You are so very kind to us my friend and that will help out tremendously on EE`s " Touching history Tour ". Thank you from us and we shall share so much more history together :)
Wish more would donate!
I think that you are a great father and that you are helping your son to become an intelligent and respectful young man 👍🏻✌🏻♥️
I appreciate that and EE is really such a kind and giving individual. Thanks and greetings from us.
Thanks HH & EE for sharing your adventures & enthusiasm 👍👍💙💛
Our pleasure!
This area is so fascinating. The number and variety of bunkers, and gun emplacements, clearly shows how much importance this point had. And it's so awesome to see how well maintained the bunkers, and the guns, are. Seeing them with their original camouflage paint, and fixtures, still in place, without the usual modern graffiti, and rubbish piles, is so refreshing, and really gives a great impression, as to how the area looked when it was in use. I especially loved that little touch of having the lights still on in that last ammo bunker. That was just so special. Thank you both for bringing this all to us. Looking forward to Part 4! Cheers to you all!
yes like one of kind and loving the fact that one can walk everywhere and just soak it in. Great explore my friend and more to come :)
A trip to Europe to see some of these in person is on my bucket list. I bet it's just unbelievable to actually be there. Thanks for taking us along. Looking forward to the next one
Thanks for watching and for being here :)
Another set of bunkers with GUNS! Big one too. Thank you so much for taking me along. I loved it.
Yes and we love that , specially EE does :) We appreciate your great support my friend and more to come soon :)
@@WW2HistoryHunter Tell EE thanks for my present. It really made my day!
@@larryjohnson7591 I have told him now and he smiled and said thank you. Thanks Larry :)
Just an amazing explore, I can only wonder about the quality of the work as these things are still in almost new condition nearly 90 years later. You and EE have really excelled yourselves in this explore, and I know you will keep on searching for more. Thank you to team HH for taking us along with you and sharing these incredible places.
We love places like this and so interesting to roam around and find stuff :) We thank you my friend for being here with us :)
It's amazing that most of these structures were built in the two year span from 1942-44. General Blumentritt, among many other Wehrmacht officers, was skeptical that the Wall would succeed. He said that once the Wall was breached, the guns would be pointing in the wrong direction.
And if we believe Albert Speer, which I do, the war was already lost by that time. More precisely, in November 1941 with the failure of Operation Barbarossa. Germany was not equipped to win a long war.
i agree , they are interesting to study and learn from. Loved this place and thanks for watching.
Nice walk in a more civilized area HH! Interesting regelbaus, as always the amount of concrete and steel required for the construction of these things is astounding. Thanks for taking us along with you two! Stay safe and stay well!
ys this is a good example of how some of the locations can be taken care of and loved that. Great explore and thanks Donald :)
Cool place !!!
Thank you :)
Another great video gents. Like I've said before, you've shared more history than any school educational curriculum delivered when I was in school
Thanks for that my friend and that is greatly appreciated. Thanks and greetings from us.
Was watching a program on tv about hitlers Atlantic wall and railroad he was trying to build in Norway to Sweden, one guy had a map I was hoping they would show more of it but there are still parts of the camp’s bridges and tunnels there , great stuff 🤗🫡❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for watching.
That was quite the place HH and EE. We wouldn't be able to experience those WW2 historical sites without you. Well laid out defensive positio, so well constructed. The first fire control bunker with the MG Tobruk that you took us inside was so interesting. Very fortunate to have the original 15 cm gun there. Wish you could have accessed the V174 bunker. EE sure ran up to the top of the radar bunker in a hurry. Looking forward to what EE will be doing with the helmut you found. Thanks so much EE and HH. ❤
Yes there are so many features there and we loved to share those. Thanks from us :)
An awsome fortification for real. And its on level ground making it easier and faster for the men to get around. Where did they prepare their meals ? Thank you both for all the work you do.
