Magnet fishing secret weapons ?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

This was quite a special discovery in a small pond ! Watch and enjoy.

[@ivarbiermann9278]

I always wonder the exact location where you find all the stuff you find i am 12 and very interested in WWII and i always wanted to find something from WWII and never found something and i wonder where you find the things and or you could give some tips. btw i live in holland, so there must be lots to find in the area of veghel, Eindhoven and thanks 4 the nice video

[@mr.j694]

WW2HistoryHunter one question what are you doing with the things?

[@ArtimusFreeman]

Great Question!

[@metaldetectingpa7950]

That was a gas tank

[@granthensley7192]

WW2HistoryHunter the things that you call rocket boosters are actually German flamethrower fuel tanks

wow , so great to read. Thanks for watching Alan

[@MrBirdonawire]

I live in the US I would love to be able to go out and do that. I'm absolutely fascinated with WWII. Thank you so much for all the great vids. Maybe if I make it to Europe again I could go out with you. It would be a honor. I know it won't happen but I can dream.

[@jonathanadler7103]

Another great adventure. I love the excitement in your voice when you make another awesome find, congratulations. Those rockets might be Luftwaffe RATO units, Rocket Assisted Take Off units. Keep up the good work!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

+Jonathan Adler yes , they look like RATO`s. Thanks for great comment and for watching.

[@99003jack]

Still thinking. I believe the V-1 used something similar to assist the launch of the rocket. They were discarded very shortly after launch. Could your "Artillary" site be a V-1 sight with anti aircraft unit protection?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

+John Sexton i dont know. All i know is that they are ultra rare to find. never seen anyone else finding some. Thanks John

[@raven1wing1]

The V1 was launched via a "ski ramp style system" almost similar system to a steam catapult used on a aircraft carrier.

[@johns8518]

I know that I am a year out on this video, but congrats! Those are impressive finds. I just recently found your channel and subscribed immediately. I enjoy your outings. Keep up the good work. And, props to you for getting your kids involved. Great history lessons for them. You seem to know your WWII history very well.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

How great to read and thanks John.

[@LeftLaneShane]

If there's a Luftwaffe airfield close by,those are probably j.a.t.o. rockets for assisting large bombers to take off from short runways. Considering the Luftwaffe had to keep moving after Europe was invaded,maybe they were forced to use a smaller airfield than they initially wanted for the bigger planes. Now that memory serves me it can also be a launch site for V1 buzz bombs that used jatos to get airborne and fell off after the main rocket took over. I remember film of them just falling off after they got the v1 off the launching ramp,they had no attachment points to the vessel,that to me appears why there's no mounting hardware on the rockets. Using the camera before casting out is uber helpful I imagine. Good luck my friend and please take care around the winter freezing waters!!!!!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

who knows what the purpose was. Thanks.

[@raincoast2396]

The Sturmgewehr 44 is the worlds very first assault rifle. Developed against Hitler's wishes it was at first designated a Machine Pistol to mask it. Para dropped to a large German unit that was surrounded and out numbered on the Eastern front, it's rapid fire power enabled them to breakout of the caldron and rejoin the German front line. It came to Hitler's attention when he asked an Eastern front commander if there was anything he wanted. The officer immediately asked for more of the "new" marvelous automatic rifles. It was Hitler who gave it the name "Sturmgewehr". It was the basis for Mikhail Kalashnikov's design for what was to become the AK 47. The two weapons side-by-side are very similar.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

[@susanstovell7737]

Found you site by accident, I love war history and videos of actual battles. Watched right up to the Afghanistan war, have two boys ( now in England) that fought over there that I cared for at my little school here in Cape Town so that was a nerve racking time. I was looking at bunkers that have been found and came across your site. LOVE IT. It is very exciting to be with you as you dig up or fish out the items. The trenches that you walk by are kind of sad in a way, to think there were young soldiers in them at one time scared to death. So wish I could be in an area like that to experience a find. Hope to watch many more videos.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

+Susan Stovell So glad to read that Sir and i thank You for the great comment.

[@bushpilot223]

Definitely looks like a WW2 era rocket booster. I can't believe you found three of them!!! I'm super jealous. I wish I lived in a place like that where you can just go out and find old foxholes and relics. It'd be a dream come true to a history nut like me!! Love your videos man!

