I’m currently investigating a 109 that crashed under a bridge and was never fully recovered. Access is difficult so even the military just left where it lay . Great finds my friend I’m sure that there is lots more up that hill…

[@Bill53AD]

Great finds my friend. I am betting that the German recovery team didn't find much that was salvageable. A 109 hitting a block of granite at 200-300km/h will leave a mark or two on the nose of the aircraft. Finding even small items is great. It has been a good year, you found something you have been looking for, EE got to see something he always wanted too and we got great videos. What more can we ask for. Stay safe and well .

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

yes i agree William. I was so over the moon to find anything at all and to be honest if i hadnt found anything ai would have been just as happy just to be there :) Thanks and take care William )

[@Pete-tq6in]

I should imagine that the major pieces of wreckage were removed at the time of the crash. I know that wherever possible the Allies recovered as much as they could but when the crash site was remote or difficult to access, often left heavy components such as smashed engines and undercarriage legs. Lighter parts, such as sections of wing and tail and skinning, were usually removed and smelted down for reuse and of course, the remains of any crew were carefully recovered. I don't know if it was the same in Axis forces but I see no reason why they wouldn't follow a similar policy.

[@DougieFresh13]

yeah, 'a mark on the nose.'

[@gkinla1]

I’m always amazed at what you find in locations that are easily accessible. Many people have been close to this site, and weren’t aware of what is just lying around to be found.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Indeed and that is what makes it so special my friend. Thanks :)

Amazing that pieces of a Bf 109 are still lying around after all these years, thanks for bringing us on this journey

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

I agree Iain and so glad we came across this and could share it with you :)

[@National757]

Those heavier cast pieces are absolutely from an engine block. The unfired bullet looks to be a 7.92mm round from an MG17 Luftwaffe machine gun. Me-109 depending on model had different configurations of the MG17's and 20mm Cannon. Whatever happened to this airplane obviously a very high speed impact! Thanks for sharing!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Great explore and thanks for being here Jim :)

[@eliaslundstedt5607]

Not only MG 17 and MG FF/Ms and MG 151, also some with MG 131 13mm machine guns, and MK 108 30mm cannons in pods

[@saxon-mt5by]

The fine thread on the aluminium casting looks like an oil seal - two close together suggests they are probably camshaft seals.

[@northernskys]

Always impressed by the amount of research and investigation you put into finding these locations for us, and this one is just one fantastic example of your much appreciated, hard work. The 109 would have literally torn herself apart on that hillside, scattering pieces everywhere, but especially to the sides and upwards from the impact. The recovery crew would have only taken the large pieces, and what could be easily found, which is awesome for us, because this allowed out History Hunter to do what he does best. Show us the past in an amazing way. Great work my friend. Finding those 109 pieces in that little area was just fantastic. Well done! Cheers to you all! Stay Safe!

The BF109 was an awe-inspiring bird. So striking. I so hope that one day I will be able to ride high in one. I wish that I knew you HH when you were a little boy putting together your model planes. I bet you did a bang-up job. Was definitely a successful expedition, as you managed to find a yellow nose cone part and a engine block piece amongst other airplane parts. Can't help but wonder what happened to the pilot, did he survive and manage to make another flight? What was his personal history? That WAS incredible HH. Thanks for taking us there HH. Have to say I missed EE though.

Yes , being a young boy and building models was a great moment in time Laura. SO much fun and learning every day. Pilot died there. Thanks Laura.

You were right my friend, there was plenty more, and what a find. That first item at about 5 mins, looks very much like something off of a wheel, or a brake system? possible undercarriage part? Those body parts, just laying a few cms underthe surface for all these years, and so close to a road. It make me wonder how many hundreds of people have walked past this site, never knowing the history there for them to see.

[@malcolmcarter1726]

This is great stuff. I love this kinda thing. I grew up in Renfrew (next to Glasgow) on the river Clyde, and we used to find all manner of German Aircraft wreckage on the waste lands and bomb sites which were left as they were in wartime back in the 1970s! We found almost half of a Ju 87 Stukas port side tailplane and elevator. My Sister and I found a propeller blade (well maybe a third of it but it seemed huge to us) It was wooden and was painted black with a yellow tip which meant that it wasnt German. Our dad reckoned it was from a Gladiator because we lived next to Renfrew airport, before they demolished it, and apparently at wars start there was a squadron of Gloster Gladiators stationed there. But so were Spitfire Mk Is and Hurricanes and both had wooden props to begin with. I think even the later mks sometimes had wooden bladed props. Great memories and this programme brought it all back. Thanks!

