Want to see what`s inside a REAL German WW2 bunker ?

[@DLT-po6to]

Translation for the Propaganda written on the walls: 2:08 Original: "Wir sind vergänglich aber Deutschland muss leben" English: "We are transient but Germany must live" 2:33 This one is actually a rhyme, a two line poem. Hard to translate directly. Original: "Gefangen sein, bringt harte Pein, drum ficht, bis dir das Auge bricht" English: "Being captured brings terrible pain, so fight until your eyes break. This is meant to motivate the soldiers to fight to the death. Being german myself this is very intersting to see, propaganda like this and especially everything with a swastika on it was destroyed after the war. Things like that bring colour to the stories of my grandfathers. In the last years of the war they did not fight for the nazi ideology, they fought for their Vaterland, for their wifes and children at home. Or because they were terrified by the idea of ending in a soviet prison. Just like every soldier would. This all makes me sad ...

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks for taking time to comment and watch.

[@DLT-po6to]

WW2HistoryHunter You are welcome. Thank you for showing me those places!

[@Callmehkitten6]

Allies should not have destroyed so many historical German places pictures bunkers etc after the war should have been kept for future generations that normal German servicemen was just doing there duty to protect there families and country only Gestapo and SS was assholes I met some German veterans and was so friendly and stories of British and German soldiers helping each other if injured

[@DLT-po6to]

@@Callmehkitten6 Well they set the world on fire. At least our half of the world. We lost so much ... but i can't deny that it was completely justified. One of my grandfathers was in the Waffen-SS. He was a nazi until he died a few years ago. He was a nice guy really, but he strongly believed in the superiority of the german race. Which is ridiculous of course. He always told my brother and me that we would have been officers in the SS as well, since we were strong, blonde and purely arian. Well ... as you can imagine it wasn't always easy to get along with him ... but yeah, he was still my grandfather and part of who i am, right? He was made this way by the teachings of his days. So getting rid of everything nazi related probably was a good idea after the war. Together with the decision by our western friends not to punish my people for what they have done, but to give them a new chance and help them with money and ressources. That was the only way to overcome the hate and create peace in eruope. We will never forget that. But there are still quite a lot of nazi buildings left all over germany. Many were simply too strong to be destroyed. In my city there are many big bunkers left (Hochbunker). Pretty much the only buildings that survided the war, apart from most of the churches. My city had and still has an important steel and swire industry as well as one of the biggest freight train stations in western europe. They never stood a chance to survive the heavy bombing for weeks on end.

[@sideshowbob1544]

That's the first time I've ever seen a German mechanical firing computer! I think that's the best bunker you've had on your show so far! It's great seeing all the original equipment still in place!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Great to hear Bob and thanks for watching.

[@misterspitfire6564]

It's a pleasure to see such a well preserved location. Thank you for yet another brilliant video!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks Kev.

[@DKing-jg7fl]

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks King

[@rontorrence7905]

Wow, a fully stocked and preserved bunker, The size of that gun is amazing. I am glad they preserved and restocked must be part of a historic park. thank you for sharing this amazing site.

[@johnkillian9192]

I try to picture what the bunkers look like and to see one like it was back then. Thank you for showing this my friend. As always great video.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks John.

[@Hyper_Fox06]

That is absolutely incredible. The amount of work acquiring relics to make a fully restored bunker must have been immense.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks for watching.

[@jerryseebaugh231]

Absolutely stunning to see how intact the facility is and it gives insight into the way it was during that time frame...truly a reminder of history...thanks for your hard work and presenting such a good view into the past

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks jerry

[@LiSa.N.J]

Great video.... A lot of the things you find and places you take us really come together with this video.. Thank you very much for posting. I learned even more history today.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks for watching.

[@MjrCarnyx]

Wow that is a really awesome place. I can't wait for my daughter to be old enough to join me in the museum trips. I have so many here in the Ardennes :) Thanks for making this cool video and of course for sharing it. Cheers & happy hunting :)

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

good to hear , you must take here along. Thanks my friend.

[@timetogodoug]

Fascinating bunker, real history there, remarkable condition, thanks!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks for watching.

[@doctordweeb8752]

What a terrific site! So great that they have restored the site with all those artifacts. Wish I could actually visit the site and spend the day going through it. Probably never will happen so I greatly appreciate you taking us along on these fantastic trips! Thank you so very much!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@chevywheels56]

Mr. HistoryHunter this, I believe, is the best yet! This was GREAT history. Thank you very much for the tour! ! ! !

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks Chevy

[@robkeeley3823]

Such a amazing video....I makes your other bunker videos even better, to see a complete one and compare it to the abandoned ones. Great stuff!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks Rob.

[@BB63]

It is so interesting to see what it might have looked like back when it was in use. Must have taken a long time to restore the bunker. It would have been nice to take photos and post them on a web site if you had one. And your right most of us will never see what you see by being there. All your videos are great and this one is no exception. Great job Doug

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Appreciated Doug and thanks for watching.

