Looking at the parch marks in the crop there might be a chance that they just removed the later addition on the top and just reburied the bunker ........ which is slightly better than just total destruction, which would be quite a job.

It is unfortunate that History, to some, is what you read in books and that's where it belongs. The preservation of actual physical History is unimportant to them. We are fortunate that we have an excellent team whose explores have recorded History that is no longer there.

Stay Well!

That is so sad. History should be preserved not eradicated. Im glad you were able to find this place before it was gone. At least they hadn't gotten rid of everything. You were able to show us the gun position in the woods. That, unfortunately, is the nature of mankind. A very large part do not care about the history or what really happened there.

[@donaldmesserschmidt6441]

I did not realize before watching your videos that the Germans packed rations in aluminum cartons. I would have thought that aluminum was very prized during the war and rations would be packed in some other material, but time and time again you guys find these aluminum containers at a number of locations. That was a strange shutter in the graffiti covered bunker. I don't remember seeing one of those previously. I guess they removed the bunker to allow for more farming land, it must have been quite a bit of work to make that change. It is good that you videoed it for posterity. Thanks for taking us along guys!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Yes i agree Donald , strange that they used Aluminum cases but i guess many of them could have been made before the shortage as canned food lasts a long time i guess. WE are glad we shared this before it was gone. Thanks so much for your great support and greetings from us :)

Hello H.H. & E.E. Greatings From NewYork. Glad To Hear That You Both Are Feeling Better Another Great Video. It’s Really Sad That Fatmer Destroyed What Was There Before. It’s Very Important To Keep And Preserve History For Futruee Generations to See And Learn From What Ashame They Did That. But I Think I Have A Reason Why The Farmer 🧑‍🌾 Tore All That Down. Because of People Going Over There Tagging Up Writing Grafitti on the property Loitering inside there they were destroying it. So the farmer probably got tired of them destroying it. He probably wanted to keep it and preserve it. But it probably was to much in the end I’m Pretty The police was called to go over there and chance the vandals & loiters Away and the police may have even told the farmers The best solution for this to end. Was to tear it all down. It’s Really Said in todays world 🌎 That We Live in people down have respect or value for history 😔🙌🏼 Always Love Watching Your Videos And Always Looking Foward To The Next One. Glad See That You Both Are Feeling Better. Thanks Michael 🙂

It is a shame that the buildings are gone now but if you see it in the eyes of the farmer then a clear paddock to plough and sow it is much more beneficial than one with structures scattered about. History comes and goes, especially if certain structures remind people of the tyrannical opressors that invaded their country.

For the small amount of food that small field will produce, was it really worth destroying such a well preserved bit of history? Sadly I do not think so.

As the population ages, the younger generation is not interested in just keeping the farms so they just want to see how much money they can get for the property and just sell it to whoever pays the most.