I had models of many, many planes hung from my ceiling as a kid, but the thing that amazed me was when i visited a museum later in life and there were all the planes that i knew, but they were much smaller than i had imagined. Especially the Me 262, the first jet powered fighter. It didn't look either strong enough or big enough to fit jet engines in, plus the fact that so many pilots got into them and flew into combat in WW II. I still find your take on history ( which we were never taught about ) most fascinating. Great to see you out and about again.👍👍👍

Just for comparison, on January 21 1942 American actress Carole Lombard boarded a DC 3 along with 22 US serviceman headed for Los Angeles California. It was nighttime and due to navigational error or instrument failure the plane crashed into the Sierra Nevada Mountains just outside of Las Vegas. Today if you hike up to the crash site you can still see the engine block and cylinder head still attached and intact in one piece. Anything is possible, but I would be surprised if the Messerschmidt engine shattered on impact at your location. It's also possible that parts of your aircraft including the engine block were hauled away years ago as scrap. Thanks for your cool video's which have resulted in some amazing finds over the years!

Thanks for comment and for watching.

Wow, now you are a history buff!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks for watching.

[@christopherlesniak5965]

What an amazing discovery! It is just mind boggling to think that those pieces have been sitting there in the ground for almost eighty years! With me being in the United States, it simply amazes me that there are still artifacts of the second world War all across Europe. It really puts into perspective the size and scope of the German war machine! Keep up the good work and I look forward to the next adventure. 👍

There are wand will be thousands of locations and pieces in the ground. Thanks Christopher.

There are people here in the US who seek out long ago crash sites and search with metal detectors to see if there are metal fragments that they can add to their collection. For example, a civilian airliner (I think a DC6) crashed many years ago in a field near Centralia, PA, north of where I live. Im not into metal detecting but I’d bet that there are still aluminum fragments in the ground.

Fun adventure. Thanks for preserving history visually!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Appreciated and greetings from us.

Very well done, amazing finds especially the cartridge dated, don't forget the gardening tools and snips, they'll save you a lot of time, work and less chance of damaging the finds like a shovel will.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thank you William and greetings from us :)

[@williamsoileau1802]

@@WW2HistoryHunter Good morning, it's me to thank you all for the work you do. Now you think EE gets excited, you'd have your hands full with me around, I'd be dressed up in some uniform with a mine detector, yes I'm a ham, I'd end up digging up Europe.

[@stevemercure902]

Excellent video. For some reason on this video it hits me that not only have you located a crash site, but also perhaps a grave site? At least a spot where a human life probably ended, unless the pilot was able to get out with his parachute. It would be spooky to find human remains.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks for watching.

Finding yellownose is quite a treat. Very iconic.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Great find and thanks :)

My wife's Opa was a luftwaffe pilot, he was captured in 1945 by the British. My Opa was captured by the British in north Africa.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Good to see that you take part in history and have history in your family. Greetings from us.

[@jamesolbrisch2582]

@@WW2HistoryHunter love history, I do a fair amount of detecting here in West Texas and Southern New mexico, mostly wild west stuff, next time I go to Germany to visit family I will bring my detector with me, I have high hopes

[@Paulvanacker1]

Another fantastic video. Thank you so much. The 109 is my favourite aircraft of all time. We have an original paint/markings 109G-6 here in Australia. Very rare to have the original RLM74/75/76 colours. Best wishes, Paul.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks for that and for being here.

[@christopherdematteo8645]

Are you on Facebook? Great work! What you're doing isn't easy. And it is great that you show these locations respect. Many are graves of fallen soldaten.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

No not on FB and thanks for being here :)

[@johnpike4551]

Great finds. Hopefully there will be some part numbers on some of the finds so you can possibly identify the exact aircraft they are from. I'm thinking of doing my own research into downed ww2 aircraft around my area and maybe going out to see if I can find my own part of history. It is your inspiration that has made me think about doing this. So if I do find anything I'll share the finds with you. Thank you for doing what you do

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

History is everywhere so who knows :)

[@jeffussery4884]

Here's a laugh for you, I was looking at KZbin videos much earlier than usual, I'm not a morning person. I had been up for 15 min. or so and hadn't finished my morning cup of coffee yet. I seen the ad for your show. I thought for a min. wow you found a pretty much intact 109. I thought you may get a laugh out of that. I would imagine there are similar crash sights all over France, and Germany. Maybe you'll stumble across one yet. Anyway, good morning from Texas.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

There you go Jeff. Such a great explore and loved to share that with you :) Greeting and be safe my friend :)

[@marygarner5249]

Amazing History BIG THUMBS UP Eagle Eye's and Dad always love your video's 😁😁😁💟

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Wow thank you for that Mary , greatly appreciated :)

[@christopherdwyer7570]

@WW2HistoryHunter That iron fragment when you found the 8mm mg round was part of a belt link....

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

ok and thanks for watching.

[@alfredsletten7380]

I agree with some of the other commenters that it is amazing what is right under people's nose and they don't have a clue that it's there. Great finds. I especially enjoy seeing the cast engine parts that is a testament to the extremely violent force of the crash.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

So true Alfred. Even though they re smaller pieces they do tell the story so well :) Thanks for being here with us my friend :)
