AMAZING FORT SIMSERHOF THE DARK UNDERGROUND

[@tinostruckmann]

I set this to premiere at the regular time, but apparently It started 9 hrs early??? I have no idea why..but here you are? Next should be up tomorrow or Sunday

[@copper4441]

I can't wait to get home and watch this over on the big screen

[@scottmihalsky3612]

I am so looking forward to new episodes. Thanks again Tino

[@NotMe-hm2zd]

I'm so glad I found you're wonderful content months ago. Very well done sir, thank you.

[@larsrasmussen1106]

Cool walkthru of the facility. Thanks for posting another great video!

[@DT-sb9sv]

It's super cool that the original artwork survived. Everyplace I end up is all tagged over.

[@patchmack4469]

a super interesting set of tunnels Tino - the first parts are damn near ready for one of your film productions as a film set, now that would be cool, have dozens of your finest dressed in correct gear running round like headless chickens the weapons stash was rather nice to see, and the various groups all coming together to one goal in mind, to restore and show future generations, these tunnels really show the complexities, complete with cables to all parts of the complex, amazing, hard to always imagine in some of the other systems you have visited, thankfully the scrap man hasn't been allowed here, but again the aerial track system for moving munitions etc gives all the answers to other complexes you show on your channel, mind blowing, no wonder the scrap man got into so many and had a field day later it becomes more of a giant 3d zig saw, what goes where

[@tinostruckmann]

You are absolutely correct the only thing stopping me from filming out there is permission to fire blanks

[@steveavis7809]

Ty Tino for sharing with us all

Amazing work Tino! Places like this you could explore for days. I'd love to watch it too. Heck I'd love to explore it with you, if only my body would cooperate.

This was amazing. Thanks Tino!

[@beachcomberbloke462]

What a mind blowing tour of the labyrinth of tunnels that make up fort Simserhof.The bunker art really makes the place homely,a remiber of more peaceful times.

[@DaVinci0963]

I like it Tino. Interesting to see how much rifling is in a BIG gun when it is exposed from a blowout.

[@liseswolfs8624]

I would love to volunteer there. Love your videos. ❤️🇨🇦

[@rjansen6874]

Thanks Tino!

[@ShaunUnderwoodx]

The parts around the 58 min where you're looking at actual battle damage on both sectors where only the grenade shoot is left intact.. I believe these walls were targeted on purpose. My reason being for this is because it's not a fool solid wall because it has grenade pipe running through the wall which would make it weaker to attack... It's just strange how both exact parts of the wall were hit in both grenade launcher parts... It's just something I noticed... However I could spend days weeks walking around this underground fort and even then you wouldn't get to see 100-percent.. yet again to know thank you very much great film. I like this French guy. I've seen him in many of your other videos . Very very French accent 😁. He Knows his history especially French fort history...🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷

[@MrLeftlane1313]

One of your coolest adventures yet.

Good tour, I'm tired just watching all the walking around!!

[@tinostruckmann]

I get a tell you the running up and down the stairs of 10 combat blocks of 30 m that was exercise

[@philipmcdonagh1094]

Yea I get all the exercise I need just watching these.

[@drozdabulii]

Visit today, not all tunnels open for visitors,great place to see, video great job!

[@STB-1]

Hmmmm premier starts at 7 pm my time and I will be at work, something is going to have to wait! 😜

[@Ryanboy2020]

This particular area of France with its history of its inhabitants being drafted into French, then German, and then French armies again is so important to preserve this history. These fortresses tell the story for them and need to be maintained. Time, your suggestion that U.S. WWII reenactment units should be tapped to come over and help with the restoration is a great idea. I know I could speak for my unit of the 1st SS Panzer unit that I could easily organize 20 or more volunteers who would love to deploy to France and help with this important work. I need a P.O.C. for the fortress to organize.

[@eichelspecke]

Hi Tino. Any westwall-visiting planned maybe?

[@wilcaroll1410]

Did they ever have clocks in the bunkers?

[@chlalew]

Amazing place, a true time capsule

[@donaldmiller8767]

1 a.m. mountain Time, who starts a premier at that hour? Oh wait Tino does lol 😂

[@tinostruckmann]

not deliberately I did not??? I set it to regular time

[@427_FE]

It is amazing how much engineering and money was spent on these forts. Imagine if half of it was dedicated to aircraft and tank development and production ?

[@salparadise1220]

Star Forts - now there's a subject in need of examination. They stretch from the US to Russia and Japan, though the greater majority are to be found on the European mainland. Some are in such good condition they look like they were built yesterday, some are so trashed they're barely visible as anything more than a vague shape in the dirt. They're also the subject of one of the more weird theories about history, so a good explanation and examination would be useful to history in general.

[@NotMe-hm2zd]

Star forts are always on my radar and they are very intriguing but I'm not aware of the significance or contention or mystery they hold on history. Can you explain a little more please. Thank you.

I don't know how you do it walk by all that stuff and all those rooms I would have to look at everything and go in every room I would be in there for weeks and weeks

[@tinostruckmann]

I have to do my playing with stuff off-camera otherwise I would never get home

[@bobbysenterprises3220]

The giy who cleans your rental cars must be wondering "where the hell did they take this thing, 4wheeling?"

[@bluecollar58]

If I remember correctly , it was Belgium that wouldn’t allow the line to be completed through their Country thereby making the whole thing an exercise in futility.

[@raymondleggs5508]

Will the trains only go about 2-4mph so it's just like walking while sitting down.

Tino, you need to be careful man scraping lead paint sir! That crap is so dangerous to your health from those flakes you remove. That gets under your nails and if not removed properly, you could end up eating! 🤭😢

[@TheMarlboroMan1969]

You realy can get lost underground there !

[@philipmcdonagh1094]

These places are mind boggling. just as well there is an abundance of limestone and gravel and iron on the planet or we would have reached peak concrete and iron sometime during the second world war.

[@ShaunUnderwoodx]

Tino do you think the French military of today have any of these bunkers operational in a 21st century kind of way?

[@tinostruckmann]

Yes I'm pretty sure several parts of some of the Maginot Line forts or still in active use a source some of the Munitions storage bunkers still in use in most of the former warring countries

[@ShaunUnderwoodx]

@@tinostruckmann it would be interesting to know. I'm just watching part 2. Fascinating, absolutely... I can't believe the roast on some of the turrets in part 1 and also 2nd. It must be very warm and humid in these locations to cause that amount of ASDA floors look very damp... I'm going to have to go and look at these places for myself obviously you get the executive.. I just get the tourist 😁. Absolutely brilliant mate thank you for to long fascinating docs

What the German tunnels might have looked like if they had not been striped by the Russians, blown up by the Americans and neglected by the Germans.

[@bmcg5296]

If the Germans attacked this head on would they have overcome it eventually? Or just be destroyed as a fighting force?

[@drstrangelove4998]

Yes, they’d have overcome it. But at what cost, and what was the point. It was surrounded and neutralised. And when they surrendered on the armistice, it was still in a good condition for the Germans to use. They saluted the French soldiers when they came out too.
