BATTERY LINDEMANN - The remains

One of the largest coastal batteries installed during the second world war, and yet today very little remains of it.
Viewer request that if possibly I could visit this site and show what was left, so here you go. the sad remains of one of the great guns.
Sorry for the wind it was brutal, and as I am still traveling and filming throughout Europe, all for your next seasons I am keeping it short. Any other requests email me.
PS I will be happy to dive the lake once the weather improves!

Great video, as always!! Thanks for all the work you do preserving history for everyone to learn from.

Watching from half away around the world at my lunch break. Warm Regards and thanks for taking me with you!

Thanks for the video Tino, please do keep up the good work Sir!

[@NigelDixon1952]

As always, thank you Tino. I always look forward to your videos and I'm never disappointed. Just excellent!

[@Rustinox]

Batterie Todt is not far from there and more or less accessible. It's a bit similar to Batterie lindeman. In Turm1 is a museum with some very interesting pieces. The railway gun is a "must see"

[@berndrosgen1713]

I am sure he will explain the development of the big cost bunkers and guns. Also Batterie Großer Kurfürst is part of it.

Great video bro 👍 God bless bro keep it going 🙏 💯

Great work these cannon and bunkers are interesting

[@motorcycleman58]

Very intresting,, you realy are doing a great job

[@rolfagten857]

Dear Herr von Struckmann, it is of course sad that the Lindemann bunker is largely buried. Fortunately, there are other parts of the Atlantik Wall that are better preserved. Keep it up !

[@barthoving2053]

Burying it is actually a cheap way to preserve it. And there are simply to many defensive structures in Europe to preserve them all.

[@rolfagten857]

@@barthoving2053 Yes I know, but the largest bunker of the Lindemann position is under the man-made lake. Then it is a shame for tourists not to be able to see this world famous bunker, it is like ordering a hamburger with fries but only receiving a few fries.

[@SebastiaanKr]

The museum Batterij Todt is also great to watch 👍🏻

Sad that it was covered up at such a late date understandable in the earlier post war period. Interesting video though,I never knew about the waterproof tar before.

Thank you Tino Struckmann

TINO... WALK & TALK THIS scheisse... THANK YOU... DANKE

[@ageingviking5587]

Good stuff Tino . Thank you.... It is puzzling why so much stuff from ww2 gets destroyed . There are other places owned by bad people that are actually used as tourist attractions and a damn site older than ww2 . Thanks again Tino and I am really glad you didn't blow away (or lose another drone) wink!

[@barthoving2053]

People seem to forget how huge the Atlantic wall is. It's simply impossible to maintain it all and you can ask yourselves if opening a thousand bunkers let's you tell a significant better story then a dozen or a couple of hundreds of bunkers. And unmaintained bunker complexes hold a level of danger. If you want to preserve it, burying it is actually the cheapest way.

[@johnjenkins6547]

Awesome video! Thankyou!

[@davidroland6431]

Cheers!!! Great video!!! I think they could build them more reinforced & strong. it seem a bit weak for a cannon position & base that can be heavily atacked many times. Thank you so much for all these explorationes!!!

[@benjaminrush4443]

Possibly this installation was destroyed by the Allies prior to D Day to convince the Germans that this site was the Invasion Site. It would have been real good to explore and see if it had been possible to restore. I bet it was so damaged, they had to brick up & cover as much as possible. What a tourist site if it was museum quality. On a day like this, it would have been nice to go to the Caffe and have a cup of coffee ( coco ) and a French pastry and/or sandwich. Thanks for the effort..

[@pedrocoentro2009]

Thank you 😊

[@stevebarmore3509]

i managed to get in to Turm -4 back in the 90s before the grafit was there the murals in this bunker need protecting and the art work restoring

[@russcattell955i]

Perhaps the spoil dumped over the casements will preserve them. Maybe future generations will uncover & discover. I live near the SW French Atlantic coast, some of the bunkers are now in the surf due to coastal erosion. Two were demolished at "Le Grand-Village-Plage" on Ile d' Oleron as they became unstable after cyclone Xynthia.

