The video is from last July, you can see the green trees and me sweaty like a pig :)

Hungarian army.

Hey, thanks for the comment! I don't think in all the folklore, to much work to dig tunnels, and even if it was another underground level, it was impossible to fit the Flaks on the narrow stairs :) Maybe they hidden some stuff but they retreated pretty fast, and all they left behind were given to the locals, or in case of artillery, the practice was to blew them up themselves so the "enemy" could not use them against them. All the best!

Hey, thanks for the kind words! Because of their position near the port of Giurgiu (southern Romania, near the Danube that is the natural border with Bulgaria), they were most probably built (as a test?) in the late 30s, in the same time the Carol 2 Fortification Line was built in the Western part of Romania (on the border with Hungary). Both Hungary and Bulgaria in the King Carol 2nd period were some kind of "natural" enemies, but when Romania entered the Axis in 41, they role was some kind of irrelevant, just a big waste of money and time. They look unfinished and surely they seen no action, so that some kind cements my impression that when it was clear that Romania would join the Axis Powers, there was no point of finishing the project. As a fun fact, after 23 August 1944 when Romania changed sides, the German Troops that retreated and had to find a way out of Romania that was now hostile, they did also crossed the Danube to Bulgaria. The ones that escaped, initially they were safe over there, but after 8th September Russians also came to power in Bulgaria so that was about it. All the best!

Thank you! What remained of the bunkers were not used because most of them were placed in low open lands - the German Troops made their retreat mostly on the higher ground where they had forest cover. For example, near Oradea they fought in the forests near the city and Baile Felix, and further north they moved quickly into Hungary. All the fighting in the open area were made in villages that were more "user friendly" :) All the best!

@@relicsandmilitariaro thank you.

Some of them are in are lucky enough to be in quite ok state, others are totally gone. Haven't got the chance to visit and explore them since I live in the other side of Romania :) You can see some of the remainings here - in an article of how they are being used today as bat caves - lilieci.ro/colonia-blog/linia-fortificata-carol-mai-mult-decat-o-ruina/ Hope the link will work. Thank you!

@@relicsandmilitariaro very interesting! Do you think there is a map of them somewhere?

@@ww2_panzerbricks269 Hey, been over there for some exploration. Some videos with the Oradea bunkers dropping next week, stay tuned!

Salut! Nu cred ca se chinuiau sa care lazile cu munitie pe scari prin usa aia mica si ingusta :) Era un bunker de comanda, de obicei munitia era stocata in paduri, plus ca nu era atat de pretioasa munitia incat sa merite sa o tina protejata in subteran. Toate cele bune!

Thank you! I think some kind of canon was mounted in the circular opening, probably with the possibility of turning it left/right, but the metal rail ring is missing. This remaining bunker sits at about 1km from the shore, near the harbour, so for it to observe things I thing is quite strange, also it has a radar near it...

@@relicsandmilitariaro that is true. Would love to hear more from the Black Sea wall, perhaps you could write to me about it on Instagram?

Da, conform legilor in vigoare :)

Hallo, in meinem Projekt geht es hauptsächlich um die rumänische Armee im ersten und zweiten Weltkrieg, die mit Hilfe des Metalldetektors nach Relikten aus dieser Zeit sucht. Außerdem erkunde ich Bunker und Befestigungen auf dem Territorium Rumäniens. Alles Gute aus Bukarest!

Surely was a gem, if you have the nerves of digging in the garbage infested ground in the area some great things pop up. The guys from RMA Romanian Military Archaeology, found some years ago literally a bag of Iron Crosses. Check them up on Facebook/Instagram.
