Hidden WW2 Weapon in the Mountains

[@frankintx699]

Thanks Chris, for a great history lesson and showing us this bunker "Pillbox" and cave. I am70 and learned something new again. We also had them in the US but the ones I went to in NC were closed and they had no gun turrets on top.👍👍

[@hanefar11]

Glad you're enjoying my home Country! Really wish there was a way to show you some spots in Kristiansand that you missed! Have a good vacation!

[@debbiebrewington7635]

Oh I don’t think any of this was a bust! Such history you are touching. Can’t even imagine - those poor men, the anguish and the longing for home. Think of the spirits that are still there. 😢 Thank you for all your videos, so incredibly interesting. 😊

[@sophiaisabelle027]

We appreciate how well you've articulated your own insights. Keep up the good work.

[@ericj.w.ruijssenaars3421]

The multi storey bunker is the fire control bunker, it housed the rangefinder Equipment. There is a similar coastal battery near my hometown in the Netherlands. Thanks for sharing Chris! Stay safe and good travels.

Hi, Chris, it's simply amazing to be here exploring Nazi WWII bunkers here on the Atlantic wall with you. I'm used to exploring them with WWII History Hunter and his son "Eagle Eyes", so you may have run across the in your travels, they often have HH's daughter "Bunker Buster Girl" with them when she is available. They often travel all across Europe and Poland in their explorations and they may be able to lead you to other interesting locations. God Bless and stay safe.💯🪖

[@EphemeralProductions]

Can you imagine how LOUD it was in those batteries when those big guns went off?! I’m sure most of those guy came out of the war mostly deaf. If not then I don’t know how. lol

[@Mikemonoa-hz2rz]

There is so so much you did not learn at school, believe me on that.

I have always been intrigued by history but have never been able to visit those sites. Thank you for going there and showing us where it all took place. I look forward to all your videos.

[@Carolbearce]

Thanks Chris, this place is amazing and the view were awesome.

[@rossydee]

Hey mate hope you read this. The German battleship ‘Tirpitz’ was hidden in Norway during WW2. It was found found by the allies and bombed and then sunk. I don’t think any of it is left now but you can see bomb craters etc.. might be a cool place to check out !!! Cheers bro

[@nedludd7622]

Maybe there are still remnants of the Norwegian coastal defenses at the beginning of WWII. You could maybe do one on those. A famous battle was that of Drobak Sound.

[@Mypandaloves]

So amazing to see that. You’re lucky you are able to go visit these pieces of history. Great job!

[@Liz-cmc313]

It's a safe bet, if I were to visit, I'd never leave. What a cool find.

I like to see WW2 videos of history. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I live in Moore County N.C and we have what is called the lost city not far from where i live, and i remember being young and my dad was out drinking and aske if i wanted to see the lost city where it was a small town and everyone just up and left. I was told by a man who was in the same vicinity of woods we were looking and they old man told my father we had about a half mile to a mile more and he pointed the way and my father said, I only brought 4 beets with me, im out and ready for another so we left. My dad used his cans to use for markers on the way out and about 12 urs later i went looking and i found a couple of the natural light cans my dad hung up with one of the cans growing on a limb. I still couldn't find it, and i guess thats why its called the lost city, but i was told a few months ago of an old timer that knows how to get to it, so i hope to find him to show me. There is so much cool history here in N.C. that you could make all kinds of videos, and I personally think you will make the perfect person to make these videos and keep our history going. Thanks, Chris, and may God bless you on your trips.

The two bunkers, one of which you climbed into are for spotters and gun battery control for the gun implacement batteries.

[@billyknight2874]

Can you imagine being behind that gun and hearing all them bullets hitting that shield. That had to be really loud and frightening cause e you never know if one was gonna make it through the little opening and hit you.

There is a film called Das boat… trying to get as near the name as poss… The Boat. It’s amazing because it’s based on fact. A little bit surprised at seeing the water lying in the bottom of the bunker. We have been in a few of these and there does always seem to be water on the floor even when not near a river. Thank you … it’s surprising and interesting.

[@justbrowsing6327]

I wonder if the bricked up parts still contain ammunition that is water damaged, perhaps it is easier to leave it and seal up the entrance rather than try move it. I can't imagine another reason that they would brick up only some sections and not others.

Amazing what can be accomplished with German engineering and supervision and slave labor.

[@jeffreydavis2578]

Still incredible engineering nonetheless

[@JGriffin5150]

German engineering was definitely superior no doubt

[@frontenac5083]

Lol! Utter nonsense, as usual. Most German tanks for instance were _overengineered_ and even downright unfit for purpose (because too big, not having a powerful enough engine, etc.). The system of overlapping wheels for example was a terrible idea that needlessly complicated repairs in the field. Same for the rifles, the components were too neatly assembled, which sounds good but in fact meant the gun would jam easily because of mud or dust, etc. German bunkers and the like were absolutely wasteful in dearly needed resources and often perfectly strategically useless. Sure, some German things might've been somewhat OK (often by accident, to be frank) but overall, the German incompetence in matters of engineering and production contributed for a large part to their inevitable defeat. @@JGriffin5150

[@Keithphotorama]

It’s the engineering that interests me because my dream is to build a strong tornado proof house that I can feel safe and confident. Imagine sitting in a chair watching a tornado slamming into your house.
