This may have been a WWII bunker, but looks like it was utilized as recently up to the 80s or-early 90s There looked to be some modern electrical additions, the blue electrical boxes at 4:33. The filters had radioactive symbols on them, doubt the Germans were worried about nuclear in WWII. Some doors were wood and had relatively modern looking door knobs. Looks to have been used during the cold war era.

Very cool. Odd mix of modern and old equipment. It’s possible it was used as a fallout shelter until recently. That blue equipment in the power room looks very recent. To bad you didn’t get a manufactured date from them. The original equipment doesn’t seem to be in use. More evidence that the blue stuff is very modern as it so much smaller. The appliances don’t look like 1940s era. Most things are clean and rust free, like they were being taken care of and the humidity was being kept down. Hard to do underground in that climate. I expected to see signs of flooding. There maybe a pump still with power to keep it dry. What else, plastic bodied typewriter, modern track lighting in the control room, I thought I saw some beige plastic switches on the walls. Some of the phone equipment looked new. You may have been suffering a lack of oxygen, carbon monoxide or natural gas poisoning. You should explore with an air pack.

@@George-hs2zm Nuclear filters which R common. In alotta countries the filters R sealed but idiots open em... In the case of that bunker it appears there some other part network still in operations so those filters may be used or opened new.. The reasons those pumps R running and that place is still energized is there more than meets the surface as the Cliche goes... In America most military filters have dates on em... he should have looked at the date codes but then again if there is something else in operation possibly illegal they may leave old filters there on purpose. Many European bunkers are still powered up they know what the world and America can deliver at moments notice... With those HUGE fans running those fans are not for that surface bunker that is why U see those sealed off vent pipes like where he goes down inside that is a vent pipe and it went up in that challace stairs meaning shallow stairs as well as several of those 5 inch steel pipes have been capped off inside where he was at despite his lack of air that could be why. Those huge pumps could be pulling air from 4-5-6 miles away. Unlike mines only have a few vents and air shafts bunkers have more than one air supply route. Make a note of it... People that build their own bunkers at home notice that stuff immediately. Air needs to be drawn in and out.

Al the cabinet doors are open and the ventilation is running which means they’re trying to keep the moisture out, but the filter is probably full of mold depending when it was changed last so you might have gotten sick from bad air.

I think the reason you felt sick was the old paint finishes and lubrication oils “gassing off”. As these older single stage (un-catalyzed air dry) finishes deteriorate, they create seriously noxious chemical laden air in enclosed spaces. I think the reason you were able to enter that bunker is because someone was following a venting procedure (usually 24hrs with 100x cfm over volume). Modern bunkers use multistage epoxy or urethane finishes to avoid this toxicity problem and off-gassing of chemicals in enclosed spaces.

Those coffee makers and some of that electrical is late 80s or early 1990s vintage. Having an air pump running means there is more to that bunker than just the bunker. I have heard of 2 Austrian and a few Alaskan bunkers that run a few miles in length as well multiple levels. I can definitely tell ppl Wright Patterson runs more than 5-6 levels deep. There is bunker here locally the coal companies used it has a natural river running right thru the bunker. The coal company circa 1948 or so cut right thru the bunker by accident. I guess when people don't know things are there sheet can happen. There was a local road collapse several years ago whereas it took several months to solve the problem by building a bridge of sorts for restoring the road surface to normal. Local folks got in after work hours after road crews talked about finding tunnels and the bunker others went down took pictures.

Oxygen content is critical. there can be low O2/Oxygen levels due to gasses like radon or possibly ozone displacing the O2 not just CO2. Also radon gas is very harmful. Charcoal filters on a respirator will remove some harmful elements but the only remedy for low O2 levels is an O2 bottle.... or lots of fresh air movement and ventilation. Also inhaling mold spores can affect some people very badly with near immediate effects. Keep in mind how fast allergens in the air can affect a person. You should always use an N95 mask at the very least and have an O2 meter.Hopefully this place was not used as a clandestine Meth lab because the leftover chemicals will make you sick also.

This was used into the 70s or early 80s from the look of some of the stuff. It's a command center, likely focused on shipping lanes and/or lanes of attack. There is some fairly modern communications interfaces on the wall there, but it's interesting that they seem to have used the German terminal blocks for their phone circuits. The typewriter is 1970s vintage. Two of the 4 filters have radiological stickers on them, but the other two appear to be original-original. The set-up of the whole thing points to keeping a survivable command center should WWIII had started. Not unknown for NATO to reuse German structures like this for secure locations. The power is probably on because some of the circuits are still in use and just pass through there. The way you went in is likely for technical folks to service the active lines and such....but someone left the cover off for all our benefit! Or, could be a really crappy Air B&B lol. Amazing to see some of the original German systems still in use.

I enjoy your travels around Europe to see first hand the unbelievable amount of construction that had been done in such a short period. I'd like to see what you would think of going to smaller towns that were fairly untouched by the war and getting permission from some of the older residents that have lived through the war. Would imagine the amount of relics in attics and outbuildings would be staggering. Not to mention the possibly new places to go to.Just for looking at and getting their personal experiences would be very educational. Those that survived obviously had very rough lives for long after the war.