There were some mess halls a bit away and also barrack area off the site. Thanks and more to come :)
Thanks for tacking us along with ya you legend 👍 😊😊😊
No problem 👍
Hi EE, EE, EE. Wish I had half your energetic enthusiasm 😂. What a location for the Fire Control Bunkers. Thanks for taking us inside the one with the Tobruk. Boy, were they ever solidly made. Yes, no bonking heads. A shame the V174 was fenced off. It's awesome that EE was able to climb up the Wurzburg-Riese radar bunker. That was great that the 15 cm was there for us to see. Neat ammo bunker. Don't mind seeing the run of the mill 622's. 😂Yes, watch out for those spiders 🕷 HH. Thanks so much for taking us EE & HH. 😊 Keep smiling. ❤
Yes EE is so full of energy and love that. This is such a interesting place and very glad we could share that with you Laura. Keep smiling and be strong :)
Can’t wait for this!!!
Thanks for watching.
I'm so glad to see some of these places still standing and being preserved for future generations
Yes happy to have seen that. Thanks.
It's nice to see these time pieces looked after to keep this history going for future historians such as eagle eyes
Thank you Karl :)
Another great video on the bunkers. Nice to see that TODT actually in-place modified some of their standard builds. Since all of these were on paper that portfolio must be huge. Somewhere someone has a full set and does not know it. The Bofors are functional but not as elligent as Krupp. Another outstanding video my friend, EE keep on going. Stay safe and well all. Great show timing, just getting over my run in with Covid,
Yes this place is really something else and so equipped for the AW purpose. So much to see and learn from and we love it. Not a good thing that Covid crap but you will come out stronger and never surrender my friend. We wish you a full recovery and we will save a prayer for you for a full recovery :) Thanks and greetings from us.
Great tour
Thank you :)
Another amazing site. Wonderful to see clean and without all the graffiti. The planning to put all the levels together with all the controls is scary complicated.
Yes Stephanie , so much planning and work put into that place. Loved to see it and share it with you :)
Man, I would probably have to be dragged off of that site! Was terrific that the one 15cm gun was still in its original camo paint. Even if I had been in the same bunker design at other sites, I'd still be crawling through them. Coastal artillery has just always fascinated me. Again, shame some of the bunkers were closed off. Will be looking forward to the next one! Thanks again for taking us along!
yes i know , we love to roam around at such locations and just take it in and enjoy the scenery. More to come soon my friend and be safe out there looking at the guns :)
the bunkers and fortresses are so well constructed and reinforced. Also the guns so multipurpose - amazing ❤
Great explores and thanks :)
@@WW2HistoryHunter I thank you and Eagle Eyes, bringing history to life is a wonderful gift, E.E. is getting good education, as am I - thanks so much 🙏
❤😮 someone's taking care of these positions. Working lights. Wow ✌️👍🇺🇲
Yes they do and very glad for that. Thanks and be safe out there my friend :)
The first firing control bunker was awesome, so well-kept! I never get tired of seeing the different bunkers, HH. Thank you and EE once again for sharing this position with us!❤
yes we agree , so many details and stuff to learn from these crazy builds the German did on the Atlantic Wall. Thanks Cynthia :)
Wow, great preserved gun and bunkers are in good condition. Thank you for sharing.
Loved it and thanks for watching.
Amazing how in some places it’s clear that the local community decided to preserve these features, and in others they were stripped and blown up or buried. Great episode! Thank you HH and EE!!❤❤
yes so true and so sad to see that at some locations everything is just gone and then it is too late. Thanks Scottie and greetings from us.
Always enjoy watching your videos!! Thank you! Cheers from the USA! 🇺🇸
8:27 looked like a soldier walked in though the door on the top
I know and thanks for watching.
Hi HH & EE,
It's like a trip during the holidays,
But there is more, this type of bunker is also located in IJmuiden in the Netherlands.
An interesting vlog.
yes really having a blast out there and thanks so much Oma for being here with us :)
Thanks
That is kind of you my friend and we appreciate your kind support. greetings from us and be safe out there :)
It's incredible how they built and hid all these bunkers in mountains, hills, and other environments. Thankfully, home field advantage failed them. Thanks as always for bringing this history across the ocean for so many to learn from.
I agree with you and we are so happy that we can go out and do this and share this. Thanks for being here with us :)
It’s great to see that some locations are well kept to protect the history of what happened during this time period. When I saw the first bunker with the slots having glass in them, I thought someone had turned it into their home. I couldn’t tell but were the light being used in these bunkers original to the time period? Love to see Eagle Eyes enthusiasm at these locations. He helps to make the videos exciting. Wonder location here.