[@nickcox3497]

Don't mind the voice over because I know I rather be able to hear what you have to say. Can't learn about history if we can't hear you. 🤣🤣

[@andrewpease3688]

I don't know if you can visit at the moment, but the coupole and eperlecquec are amazing and not far away

[@fasthracing]

LOTS to see in the Calais area. I have been MANY times!

[@shauntemplar.26]

What does one say other than horrified. I've never been here but I know many people who have and each one who goes here says the same thing. It's German nobody wants to care it's a part of history everybody, even 76 years on, is still trying to escape from. This site isn't being preserved; it's just been left to rack and ruin. Tino, it makes me angry, not every German soldier was a Nazi and it's a part of history that we should never ever be able to forget. our grandfather's fought for freedom against Nazi tyranny and even though these locations well locations where they used to show the UK from and many people died from there shelling it is still not right to just let nature overwhelm these locations, this should be preserved at all cost till the younger generation who will grow up knowing what the Allies did fighting for freedom and who it was they were fighting and the locations that were so important during World War II You know we have nothing like this in the United Kingdom. We have nothing made by the Germans because the Germans never got to the United Kingdom. The only British territory they occupied was one of the outer Islands British colonies (Guernsey) but I could be wrong. it's just bloody sacrilege. If it's made by Germans, destroy it if it was created by Nazis, destroy it if it's anything to do with the access powers then destroy it and let's hope the world forgets about it but there are people like you Tino. myself and millions of others around the world who would like to see these places preserved maybe even turned into a museum but at the very least looked after. I know we can't look after every location and turn every site into a museum but this site is an important site as a military site that should have been preserved.

[@pimpinaintdeadho]

Love to see the viewpoint of those that were there.

[@robertsmart4628]

Are you going anywhere near the tannenberg line on your travels. So bloody interesting. .

[@bobbysenterprises3220]

You are awesome

[@sprayhawk808]

If you are taking requests..... I've got personal interest in the actions in/around Dillingen (Saar) Germany in December, 1944 - have friends / visited the area several times. I've seen some signs of combat in Dillingen and Saarlouis, been in the restored bunkers in Merzig and Dillingen, but got the 'tourist' tour - not alot of details about the actions that happened there. Another interest in that area during WWII, my great uncle was a pilot in the 395th Panzer Dusters, flying the P47. He flew out of Metz - then Capt Howard 'Swede' Jensen (he was Danish, but the nickname stuck). And, if you get back to Denmark - anything there is of interest to me, especially if it is from the areas around Suldrup and Smidstrup - those are the towns where my family traces it's roots to... Looking forward to your travels, where ever they take you.

[@claudemoulun8426]

Je me souviens avoir vu la batterie entière dans les premières années 50,et j'ai gravé dans ma mémoire l'image d'un canon amputé au chalumeau.....

[@lynnesherwood3748]

Any possibility you'll be near the bridge at Ramagan? My dad was attached to the 3rd or 9th division. He waited at Wegel. He also was AAA and saw a German plane get shot down into the Rhine Don't know if he personally had anything to do with the downing. Thanks for these great videos.

If you are still in Calais there is a great rail gun bunker near the centre of town.

Where are you going in Norway? Im from the westcoast (near Haugesund) and have not heard mutch of the Norwegian side of the war since we are only thought that germans where bad and british + amarican good. Love your channel and looking forward to more of your videos 😊👍🏻

[@oleriis-vestergaard6844]

As so many bunkers orginating from ww2 there has been times when they were not wanted but as time goes by the interest or the history of the war has been groving and lots of people travel to see these bunkers - in Denmark the story is the same , nobody wanted the Concrete buildings but that has all changed today

[@jono8884]

Were the casemates on low ground? Seems like they should have been on the elevated position.

[@jamico7]

You are incorrect about the ship painting, that is a wall painting in the fire control bunker, the shot tally armour plate is on the seafront Dover,

Batteri Lindemann was named to honour the memory of the Battleship Bismarck's fallen Kapitan Ernst Lindemann who died 80 years ago yesterday 27/5/1941! The 16 inch (406 cm) guns were taken from the Kriegsmarine scrapped H Class Battleships!

Battery Trondenes outside of Harstad Norway has all 4 of the Adolf Canons still intact although only one has been maintained in functioning condition. The other 3 are kept painted. The Norwegian military uses the one operating canon for target practice on cruise ships filled with obese American tourists.
