That is some crazy place it's amazing too thank you for your hard work bringing this video to us 🎉🎉🎉

[@williamlilleston1595]

thanx TINO...outstanding as always !

[@daveweiss5647]

Your enthusiasm for radiators is endearing... I have some nostalgia for them as well having grown up in the 80s when they were still prevalent... but being a kid having also burnt myself on a few... I remember them well...haha, very cool fort, thanks for sharing! I can't wait for part 2! Also, I noticed some very cool French military art on one of the doorways that I think you may have missed!

[@coreyshaw3701]

Nothing like a little fixer upper to keep you busy! What an amazing place this is. It seems endless. That had to be a really tough and terrifying battle to take this place.

[@liamegan4303]

Hello from Ireland again, Tino. Another brilliant video my Friend. Keep it up. 🙏🙏💯👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@tinostruckmann]

@@liamegan4303 I'm trying I've got enough to last us until next year

[@liamegan4303]

@tinostruckmann Ah you're a Legend Tino. Respect Mate

[@1978JonBullock]

This site has so much history left inside. I'm glad you never completely fell through the floor Tino. Thank you for taking us on this adventure.

[@harrygroen69]

it would make a great place for a living community with my best friends. 😁 Thanks for the tour Tino!!

[@adriananderson4530]

Isn’t it amazing that the battles And the Forts , that were built and fought on around Was on land that is no sought by property developers Well done troops , good foresight On your place on in history is now a luxury hotel

[@marktheyoungest666]

Thank you Tino,looking forward to the next episode

[@bruceklassen8261]

Another amazing episode. I don’t know if it was by design, or accident but when you’re marching on the gravel, you can just envision the soldiers marching there.

[@cliffordfreeman7829]

Back for what I was late on. I am very interested in this video.

[@tyroneenglish5248]

Great video Tino.

[@swanseamale47]

Fascinating to see. Thank you.

[@unclekevin5094]

You should visit the Fort Hackenberg at Veckring which is just a few miles down the road. It is being restored to its pre war condition and there are guided tours available which last over 2 hours. It also held up the allies advance when in the hands of the Germans but because the guns were fixed firing in one direction the allies send a few tanks around the back and pounded it for a few hours until the Germans decided to surrender.

[@colindickinson153]

That was some find TINO.

[@TheYeti308]

I like the Greetings Kiosk by the doorways .

[@smalcolmbrown]

Thanks :)

[@tinostruckmann]

Welcome!

[@patchmack4469]

i'd almost say this place is a gold mine, and definitely needs saving immediately Tino - what an incredible place, and with its history, why isn't it open to the public?, another place i'd be happy to stay in and assist in clean up, a lick of paint (i got 40 cans of 25Kg white) - i never even considered these places would be heated, so all these these rooms you always assume have generators (some do obviously) must of had some furnaces or oil burning boilers for the water

[@ChrisHipkiss]

Interesting vibe Tino, more than meets the eye in my mind! All the existing vent tubes and heavy cabling suggest another use? Brill thanks.

[@robleppala5114]

Hey hey hey:) 😮did you see that ghost😮

[@volkerkalhoefer3973]

You should go back in the winter when the foliage is gone!

[@mauriceshanahan8758]

Apart from the scrappers work it is so interesting to see the bare bone original infrastructure fantastic work Tino

[@rrs1379]

a 2 hour episode would be great

[@tinostruckmann]

@@rrs1379 the next one is a little longer I just found that with long episodes many people don't stick with them and I don't want anybody to miss what's next

[@baxter3998]

Another great story!! How do you do it and all by yourself this time with no fear

[@aRGee1965]

greeat video Tino, just wondering why so much wood was used for the construction of this fortress because of the fire risk... Will look after the next episode this weekend. Thanx for this one! I enjoyed it.

[@tinostruckmann]

@@aRGee1965 if I were to come up with a guess which I'm now officially doing I would think it's because the Fortress was still under construction right up until 1914 at the beginning of World War 1 and there may have been a material supply situation necessitating the traditional cement over metal covers being replaced by wooden ones out of expedience

[@equaliser2265]

Just drove past here today.

[@tealc240]

excellent. Wondering how the french Mosikitos were treating you?

[@WilliamCollins-sh6lm]

Unsubbed for what 3rd time ??? So resubbed one more time... Good job guy !!!

[@richardbritton5280]

ty amazing

[@dreawallace9270]

Next week! Ahhhhhh ok.😦

[@Teresa-ih4sn]

OMG! Tino why are you walking around on creaky floors all by yourself!!? What if something happened? Sorry. Went into Mom mode there for a moment. This is a very cool place. But, be careful!❤

[@CRSolarice]

57:27 Shattered concrete floor; pieces are the size of goofballs. But what is the dark colored object inside of the large diameter pipe.

[@raymondleggs5508]

Sad looking place

[@jojokeavy2835]

UAP caught on this video at 1.45 👀

[@CRSolarice]

32:08 So, would any unexploded ordinance be so old and "weathered" that it would either have already cooked off or is no longer capable of doing so? Or have so many explosions occurred in some of these rooms that unexploded ordinance simply wouldn't be possible? Because it seems to be quite clear that there were multiple, very massive detonations that occurred throughout the entire structure. (I have the thought that where some of the concrete floors are missing that they were literally turned into rubble and dust by the massive detonations that were conducted). 21:32 And just to be quite forward about this I think that they never really cleaned up the place because no one wanted to pick up the fragments of so many that met their end in these areas, where the explosions were so fierce that there are hundreds, if not more, that were simply vaporized and have been left in this place unaccountable for. The scrappers likely found one or two of the more recognizable fragments and left screaming in terror. (You almost react to some areas of destruction as if you are subconsciously sensing spirits or ghosts). How many died in this series of explosive melees? The destruction is incredible and I am left to wonder what some of the wreckage once was when it was in one piece. Its incredible and you have every right to have turned back at every position that you did so. The place has every right to be the most hauntable place on this Earth. Rest their souls. 21:35 I am by no means superstitious but I tell you this, there is something in this particular area. Something not discernible and I for one wouldn't go in there for anything, whatsoever.

Europa does me head in Tino just tit for tat squabbling and Wars be wicked to see all of it cos im a WW2 glutton with the old man and his other brothers seeing Combat from Bayoney Charges in the Pacific to Tank Action in Italy and Taking on German Paratroopers in Crete , Family events were like Education Classes growing as a kid in the 70s & 80s - cheers for The Farrell chapters too mate , as Always its a Thumbs up mate , Regards CJ 🇦🇺👌

[@leonkohli5745]

There was something else near Metz / Nancy, a converted cool room into a gas chamber, possible the only one, mustard gas was used here.. from there it gets interesting

Nature seems to flourish when the soil is fertilized with the blood of combatants .

[@hoppycom888]

Tito, here's my question was this fort defined by regular German Army or by a SS Division. If the fighting was that fearsome I would think a SS Division.

[@ElCidBarett]

Good condition, i'd like to see you open an unknown bunker, not entered since ww2, maybe a skeleton in uniform at the entrance, that would be something, a forgotten battlefield.