Thank you for returning to the bunker to record this video. As other commentators have said, it must have been the stale air, fumes, gas, etc, which made you light-headed and nauseous. It's certainly a very odd place and I imagine that it's a disused NATO bunker - ,the phonetic alphabet (Alpha, Bravo, etc), list, maps and diagrammes on the walls would suggest a NATO exercise with the Royal Danish Navy. But I wonder who's paying for the electricity bill...What will you and EE find next?

Might maybe a WW2 Bunker, but to me it looks more like a Cold-War Bunker. Too much "modern" cabeling and equipment. Looks like from the 80's to early 90's. Some switches (black, round ones) look older. So my conclusion is that this WW2 Bunker was partly modernized through cold-war times - as was done with many of them.

What an amazing find. Obviously a lot of work was done on that command bunker after the war, since a lot of the fittings are definitely not original, but it certainly gives you a great sense of what it would have been like under German occupation. I suspect during your first time through, you found a pocket of "bad air". Possibly in the room marked "LAB" with the skull and crossbones post it note under the sign. With the doors closed, and only the ventilation pump running, and no other movements to disturb the air, like people moving around, "bad air" can build up just from mould, or fittings like wood, paint, etc. slowly decomposing, and giving off who knows what chemicals. Perhaps this is why the ventilation pump was left running and no one was home. Someone was just giving the system time to clear the old air out, and circumstance just put you in the right place at the wrong time. Thankfully our favourite HH was okay, and like the trooper he is, continued on with the exploration. Many thanks my friend for showing us this fascinating bunker. Stay safe, stay well!

@@WW2HistoryHunter Part of Confined Spaces training helps you to identify such hazards. Most of the caves and bunkers you have explored have had reasonable natural air flow, but that bunker, being buried, with only that small entrance, would have next to zero air flow, so if the air pumps are off, which would be most of the time, the air goes bad, oxygen levels drop, and anyone entering can become light headed, panicky, disoriented, and nauseous. Like you did. You did the right thing, getting out straight away. By the time you went back in, you had disturbed the air enough to make it a little better. Happily, it all came good. Stay safe my friend. Cheers to EE, and BBG.

It looks like someone was there very recently, also some of the boxes look like modern ones. The puking feeling might be a gas leak which might indicate that it's being used by a gas company.

Outstanding find HH, glad you didn't go down the tube headfirst. That is a heck of a mix of German and Local post war. I can tell you that the blue console in the map room sells for $3,000 as it sat there. Did it have a machine gun point on the other end? That the power is still on is a bewildering thing. I wonder if a group of local kids are/were using it as a playhouse. No military would have hyphenated the communications label. This is still a great find. Wonder if there was an EMI field being generated or in the case of becoming ill an area was flooded with ultrasonics. We used to use it as an intruder defense but most states here it is illegal. Glad you are ok no apparent damage and you are well. Greetings to the family. Stay safe and well out there.

That's a cold war bunker as nuclear filtration wasn't developed until the late 50s and 60s Modern equipment has been added like the blue boxes on the wall and with electrics running means someone was down there just before you entered. Some of the doors and doorframes are fairly new. Its in the middle of being refurbished as much of whats in their is probably less then 20 to 30 years old. Its probably an observation and communication strategic bunker. But definitely has been recently entered and worked on just before you entered, always go with a rad meter a particle meter and pollution meters so you know wht you could be facing. The dizziness is likely stale air and lack of oxygen in the air, a particle monitor could warn you of this.

In retrospect, I guess the fact the ventilation was running and the entrance (originally the emergency exit?) was open might have been a clue that the air quality was not good, and it was being flushed out. Say safe and remember to always carry the air quality tester at all times. The symptoms you described reminded me of my father's description of the effects of mild nerve gas exposer he was subjected to whilst doing his national service with the RAF in the early 1950s (so they would recognize the symptoms in the event of a chemical attack).

This has to be one of your best bunker finds to date! Great work!!! In the room next to the one with the stove/ fridge and running fan I could have sworn I saw a green colored phone? If it was a phone I was hoping that you would have picked it up to see if it had a dial tone. That would have been” really cool” or if someone said hello when you picked up the handset? I would have loved to see your reaction. Can’t wait for the eastern front work to start showing up! Stay safe and healthy you guys. Ron Ps; The more I think about this bunker, I can’t stop wondering if it was used by the US or NATO ( English writing everywhere) during the cold or post Cold War years depending on if it was located in East or West Germany? Also, the open manhole should have ( I think ) let a fair amount of moisture in depending on how long it’s been open? The stairs were dry as well as the floor at the bottom of the stairs. The walls and ceiling were dry too! The blower must be removing moisture somehow and is equipped with another source for fresh dry air? The only rust that I saw was on the safes and a little on the hardened doors? A truly spooky place to visit if you let your mind wander! I can picture clandestine special operations or spies working out of there. Think of the 007 tools and tricks of the trade being developed there for “ Their eyes only”!!!
