Massive Crumbling WWII Fortress

Battery Vara was a strategic placement of massive guns to block the Skagerrak Strait. It was later renamed Fort Movik once the Norwegian army took control.

I lmao when she told him that was the venomous snake and he snaps his head back at it like oooooh shit.....lol

[@markwestervelt9708]

Truly amazing. Absolutely no graffiti to be found. If this was in America it would be covered.

[@hordakalpha]

An incredible relic of history preserved instead of neglected and covered in mindless graffiti. Nat Geo shows don’t hold a candle to Chris who literally takes us into these places. Another awesome journey, I look forward to the next stop in living history.

[@skiespull2319]

Even then there was graffiti by the base of the gun sadly

[@MrIdasam]

You and “The History Underground” should connect and do a video.

[@hargas1974]

I agree. JD and Chris would be a great combination. I enjoyed both channels.

These forts are a safety hazard and should be demolished or blown up with explosives.

[@Randyronald999]

​@@PreservationEnthusiasthahaha no....your crazy.

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

@@Randyronald999 No, there have been many examples of unsafe remnants from WW2 being demolished to make them safe.

[@andrewhorwood1058]

Norway's snakes are mildly venomous. Not often deadly. Amazing size of that gun. I have explored many war ruins there but not that one.

[@dwade6322]

You REALLY get around fella ! We appreciate your dedication. 👍

[@glc1183]

Your video does a good job of demonstrating the scale of military equipment, emplacements, etc. that were part of WWII. I'm surprised that all the equipment and buildings are so open and accessible - makes for a great tour. Great video-keep up the good work - thanks

[@Jeger_von_Helsfyr]

Very interesting video, thank you! Norway under Nazi occupation was a part of Atlantic Wall defence (Atlantikwall in german), a system of coastal forts and defences that streched all the way from south west coast of France, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark to Norway. Allied intelligence tricked nazis in to thinking that they gonna do a seaborne Invasion and jeopardize nazi supply of iron ore that they were shipping from Narvik, which was very important for nazi war industry. That is why Nazi Germany invested heavily in to fortifying norwegian coast.

[@georgeloveless4176]

I love WW2 history. My grandfathers were all their and the respect I have for veterans of that war, or for any war, is immense. By the time our troops reached this point, the violence and fighting was unimaginable. So many men gave the ultimate sacrifice and I forever feel indebted to them. Great video...thank you so much.

[@stepps511]

You know, Chris, when you mentioned at the end about all of that being built by "whom" and for "what", I totally related. There is something admirable about the ingenuity that went into all of those bunkers, etc. but the purpose for it all, and the minds behind it, are so totally loathesome. Thanks, as always, for taking us with you.

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

Always enjoy exploring these old Atlantic Wall fortifications. Thanks for sharing this one with us. 👍🏻

[@MobileInstinct]

It's amazing how many are still around!

[@hanefar11]

This is my hometown of Kristiansand! I would absolutely love to take you on a hike to show you where they quarrantined sick people in the 1800 and 1700s. It's a very cool place and has clear remnants from when they built walls to keep the sick people from going to town. edit: That's not the adder, that's the slettsnok. The Adder has a very distinct black zig zag pattern. (hoggorm) But always treat all snakes like they're deadly is a good idea.

[@Chris-df1or]

WW2 is so historic, And the way mobile instinct breaks it all down is terrific 😊

[@originalsixx]

Wow, from the Pittsburgh area to Norway! Nice!

[@JohnCompton1]

As absolutely massive as that gun was,the U.s. Iowa class battleships had NINE even larger guns! Now that must've been loud....Thanks so much for sharing!

[@darkraven8103]

Had? I think you mean HAVE as they all still exist.

[@HobbyWithRea]

Dang, that snake! Your face, thou whenever you find out it was venomous.Thank you so much for the wonderful videos from Norway. They're amazing.

[@bradbundy1471]

Great video as always! Man, you are so good at what you do! We are in our early 70s and appreciate the way you bring history alive again. It means alot to us. Thank you! 🤠🧑‍🦰🌲🌲🌲 🎼

[@wendysmith8246]

Awesome video Chris Thank-you for sharing this with us! Watch out for snakes!!!😮

[@Pandaluv75]

This was amazing to see. I can’t imagine what that’d be like to see in person. Thanks for doing these. This is extremely interesting

[@Finneeey]

Been there once a few years ago and there is literally something everywhere to be found. Especially in the regions from Bergen to Trondheim, there are literally bunkers, pillboxes and other emplacements everywhere. On multiple occasions i went for a walk and just unintentionally stumbled upon some concrete emplacements which were almost definitely WW2 stuff.

[@01FozzyS]

Of course the one snake you come across has to be the bad one. lol Good stuff,Chris!