[@benmasta5814]

well for those of us that live in the west not really lol

[@ajhinesley]

I have enjoyed discovering your WW2 adventures. My father fought in WW2, I believe Battle of the Bulge, and he was one of only a few who survived. The only story he told me was of being in a foxhole with his best friend-got a strange feeling, and scrambled out just before the foxhole and his friend were blown up. As you can tell, many American men did the job, then locked it away and did not discuss it. I so wish i had asked about his stories before he passed. Thanks for the look in the past ! Arkansas, USA

Thanks for sharing and be proud of him. Thanks for taking time to comment and watch my friend. Greetings from us.

[@osmia3561]

Wow how did i miss this video?? I once made a comment about fixing your magnet to a pole, i have another tip for you. Our magnets have a grappling hook on the other end of the rope. To anchor so you dont throw your rope in the water and to get the wedged items loose! Thanks for the show!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

+Michel Jordaan good tip and thanks for the support

[@skyservenews7605]

The rockets that you found are interesting. I have never considered the multitude of aircraft systems designed to help aircraft aloft. I am wondering if the canisters that you found were a less expensive system. Just making a guess. I would think the tanks were a solid fuel type that could be reused. Very interesting. I am looking forward to hearing of your research into the RATO (Rocket Assisted Take Off) system. I look forward to you productions. I feel as if I am with you as you make your "Madana Moments."

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

[@jam1966ful]

Check out the wiki page for the Walter HWK 109-500. You seem to spend some time in areas the Russians overran, one of the uses for the Walter was on the Gigant glider that was used to much effect supplying the Eastern front. Sounds like you are in a rear echelon position towards the end of the War. Only 6,000 built and the 'tubing' you found could have been part of the larger main part which could indicate that it may also be down there. Get yourself a pair of fisherman's waders and get in there ;)

[@jam1966ful]

In doing a little more reading the Wiki page claims that the ME Gigant was not considered a success, yet elsewhere I have read it was?? So it may have also been used on the ME 323 which was the powered version of the ME 321Gigant. Yer pays yer money yer makes yer choice. Depends on your source.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

That is amazing and looks like the most alike part i have seen so far. Great info and thanks for that. A greeting to you from me and take care. WW2HH

[@sideshowbob1544]

Looks like those rockets are early Jet Assisted Take Off or JATO units. Was there a Luftwaffa field nearby? Usually they would try and recover them for reuse but perhaps not find in pond.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

yes , strange Place to find them. Thanks for watching

[@crashkind9946]

Luftwaffe I m german sry

[@thomasgotthulk3629]

these boosters were attached under the wings of heavy aircraft like the Gigant, where they should give additional thrust to get the plane into the air. When they ran out of fuel, they were simply dropped off.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

+Lars Noack cool tip and thanks.

[@juliegriffin7609]

Awesome finds HH! Another cool video and some really nice finds! Take care! 💖

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks! You too!

[@jackiesee1907]

So it looks like these are the boosters from an experimental aircraft Bachem Ba 349. Apparently the only man test flight crashed resulting in the death of the pilot. Interestingly it seems that in that crash only 3 of the 4 rockets detached in air. I wonder if you have found the 3 rockets from that crashed flight?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

well , i couldnt tell but it could be. Thanks

[@darrentomkins1]

Hi WW2HH, I'm a very excited South African here in The Netherlands for 2 weeks to do some magnet fishing. I've got a smaller 85kg puller. I would love a little advice if you'd share with me. How do you find your spots? I've been googling WW2 battle maps / River battles / Canal retreat crossings etc but am having a really hard time finding any positive maps to use to go fishing?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Appreciate you watching and taking time to comment.

[@johngriffiths6934]

Amazing finds keep the stories coming love them from the uk

[@davidvaughn7752]

Yes, you are correct. They are rocket boosters used in modified aircraft to assist in take-off when the payload exceeded the weight that the aircraft could lift with the regular engines, for example heavier bomb loads.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Cool to know and thanks for watching.

[@mikehunt8375]

Was that first thing you pulled out old motorcycle forks??

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

i couldnt tell. Thanks.