Yes Anthony it is such a great place. lights are there to prevent accidents and let people see more. E is going wild out there and loving that :) Thanks for your great support :)
Good job Eagle eyes ! Great video !! Thank you for all you do !
Thanks 👍
The bunkers are in such great condition and we get to see another huge gun still in place! Thank you HH and EE for another awesome adventure! ❤
Yes Beverley , this place is really so interesting. Thanks for being here with us.
Would like to see further inside like under the gun position where the spent rounds go.
We shall share kore later. Thanks.
So nice to see someone is taking care of this site. Thanks for letting us come along
Thanks James :)
hut ab von der leistung es war ein super tolles video ein super danke da fur bis zu nachste mal und die grussen an euch beiden👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🪖🪖🪖🪖🪖.
It was an amazing architectural achievement and logistically inspired how these things were designed/built, thanks for sharing your experiences with us
Glad you enjoyed it!
Superb many thanks👏👏👏
Great explore! This is a huge site, so it had to be protecting a very strategic area. Props to you and EE!
yes it was important to control vessel traffic. Thanks for being here.
Eagle has eyes, not attack, but defend! ❤
Thanks for watching.
Wow massive fortifications! Thank you!
You're welcome!
That was a fantastic view from the top of the control bunker and then again from the gun placement out over the town into the sea. Looked like there were some form of windows installed in the bottom level of the first bunker, the whole area seems like it is looked after. Would happily spend hours cleaning up the gun and restoring it. Thanks for sharing.
Yes it is a very interesting place and just loved to see it ad share it with you my friend. Thanks for being here and greetings from us.
Another great day of exploration! The Atlantic Wall is like a modern-day Wonder of the World, but with sinister and cruel connotations. The rather remote locations of these particular structures mean that they are graffiti-free which is good to see. Many thanks to both of you and looking forward to the next video!
yes they are strong signs from the past and glad we can see them and learn from them. Thanks Sue :)
Wow, what an amazing video. I can't believe the fire control bunker and the paint is in really good condition. Can't wait for another video .
You and me both!
Great video of some really neat gun placement bunkers. THANK YOU HISTORY HUNTER AND EAGLE EYE'S for all the hard work u both do.
We appreciate your incredible kind support William. Thanks you and we send a greeting from us.
The first fire control bunker had windows in the bottom level. That would make a great man cave! Never seen one like that. This location also looks well cared for. Thank you and EE for the tour and can't wait for part 4. Take care and stay safe my friends.
It is taken care of for sure and we loved to share this. Thanks Allen :)
Man cave?
The bunker would make a great weekender,I reacon.
@@1953beetle I thought of that also. The view is incredible.
@@allenhigginbotham3740 😀👍🏻
Incredible guys!!!!
Thank you.
Are there any veterans still alive that you could interview that were assigned to any of those bunkers? They could tell us how life in a bunker really was .
We have spoken to some veterans and that is interesting yes but so few of them still alive. Thanks for watching.
I'm looking at 3 levels of cement ... built in 3-4 years max. The time to not only build the structure but also to make them operational, which tells me, supply of gypsum and various other materials had to be shipped etc, waiting. Good video. The weight of that 15 cm gun assuming its over 12 thousand pounds for the barrel all takes time, not just to move but to have it installed during construction. Now i have to consider that France and surrounding areas, has winters too. I wonder what current european winters are like along the coast there?
Lots of work done there yes and can be pretty cold around there in winter times. Thanks.
Loved how those bunkers had different "skin" to them. A couple looked like fish scales lol. Also so glad that someone is taking the time in saving those bunkers. Too bad we couldn't see inside the control ones. That would have been grand. Thanks again EE,HH for another great adventure. Looking forward to the next sequel to this. Stay well, safe and smile. Until then........................................
yes Colleen , what a great place this is. Good it is taken care of. Thanks.
Very impressive, and also a well maintained site, no graffiti helps to maintain the historical value.
yes such a great place to explore and loved it. Thanks.