[@illeodavinci]

Amazing just amazing bunker, it is so cool to see the almost working thing...nice to Connect back to the many locations you have showed us in your videos👍 loved it.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks for watching.

[@copperhorse4515]

Wow weeeee! That truly is amazing! Now I see with eyes wide open! To actually SEE how the bunks were hanging from the ceiling hooks, how the rooms and equipment looked assembled and in place! So exciting to see a bunker pretty much restored IS amazing! And to actually SEE the big gunner! Now, it comes to life! I just watched a video with a bunker similar with some of the missile equipment but nothing like this video! Thoroughly enjoyed this tour! Thank you!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Very glad for that and just what i though recording thanks. Thanks again for being here :)

[@richardwarnock2789]

All my pleasure.

[@tinytattoomike7943]

Excellent video I really enjoyed it no complaints just wish you would have taken a second to translate some of the sayings on the walls and through out Totally awesome to see how it looked when it was operational Thank you for sharing

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks for watching.

[@skyservenews7605]

I have viewed your vids for years which has allowed my WW II artifacts knowledge base to grow. You educate all with your keen knowledge of artifact identifications and engaging presentation. I occasionally watch others that do a great job of performance but their knowledge level of the WW II time frame is no comparison to your expertise. I find myself talking to the screen, when I watch others, telling the presenters what they're looking at, because of you and your family. I would like to thank you once again for the efforts you make. Well done.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

He he , well thanks for the kind Words and Greetings from us.

[@anthonyroberts7718]

Nice to see the bunks hanging from the hangers you are a,ways showing us. You could spend hours looking at everything this bunker has to offer. I enjoy seeing the ammunition trollies . You can tell us about all the different things they had at locations like this but seeing them gives us a better understanding of them.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Could spend days there and love that. Thanks.

[@pajs1000]

Love it when you show videos like this one! Great stuff!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Glad for that Paul :)

[@michaelmiller609]

Awesome! It really puts the interior into perspective.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks Michael.

[@karlaiken6152]

May I add, that the fascinating "artillery calculator" was of course, a type of early "computer", as what it did was tied all the variables (wind speed and direction, distance, elevation, etc.) together mathematically & geometrically which enabled the Germans to use these data to precisely hit their target, .......and they were very good at it by the way.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Great details there indeed. Thanks Karl.

[@scottishjh]

Great video. I watched one of your older clips last night, it was of similar design with no canopy over the gun. It is amazing to see all the loading equipment in place. You should post a link to the other video for a a then and now comparison. Awesome content.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks Jim

[@debrabensinger1331]

I really like this video and using bunker. It really shows of the way it looked back in the day

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Exciting place it is and thanks.

[@jeremyalde2272]

Hi history hunter. I've just discovered that my roommate has just started taking care of a 90 yr old German WW2 veteran. He was drafted at the age of 14 about 7 moths before the end of the war. Apparently his father was captured on the eastern front and was a prisoner of war buy the Soviet Union and spent about 18 yrs as such. I'm hoping that I can meet this man myself in the next few weeks. If I can I'll try and get a video of his stories if he's willing to share with me. I'll share with you if possible

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

there you og , history is everywhere you know. Thanks

[@xxx7917]

It's so good to see all complete. Really adds to your exploring videos Here we have two forts at the entrance to the bay one is abandoned the other is operating. When you visit the operational one it all makes sense

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks for watching.

[@jay.71.h76]

[@colleenpriest7838]

Wow! Really enjoyed watching this one!!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@tedkreibich8584]

Another excellent video my friend. It was nice to see how some of the soldiers lived within bunkers that had heat, lights and the weaponry at their hands while so many more had to slug it out in with nature on the front lines. Thank you for sharing and letting us relive history with you.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Always appreciated Ted and Greetings from us.

[@amc3]

I love these type of bunker museums, clean and original, almost as if the troops had just gone out on a lunch break. You mentioned at the beginning, same guns as the Bismark? "Captain Eric Winkle Brown" a Scottish pilot disabled the Bismark by hitting the rudder with a torpedo fired from a Swordfish (first take-off from a moving ship) disabling its rudder allowed another boats to sink the ship. He was a test pilot who flew 487 different aircraft for the RAF, he also did 2,500 test landings on aircraft carriers in world WWII, allowing modern warfare to develop today, putting his life at risk on every attempt. A fluent German speaker, he was the first person to interrogate Hermann Goring, he also question SS Hauptsturmfuhrer Josef Kramer, commandant of Bergen Belsen Concentration Camp on its liberation. Sadly Cpt Brown died in 2016 aged 97, as a fellow Scot, I am tremendously proud of his incredible and remarkable achievements. Without doubt, he was the bravest aviator Britain has ever seen. While others were awarded the GM, DFC, CBE, DSO, VC or a Knighthood, , Brown was never recognised.

It's definitely worth watching. Although we are thousands of miles away and can never see with our naked eyes accept through world war II histories from studying books, the story connects to what we've learned. Thanks. It's amazing how the technologies were and who were behind those.