[@FriedBnana]

That area you searched in this video, do you think it had always been a pond or could that area have just collected water throughout the years?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

not easy to know. Thanks

[@carlx8741]

I'm sure you probably have figured out what those rockets are by now, but in case you have not gotten any more info on them, I may be able to shed some light on them. Those are called JATO rockets, it stands for Jet Assisted Take Off rockets. They are a solid fuel rocket used to launch small aircraft from a short runway, and the V1 buzz bomb. The metal tubes you found could be part of the rocket cradle that is dropped from the aircraft after takeoff. Looking at your map of the gun positions helps explain what the purpose of that location was. Having two flack guns located so close together and finding the rockets down range from them suggest it was a V1 launch site or a short runway for fighter planes. Quick question are the ponds located east of the gun placements? If so this is more likely a V1 launch site. If any of this is true you have made a truly awesome find.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

[@anthonyroberts7718]

Wow, not one, not two but three booster rockets. Something had to be happening in that area. I’ve seen were some of these booster would drop off after being used to help the aircraft get airborne. Flak shells and barb wire and 44 cartridges. You had a great day.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Yes once in a lifetime and will most likely never happen again :) Thanks Anthony.

[@justanopinion_really]

The two solid booster rockets are virtually identical to the booster rockets on the Bachem Ba 349 Natters. The Bachem Ba 349 Natters had four Schmidding 109-533 solid-fuel rockets. The three you have are appear smaller, but virtually identical. • The vertical take-off trials were done on high ground called the Ochsenkopf at the Truppenübungsplatz (military training area) Heuberg near Stetten am kalten Markt, Württemberg. There was a test run done with experienced test pilot, Lothar Sieber. Things did not go as planned. And, Himmler canceled the program.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Could very well be. Thanks.

Interesting stuff. Schmidding made RATO motors but those are pretty small. Maybe the railing/tubing thing was part of a larger assembly. Thank you for sharing your finds!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

+Brian Reddeman yes , i am thinking that the tube stuff is some sort of rail / support for something that they had there. Thanks for watching. WW2HH

[@fallgelb1976]

@@WW2HistoryHunter at First sorry about my Bad English. Im from Germany. the very First V1 flying bomb had those rockets . I saw old Film and they we're mount to the Wings . I think Support engines for Start the V1 . In later Versions they start without those little boosters . Maybe they later they had stronger Pulse engines so they don't need the boosters .

[@bisync1949]

That's really a first class idea to put the camera on a pole. I may try that when I magnet fishing off a dock. By the way, those tube things you found look like the booter for a nebelwerfer.

Were they boosters for V1 flying bombs? .Were the ponds natural formations or were they blast holes from rocket experiments?.

[@edwinvogel6268]

Amazing find!!! Those really are from a Natter. In the end of the war , german planes didn't do as much damage as wantes. So they constucted a rocket to ram enemy Bombers. Before the Crash the Pilot would jump out with parachute. Those are the rockets. Look here: www.bredow-web.de/Luftwaffenmuseum/Historisch/Bachem_Ba_349_Natter/bachem_ba_349_natter.html

Just saw this one. Very cool finds. The Sturmgewehr (assault rifle) was a huge leap in firearms development. Very interesting gun. Interesting that the bullets would come up with a magnet, but late in the war I guess the Germans were running out of lead, copper and brass. Not a whole lot of those rifles were made and fielded, so anything related to them is somewhat rare. And those boosters! Wow!

+Jiraiya_Ero_Sannin some sort of extra trusters when Aircrafts take off. Thanks Jirayia

[@Chownz]

WW2HistoryHunter Well thanks for the reply....

[@MajorBsItaliaBricksIT]

Wunderbar! If I may ask, did you ever figure out the specific rocket these were used on?

[@uyraellsensenmann8931]

Hello WW2HH, :) As with my previous comment, I'd respectfully suggest the rockets you recovered are Schmidding solid-fueled booster rockets, as employed on the Ba.349 point-defense rocket fighter. The main motor of this aircraft was the same Walter109-509 (hypergolic liquid-fueled) rocket motor as employed in the Me.163 B Komet. As employed to launch the Ba.349, the booster rockets were either 2 of 1150 lbs thrust, or 4 of 750 lbs thrust. They were only attached to the Ba.349 for the first 15 to 30 seconds of flight, then released from the airframe by explosive bolts. The booster rockets were considered as disposable, despite the fact that refueling them was technically possible. An Alternative employment for the rocket boosters would be as launching boosters for the Hs.293 series of missiles. I hope the information is of help to you. :) Kind and Respectful Regards WW2HH, Uyraell, NZ.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

i am not sure to ne honest. Yours looks a little bit to big don tyou think ?. Anyway they are very special items for sure. Thanks my friend.

