LINZ HIDDEN WW2 UNDERGROUND - IN THE TUNNELS

[@beachcomberbloke462]

Absolutely blown away by that Shrine,like something from the Da Vinci Code!! Also the tunnel drilling machine was very cool.

[@Ryanboy2020]

We know from records that some of these tunnels in Linz were used for the manufacturing of the Me262 fuselage built by forced labor. The wings and stabilizers were built in Stuttgart. I was stationed in Böblingen, near Stuttgart which was the home base for Rommel. There are massive tunnels under Panzer Kaserne in Böblingen containing tanks and other equipment. I explored many of these tunnels (in secret of course) as these tunnels were strictly off limits. We were told to stay out because the tunnels were fixed with trip wires and booby traps. I found this to be not the case. They didn't want people down there because you could literally get lost in the vast tunnel complex and the huge rooms that are there. This would be a perfect place for you to explore. I have a military I.D. and so do you, yes? We could easily get on post and then I could show you how to access these tunnels. 7th S.F. Group is stationed there now. When I was there it was the 1st INF DIV (F) 3/34 the Armor and 2/16 INF, along with an engineer battalion.

@Editor No... I was too busy going off post to explore the post really... the things that stand out in my mind from my time there is the rifle range (those big arches and berms, left over from the panzer days) and the potato shack😄... also the tall-azz NATO Radio Tower we guarded out in the forest, that was creepy at night. Nobody ever talked about tunnels. That is kind of a bummer.

[@Ryanboy2020]

@@Robertlynschultz Ya, I remember the radio tower. I was with 3/34 Armor for the first year which were the first building on the right as you came in the main gate. Then I was with 2/16th across the Kaserne near the back. It was a great time to be in Germany. I cant even remember the names of the bars we hung out at off post. I do remember carrying cases of Colt 45 across post from the exchange to our building..lol..great times.

A HIAG or ODESSA member may well have lived in that old villa in front of the tunnels after the war (1950s) . I was surprised that it still had an old desk and cupboards in it. Super cool video again!

I miss radiators in rooms as well. Some of the furniture in the old mansion is wonderful.

[@jimciancio9005]

The crazy amounts of the hand laid bricks lining the upper portions of the tunnels is unreal! Wow! That's some serious labor intensive work! Not to mention the millions of bricks which had to be manufactured for just this location is mind blowing to think about!

Good day Troopers from Ontario Canada 🤠🤠🤠🤠 1) I'm only at 3:40 so far and have to comment. I was recently looking for a new apartment to rent. The first one truly looked very much like this place including filthy doors and broken lath on the wall's but without the broken glass. Apparently, it did also have a bed bug infestation. 😱😱 About turn I said and off I went smartly! 2) Ohhh wooow, that large room with the big fireplace... Damn I'd fix that up and use it. Nice old furnishings too! 3) Tino, those are a more modern radiator as they are not the original cast iron type. Still amazingly nice though. 4) Wooow, such beautiful wooden furnishings. 5) At 12:59 Bed n Breakfast Tunnels with Barrel bedrooms??? I love it! 👍 Come on Tino, You have discovered a gold mine in travel accommodations here! Add in the WW2 mystery tour. 👌 6) 18:00 Woooow! 7) 26:01 An early tunnel boring machine. 👍 8) 33:40 A post war flood light, water tight with chicken wire screen to prevent glass lenses blowing out. The lenses would get extremely hot and shatter if cold water hits it. And at 106:02, someone from the past is shouting...... Shut the bloody door and lock it before all the riff raff come in! 🤣🤣 Fantastic place Tino and I'm sure you have other surprises from there coming up. Cheers

[@flashgordon6670]

What an amazing location and tunnels! Have you ever used such places as these in your war movies? I love exploring old buildings, when I was a teenager in the mid 90s, I used to explore inside an old mental asylum nearby. It was so eerie, there was an old operating theatre and some massive old machine, just left running in the corridor. It make a loud whirring, electrical sound, it was so weird and freaked me out. Possibly a v large dehumidifier. The corridors were blocked off with large wooden panels, with holes cut in the bottom, the exact size and shape for the guard dogs, luckily we never saw them. We used to climb over the rooftops and there was a gigantic tower overlooking the main entrance, once we climbed right to the top inside it there were ladders. I also remember a shed in an enclosed courtyard where they stored huge syringes and equipment. I also remember some large rooms with armchairs in them, It was a natural location for a B horror, Shame we didn’t have I phones back then. We used to play snooker at the old staff bar near it. It was called Hellingly hospital at Hellingly near Hailsham East Sussex England. They knocked it all down sadly, I would’ve loved to make a B horror and the whole area was much spookier back then, but still is pretty spooky to this day. I’m sure they used to lobotomise patients there and EST, a great theme for a horror.

