smiling. ❤
Yes you are in the middle of a lot and we know you are ready for it and strong :) Thanks so much Girl for your fantastic support and keep smiling in between the battles :)
They used a serious amount of concrete to build that one. The barracks don't look to be to the same standard as German built barracks so may be they were put there by the Russians? Very interesting to see, thanks for sharing.
I love watching your videos I am in Australia and have nothing like what you look at over there I hope and wish one day I can travel over to see some of your history
Those rebars are tiny compared to i.e. that u-boat pen that Allied couldn't destroy. But propably these bunkers were built much earlier and there wasn't so threat from allied air bombing. And the fact that it never was designed to withstand explotion and shockvawe from inside and not outside hits witch were mostly coming from air.
That was something to see!!! I loved seeing that writing on the wall still there; truly amazing!! I can only imagine how HUGE that bunker was when it was still intact. To think of the hours and material it took to build that there in the woods. Really enjoyed it and those post WW 2 barracks. Im surprised the Russians even dug them into the ground; really surprised. Thanks for taking us,as so many of us will never be able to go ourselves. Looking forward to the next. Stay well,safe and smile. Until then,my friend...........................................
It's such a shame that so many of these bunkers and Hitler's lairs were blown to bits.I completely understand the feelings that meant they all needed to be eradicated but just imagine if they'd been left as reminders.They would be fascinating
@@glennwhittaker197 No we have not. As said before , look under every video where it says " more " . Scroll down to you see our gmail address and just send us your info there. I have checked tons of time and we have not seen your mail anywhere there :)
Thanks guys for showing us this and again the Reds must of used a massive amount of explosives to destroy this mountain of concrete I too am amazed that the metal Rio is so thin maybe because they needed more steel for weapons and that is why. Those underground red army barracks were a surprise to. Say I know what EE stands for what does your HH mean? Heavy Hitter or Handsome Harry lol I hope you have a sense of humor I don't mean any disrespect. Well stay safe guys and take care I look forward to more of your adventures and kind of wish I was tagging along to see these as well as there is nothing like this down under.
Maybe research can be done on rebar , maybe steel needed to be used in other industries and the thickness was reduced? If it still did as good a job when it was thiner. Such a thing would be typical of the clever Albert speer where he was skilled in getting the best performance from German industry.
We truly appreciate that my friend and with such kindness we can go out and find and share even more great history with you. Thank YOU for that and take care out there :)

ok i see and they are so heavy duty built. Interesting place that is for sure and we loved it. Thanks and more to come :)
The prestressed concrete beams were used as forms for the roof, a common technique seen in many of these bunkers.

The way this was build didn't look like the small rebar didn't hurt it a lot
Great place to explore and thanks for watching.
amazing part 2, amazing place 👍
Thank you 👍
👩🏻💻What year was the bunker built? Maybe their sources of iron were running out because of the war effort the metal needed to go elsewhere.
That could be yes. Thanks for watching.

That is so much damage! It's incomprehensible! Looks like they need a concrete recycling program out there 😂
Yes very much demolished you could say. Thanks for being here :)
13:23 approx of your video should be an example of searching for re-bar after dynamite is used. Concrete.
There you go and thanks :)
Top job guys
Thanks for that :)
I might be wrong but I think the rebar in the walls are either for a facade or netting?
There are that as well but quite little rebar in those things there. Thanks.
1,000 years from now any humans living in the area will have legends about how giants once lived here and how it was destroyed by the gods.
Thanks for watching.
Always great places you take us 😎

they probably didnt have the materials for thick rebar at that point in the war
Could very well be. Thanks for being here with us :)
I would love to buy one of those bunkers and make it my house 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Could be fun to do :) Thanks.
How do you find such cool places ?
Well a bit of research does magic i think. Thanks.
Tak!
Very kind of you my friend and we appreciate that a lot. Will come in handy in future explores :) Thanks and greetings from us.
Brilliant as always! Thank goodness something survived the Red Army! Thanks EE and HH!

Other than for concealment what would be the purpose of building the barracks at ground level. It would be prone to water inundation. Very weird.
Stange barracks indeed and thanks for watching.
Is this located near Tessin?