Loved this , thanks history hunter and eagle eyes 💜💜💜👍👍👍 thanks for braving the spiders 🕸️
Glad you enjoyed it
Superb viewing
Appreciated my friend :)
Great location. ❤
What a fascinating place! This bunker was huge and that gun was enormous! The Germans definitely planned on keeping this area for themselves. I'm continually impressed with their construction. Nobody built like they did. What they built was made to last and last it has! The Germans were one of a kind when it came to construction. I've never seen anyone else build like they did. This was an absolute pleasure to see this. As always you and EE have provided a grand adventure. Thank you both for taking me along. Take care and stay safe. 💖💯
Yes they built so many bunkers there and some are even fully buried and forgotten. Thanks Julie for your great support.
Amazing!!! 😳
Thank you :)
Awesome
Thank you :)
Despite their age, the bunkers look so modern... they remind us, in a way, of current buildings.
I mean, the bunkers facing the sea.
yes they are truly great to explore and look into. Thanks and more to come :)
Looks untouched , someone is saving this site. Great video guys ! EE must love that gun , she's a whopper.
Yes it is kept very well and glad for that. Thanks Dave and more to come :)
Wow great place good to see the gum there 😎
yes so many guns there and we loved it. Thanks.

Very appreciated my friend and greetings from us.
Good evening from Syracuse NY USA brother and everyone else
Hello my friend and thanks for being here with us today :)
Hi my friends I was helping with the Royal Rangers ministry in my church (boys ministry) not like Germany and we took a trip up a mountain to a fire tower
So well looked after, and maybe even cared for. Make a nice change not to have mindless graffitti all over the walls. I noticed the windows in some of the fire control bunkers, as if someone planned to live there, all I can say is WOW being able to live in one of these would be awesome. Thank you both for sgaring this with us, and I cannot wait for the next video of this site. Stay safe and well my friends
Would have been very interesting to live in such a thing. At least safe and quiet :) Loved this place and glad we could share that with you :)
Just from Spain pass Norway to Murmansk
Thanks for watching.
It must have taken some intellectual calculations to determine the firing solutions for the distances involved, especially when you consider they did not have computers to assist them.
They actually had manual firing computers. Huge tables with tons of different movable and transferable metal rulers and wheels determining the firing solutions. Have seen some very large ones of these in some bunkers. Thanks for watching.
A other amazing movie you got. But did you turn on the lights in the bunkers or was it on when you came to the bunkers?
Lights are on by the caretakers of the location. Thanks.
I have been there. there were many goats there
Thanks for watching.
Even tiny ww1 bunkers are still in situ..... these massive ww2 bunkers will still be here in 10,000 years.
You never know and thanks for watching.
Thumbs up with a kid on a site where thousands have died and injured is very cool.
Thanks for watching.
I noticed the lights were on in that bunker where was the power source located
i have no clue , most likely from the grid. Thanks.
Thanks, HH and EE for another fantastic video. Until next time " Good Hunting"
Yes what a great explore and thanks for being here :)
I find it interesting that these bunkers still have power. Who is funding that?
Caretakers feel that lights make them safer for people to explore the site. Thanks.
Are they glass windows on some of the bunkers in this video?
Some had metal heavy duty shutters in front of glass windows. Thanks for watching.
Hi
Appreciate you being here and greetings from us.
why is the light on in the ammo bunkers??
Well i think it is because it will be easier to go inside and safe to go inside. Thanks.
How is it that the electricity is still working?
Well it seems like they taking care of this place and want to keep the place safe by having lights. Thanks.
Where is this particular site please?
Locations are never given. Thanks for watching.
😁😁😁😁😁
Thank you Jim :)
😀👏👏👏👏🇸🇪
We appreciate you being here and greetings from us.
😛😛😛😛😛😛❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Charles :)
I really dont agree with people locking things off thinking they 'own them'. All this belongs to THE PEOPLE not one person. The government should outlaw the closing off of imprtant historic monuments.
I totally agree and i wish more people would see that. Thanks for your great support.
Did Germany lose ww2 because of their skimpy bunker sizing ? What a miserable existence. They were able to spend top dollar on equipment yet offer lousy housing to their front line soldiers
Sooooooperb stuff .....brilliant
Thank you! Cheers!
cool video
Very glad you liked it John and more to come :)