[@uyraellsensenmann8931]

From the dimensions of the boosters as they are on the ground next to the pond, I have the feeling they are both of the 1150-Lbs thrust type. This would (again) indicate use in launching the Ba.349. Off-hand, I can only think of a few airframes the 1150-Lb boosters were employed with. These are: Ba.349, Schmetterling, Hs.293/294, Enzian, and (possibly)Rhinetochter II. As, of all of these, only the Ba.349 Natter came close to operational use; it seemed the likeliest candidate, even granting the 10 unmanned launches of the airframes, most of which (iIrc) employed the 1150-Lb thrust Schmidding boosters. I hope this little bit of info helps your research, my friend. :) Kind and Respectful Regards WW2HH, Uyraell.

[@crucifyrobinhood]

I'm sure those boosters are worth quite a bit to the right collector. How does that work for you, are you able to sell any of your finds?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

+CrucifyRobinHood can sell anything i want but normally nothing for sale :) Thanks for watching.

[@andrewwhite7045]

I'm guessing they might be engines from a system similar to the Wurfrahmen 40

[@johnny9toes]

Would you share the magnets you are using? They look to be different than the items I can find in the US.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

hmm , i think those were only some cheap Ebay things and actually not that strong as i would think they would be. Cant remember any names or brand. Thanks John

[@thepriceofpearls]

I share your enthusiasm for finding old things. I found a British .303 Enfield Mark 5 Jungle Carbine in a river 25 years ago that is in full working condition. Nearby is a small lake that the Navy used to dump things in. I'm thinking about bringing my raft there . I need some of these magnets. Where can I buy them?

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

+thepriceofpearls You can buy Neo magnets online on Ebay or like that. Thanks for watching.

[@thepriceofpearls]

Thanks!

[@HaGirl10]

You sure found many items in that pond HH. It's a good thing you had a couple of magnets as some of those items were sure heavy. Did you take this Rocket Boosters home with you or were they two heavy? Rocket Man you are.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

yes this location was a great one and will be back perhaps with a Pink Choppa and a friend :)

[@detectinghistory3668]

Wow great finds do you sell any of your finds? Regards Ian

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

no but i do give away any of my finds to my supporters. Watch my giveaway videos in the beginning of each month. Thanks

8mm Kurtz, I got my replica two months ago and the STG 44 is an awesome gun 👍🏻🇺🇸☮

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

+Pipe Extacy 303 Thanks Pipe

[@iIn54nity]

You need to open your own museum of all these WW2 relics you find!!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

neehh , i Guess not :) Thanks

[@STRX2BARR]

they are explosive charge that are shoved into the rear of the tubes on a "screaming me me " German used these to seige small towns or villages they had about 6 tubes that shot mortar rounds small rockets and they were very very deadly and had amazing accuracy

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

ok. Appreciate you watching LEgend

[@STRX2BARR]

anytime i am going to france in a couple months going to the areas surrounding the maginot we should meet up and do a video

[@anttitheinternetguy3213]

you mean nebelwerfer 42? i havent seen any that kind of nblwrfr rockets, ever. i know they had a classic artillery round looking rocketpropelled grenades, so i cant see the connection. but i can definately see those being some sort of last ditch rockets with the warhead not attached. they certainly seem too small to be an rocket booster for jets or something

[@raider6511]

What part of this world are you in that you find this great stuff.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

+raider6511 You can find this all over Western Europe. Thanks for watching Sir.

[@codywalker27cw]

those ponds your magnet fishing at must have been launch/assembly positions

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

could have been. Thanks for watching.

[@raven1wing1]

When you pulled the rocket out I recognised it immediately it's a booster for the Bachem Ba 349 Natter. Normally the boosters are dropped as soon as they reach a certain speed. The second one confirmed it

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

ok and thanks for watching.

[@obxsocom]

I don't know if it's a rocket booster or not, I'm thinking a muzzle break that was on the end of a cannon used on stukas or maybe a flak barrel

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

+obxsocom no it ia a help booster of some sort. Thanks

[@Jvha761]

Those rocket boosters might be boosters for V1 or V2 Doodlebugs? I'm not sure but they look similar

[@paintingsbyjamescooper4330]

Great find! Now you have to carry them to your vehicle...

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

+James Cooper (Cooper Impressions) ehmmm,,,,,Nice day toady you said ? . lol. thanks for watching.
