What an incredible location. And to think there were three of these enormous guns there. These would have dominated such a massive area of sea and land all around. Just loved the generator room in the "basement". Being able to actually see the mountings for the diesel generator, and one of the main switchboards still there, with all the other bits and pieces lying around, was just amazing. It really gives you an idea of what that room would have been like before it was salvaged after the war. The narrow passage leading to the gun was most likely the main power cable run to the gun turret itself, with access ladders for the engineers, for maintenance and repairs. Thank you for sharing this fascinating construction. Looking forward to seeing what else this location has to share with us! Cheers to you both! Stay safe!

Awesome find ! The massive size of it was surprising as well ! 16" Guns were definitely nothing to mess around with ! I've seen a few others like this , but with guns still there , and restored into museums . This one , not really museum material though as it's in a pretty desolete area . Yes I did find it , it was relatively easy , gave me a break from the other one I'm currently looking for that is way harder to find . As always waiting for the other parts to be uploaded . Great job guys !

That bunker is HUGE!!! That photo of the complex being constructed was very interesting. The gantry system throughout some of the bunker areas were engineered very well for shell movement. Too bad all the track on the floor was removed. The "basement" was a mess but contained some period artifacts that were still place! I am surprised they had not been completely removed. I wonder how they removed that large diesel engine, I guess they disassembled it. The movement of the materials during firing of this huge gun would have taken quite a few men to make it work. I can imagine that these concrete buildings will last for centuries. Thanks for taking us along to this location!

Incredible fortification, must be loads to see out there. Switchgear was impressive, shame it gets all ripped out and we don't get to see what it was really like. At 14:00, the corridor may be a cable / pipe raceway, put there to allow the cables and pipes to be routed around to the different areas in the bunker.

Can believe there is still equipment in the bunker. That electrical panel was huge. I loved going on adventures like this when I was younger. I bet the temperature change from outside of the bunker compared to the inside is a big difference. Appears this location is not visited a lot as I really didn’t notice any graffiti. How big was base itself? Had to be hundreds of troops here to help support and defend this gun. Another interesting location.