[@shawnburns4780]

“Love it or hate it this is history” put that on a poster because yessir it’s not always pretty but it’s there to remember and learn!

[@dezertraider]

VERY VERY COOL CHRIS..CANT WAIT TO SEE MORE..ITS SAD IN R.I. AND MANY OTHER PLACES IN THE NE HAD FORTS LIKE THIS.AND NO FORESIGHT TO PRESERVE THEM..AFTER MILLIONS IF NOT BILLIONS OF DOLLARS,WE TRASHED THEM. SAFE TRAVELS..

I'm amazed never have I seen or heard about bunkers in other countries just something to think about, Thanks for taking us along for history lesson always a blessing Chris

[@mikepaz8385]

It’s amazing how pristine everything is after so many years!

[@MobileInstinct]

Yeah they were built to last for sure

[@connor_who]

I didn't get a chance to go to the museum when I visited Kristiansand but it was such a nice costal city!

[@JohnShinn1960]

Imagine if this was Any City, USA, the graffiti. Almost missed this one. Thanks for the tour Chris! 🤠👍

[@rapids444]

Thank you for showing the in-place gun. I've seen so many of the remnants of those guns and knew they'd be huge, but seeing it intact was very nice to see.

[@valariebedard2164]

WOW! Chris! That was very interesting the history is always amazing to me. I was wondering where you disappeared to! Be safe... great stories. Nice take..

[@lorraineperry8232]

Hey Chris... I love this type of historical content video.... gives me vibes of Ghosts of the past like everyone who had anything to do with these types of places would be dead now.... its hard to explain, but I get really eerie feelings when you take us through these historical landmarks and i love it..... as soon as I saw that snake and saw how the tail narrowed at the tip like it did, I knew it was an Adder.... please be careful and i hope to see a lot more historical vids like this one.... take care :)

[@williammaisonet8228]

Norway?!? Bro! You’re the GOAT

[@RobsNeighbor]

Travels abroad, Thank you Chris!

[@abbywolff7]

Quite a video and very interesting too. Look forward to the next one.Thanks.

[@placidrenegade]

I visited the bunkers in Normandy few years ago now abd the battery at longe sur mer where they filmed the longest day film. Fascinating the engineering and the lengths the gernans went to during the second world war.. Also soare a thought to the poor souls who built them.

[@phylliswurm9473]

Alot of history shown here. Great video.

[@rp42069]

This is so interesting to see! I cant wait to see all your videos on this adventure. Thank you for sharing.

[@Zavijava1]

Those bunkers are very similar to ones on our coast here in Oregon & Washington.a lot of which go back to Civil War days and of course later defense needs.everything in concrete...very interesting thanks

[@michaelmcenery7515]

awesome video as always, Chris so glad your showing todays generation the history our parents lived thru be carefull safe travels and enjoyy Norway & there food!

[@ianmaddams9577]

Awesome Chris . More stuff like this is great

[@zillsburyy1]

i like how they restored it. most places remove everything

[@Ganiscol]

Chris in Europe - That's always cool to see and I hope we get a lot more out of it! 😊 11:32 - That looks like one of those propellant bag pass-through mechanisms. Although a bit small for the size of bag needed for an 38cm / 15" gun. Perhaps the gun in that bunker was of smaller caliber.

[@tommywood343]

This is very interesting military history of WW2. Thank you Chris for this awesome video. And stay safe 🇺🇸

[@GeorgeBeyond]

Great video, the whole complex is still in relatively good shape. Impressive stuff!

I like your vocalization, it's definitely helpful for me learning English. Subscribed👍

[@ctaber2011]

Adder's are timid, only bite when stepped on or picked up so as long as you don't step on one, and wearing pants should be fine :).

[@ctaber2011]

They do come in different looks though, some can be black like that one, some can have markings.

Death adder would have been very slow due to the weather. As long you kept your distance your okay. If that hot day sunny day it woyld have been moving quickly around to face you. First strike is a warning, second you knw the rest. But all in all I enjoyed the vlog of history of world war 2. Looking forward to your next vlog of your journey.

[@meredithgreenslade1965]

Imagine how much cost was put into building such a complex fort. They would have spared no money establishing it and building it fast i would think.

[@AndrewFaversham]

Fun fact: when they fired one of the cannons for the first time, the German command thought it was a very good idea to have the Russian prisoner’s of war to fire the cannon . So In the case something went wrong no German life were lost. The Cannon worked but the German officers stood a little close to the cannon and the went deaf and they got severely concussed. So you could say the plan backfired on the Germans….

[@robertrosicki9290]

The size of that complex makes me think of the labor and effort that went into it's construction . Most likely constructed with the suffering agony and death of forced slave labor .
