Commented tour through a Cold War bunker

This video was originally taken for a small group at the time debating nuclear war in relation to measures to protect against it, mainly Civil Defense.
As I just so happen to run a pretty formidable bunker that had a CD role, Richard Hill (the narrator/cameraman) and I took the opportunity for showcasing the ventilation and air filtration system with not the most serious attitude.
I think it turned out to be a fun little piece to show, don't take anything that's said for face value since my British friend likes to joke around ;)
The bunker shown is called Warnamt II, I'm the chairman of the association operating it: www.warnamt.de

Holy cow, almost 500 subs now and a viewcount that surpassed my expectations - don't worry, I'm still alive and active on the bunker project, I just can't find the time to produce videos that are up to my standards atm. I made up my mind on how to start a video series on Cold War bunkers and how to do an introduction to it all recently though, there will be more to come this year :)

There's such a cursed energy to this video with the borderline silent dude demonstrating all while in PPEs ... I love it

[@The_Crimson_Fucker]

Cheeki breeki...

That Bunker is in an amazing state of preservation. Wow

[@gvii]

That was really cool. The place has been very well taken care of. It amazing to see them in such good shape. Great video, thanks for sharing!

[@BeyondtheBlastdoor]

It will be around the 7th time I redid the video by then but expect an update video on October 3rd :)

[@BrinkmanCrafts]

Amazing! Please make more videos of the bunker

[@brettimkopp7514]

Nice to see things getting started here. I'm exited to see more in the Future If you are in Germany I can really recommend visiting the Bunker if you have the Chance to.

[@trelawnny]

WOW! It is well maintained and still working, after what 50-60 years.

[@cascadianrangers728]

Jesus freaking Christ, how did they suck air through that much quartz sand?

[@88HEATHENWOLF]

its got to be said, that Bunker is in Lovely Condition.

[@88HEATHENWOLF]

Question at 10:04 are those Hand Cranks for the Filters in case of Power failure?

[@BeyondtheBlastdoor]

@@88HEATHENWOLF you are correct! There were 6 in total, not all rooms would've been ventilated in that case.

[@88HEATHENWOLF]

@@BeyondtheBlastdoor yeah I've seen them over here (UK) in ROTOR bunkers but never on that scale, like I said in my comment before the restoration job you've done on it is lovely.

The graphics in this new fallout game are amazing

[@richardj163]

So in “the situation” that air filtration room would then be off limits. The simple design ensures no need for maintenance. Maintaining air filtration in such a situation potentially would mean death for all inhabitants, thus it had to be as simple as possible.

[@adriandaish485]

Wow beautiful condition 👏

Soooo Awsome i want my own underground bunker :)lol

[@soops4665]

Holy shit this is so cool

[@cybermarc8740]

Do you have more videos? What about the other rooms? Any laboratories?

[@NothusDeusVagus]

This was indeed an interesting peek into the working mechanics of a Emergency (Nuclear or otherwise)Shelter. but it doesn't really address the question upon which this presentation was supposed to be based.

[@BeyondtheBlastdoor]

You are completely correct - the title stands in correlation to the mentioned discussion on facebook and doesn't really make sense without the context of that discussion - I plan to clear things up in the videos to come!

Gibts das auch in Deutsch?..... My english is very terrible ;)

[@edward9674]

Is it possible to live in such a place?

[@BeyondtheBlastdoor]

If you can pay for heating :D I will definitely get into detail of life in the bunker in later videos :)

[@jamesburton1050]

What specifically does the German sign to the air filtration area say?

[@bavarianmonkey8326]

at 0:21 the one above the door says "Sand filter" and the one on the right says "Danger! Do not step behind the door!"

[@bavarianmonkey8326]

at 9:34 the door says "filter room. Please close door" and the red one says "Space filter room. Danger of radiation!"

[@jamesburton1050]

@@bavarianmonkey8326 ok, thanks!

[@domestosteron]

Let's hope those grey filters don't hit anyone!

Don't worry my dude, the door was already unlocked and I just typed in random numbers - but very keen eyes ;)

[@smarthalayla6061]

Is a nuclear war survivable? Yes, but not for humans.

[@BeyondtheBlastdoor]

Depends heavily on the level of escalation - if we are talking 'ICBMs leaving their silos' you are absolutely correct, for tactical uses it can have many implications ranging from very limited numbers of warheads used to a devastated central Europe. Also it was asked in context to the Cold War ;)

I'm pretty sure I know the password, blur out the whole hand if you want to keep other clever people or dumb computer programs from making an educated guess