[@flashgordon6670]

I still go and explore old empire buildings to this day. There’s another old private hospital called the Esperanto, Eastbourne. They’re turning it into flats which I disagree with personally. I went in there and saw the old operating theatre and stuff. The police came while I was in there bc I triggered the sensors, but I hid laying on the floor by a skip outside and they didn’t see me. Another time there was a police man standing at the corner of the building looking towards the main entrance, I came by the side of the building and saw him standing there but I couldn’t believe my eyes bc I was so tired etc. It was about 4 in the morning, I just froze and had to take a few seconds to compose myself and hide, retreating slowly. Luckily he didn’t see me.

[@bruceinoz8002]

Austrian Railways logo at 49:58" Austrian Federal Railway. Definitely post WW2 After the Anschluss, they would have been part of the Deutsches Reichsbahn structure, and WAY back, several variations on Austro-Hungarian Empire / "private" / commercial naming. Maybe at some time, the OBB used the building or routed communications cabled via the basement tunnels. How close is the nearest rail line, station, signal, yard etc?

[@tinostruckmann]

I thought it was an interesting little thing too put in there of course there's no story as to where it came from sadly

Astounding tour of these tunnels. You never know what's around the next corner.

[@marcgodwin7571]

Awesome mini tunnel boring machine I've worked on modern ones, usually they have a conveyor belt running underneath where the cutter deposits the material and its pushed out the back of the machine into either rail carts or further sections of conveyor out of the tunnel, very efficient in that lime stone The bore holes are normally done ahead of the cutter to make sure there is no hard rock they might hit and ripoff the cutters

[@davehughes53]

21:45 Ive seen that symbol before or something similar.... dont recall where. Old ghost towns in BC Rocky Mtn mining areas, a cemetery there maybe... or some place in Europe decades ago. It would be old but seems like a confused modern variant. The Star Of Life at the bottom looked familiar, paramedic symbol on first response vehicles where I live, but with one extra 'arm' instead of the normal six. The spade/pick at top like an offshoot of something else, but is similiar to coal miners gravestone marker from eastern canada that i recall (they mined kms under the shoreline of the sea I am trying to remember a variant of this from a cemetary ... where there is no star of life at the bottom but the space it occupies is a gap in a larger image of an old skeleton key outline. Been a few places over my lifetime, took a lotta pics (none of this symbol that i recall), memory isnt as good as it used to be. Searching Gaggle for the parts Im familiar with didnt combine the several into one depiction though. Curious find

[@antoanto5301]

I wonder what the hand is pointing at? Excellent underground journey, Thank you Tino!

[@deathstarHQ]

The Templars and Christian Gnostics created and used ritualistic areas just like the one you came across in the tunnels, which is incredible.... A skull of the past grand master would be placed in the alcove to overlook the proceedings, the outline of bodies down both sides are where the Knights or gnostic priests would stand, the actual outline is carved into the stone by each leading member and is where they invoke a personal spirit of the mountain to stand behind them throughout the ritual, like in Egypt statue and carved reliefs were often used as a home for spirits to reside. Standing in front of the alter the carving of the Virgin Mary would be illuminated from candles at the base, the reason it's carved this way in a deep alcove, with statue sloping into the recess with blank faces at the top of the statue is to control where the light falls as the faces are the highest and recessed the deepest, this basically stops it from being illuminated, which assist in a kind of scrying the Templars used to do, also the Gnostics and Cathars were practitioners of this art too, while in a trance state they would allow their mind to superimpose the true face of the Virgin Mary and so where able to communicate and look into her eyes. Contrary to what most people will assume as Jesus being the faceless baby, but it's actually John.

The whole video was VERY interesting !! You said that there was a monastery there AND that the Templars were in the area. Considering that the Templar Knights revered Mary Magdalene and one of the counter theories is that she MAY have had a child with Jesus, if one chooses to believe this, to me that makes the "shrine" all the more interesting. However if I heard your friend correctly, he said the tunnels were there for about 300 years, as far as Templar Knights are concerned, there is a problem with the time line. Still..............

[@martinharris5017]

I like your line of thinking! Even though the original Templars were all rounded up and exterminated in 1314, I'm sure the theories and rumours of their continuation have truth to them. This would make a great location for a Dan Brown novel!

Tree of Life, the crossbones and the crossed shovel with pickaxe are much like masonic symbols. However, what looks as a hoe and the double-cross are not true masonic symbols. The hoe is quite a mistery to me, while the double cross seems to be a symbol of regeneration and baptism of Christ in certain eastern and gnostic trends. Some consider it as a symbol of promordial Chaos, but it seems this is a quite modern idea.
