Last video I stated must be hard to find artifacts in this time (probably cleaned out) and low and behold you show us a search light and generator left at the Atlantic wall position. I keep lurking until the end... Be Well, Be Safe and of course Be Careful... to all the family....

Seeing these pieces of history just rusting away is sad and they should have been in a museum. But we must also remember that the people in the area that were under German rule wanted to forget about the war and all the reminders of it. Very few soldiers wanted to talk about what they did or saw during the war. Those that did would brake down and cry as the memories came back. So thankful you and Eagle Eyes were able to find these lost pieces of history and show them to us.

At 12:50 that looks like the internals of an electrical switch operated by the lever on the outside that you could see at 12:30 just before you flipped it over. There were probably some contacts mounted on that bakelite board that are now missing. Intriguing find - at least you got the opportunity to document it.

Totally agree with you, the search light should have been saved and put in a museum, a long, long time ago. Is the location so isolated and difficult to get to? That's the only reason I can think of, as to why they were left to rust away... Anywho, Keep up the excellent work, guys 🙏😁

Yes so sad, I'd imagine that it could have probably been saved if it had been preserved or covered in the 70s or 80s. You could just imagine that restored and encased in a perspex box in its original position, how amazing would that have been. I am really surprised that someone didn't even spray it once a year with some sort of rust inhibitor to atleast slow down the process of its deterioration. So glad you came across this for many people to see before it's gone forever, excellent bit of ww2 archeology from you once again 🙂

So very sad to see that 150cm searchlight and its generator just rusting away like that. I agree they could have been saved so many years ago. I guess, maybe they were battle damaged and just thought of as scrap, like so many things after the war, stripped of anything useful and just left to nature. Those big aluminium rounded boxes, with all the gears, are the upright arms that supported the light. Truly such a shame, much too late for restoration now. But, thank you both, HH and Eagle Eye, for finding them, and sharing this with us. Everything you do, and the challenges you face to bring us these videos, is very much appreciated. Cheers, and stay safe!

Hey there that was really cool. I like the 6 cylinder motor for powering that huge light. I bet I could get it running but it would cost a Fortune. Everything would have to be custom made unless the motor was used in other things then there might be parts laying around. Well another great video. Sorry I haven't been around to leave comment. I wasn't telling anyone but I have been having issues with my kidneys. The last 3 weeks the doctors have been looking for cancer in my kidneys. I just got the all clear on the cancer but something's up. I can't really walk because of the pain. I still push myself. I have list 35 lbs in the last month. So that's good. I hope you and your kids are doing well. Pretty soon I will have a museum in my loading room. You have sent me the most wonderful dioramas. They look good hanging up on the wall.

Hi, WW2 History Hunter and Eagle Eyes, it looks like that searchlight had received a direct hit or very nearly so from an Allied bomb and was not deemed to be worthy of picking up, even for scrap. Besides, now it helps to show just how desparate conditions had gotten toward the end of the War. Thanks for sharing, God Bless and stay safe.

My guess would be that demolition charges were used to destroy it when it was abandoned! Must be a very remote position, I see a lot of value there as scrap that would have been pilfered decades ago if access was easy!

Could the generator and searchlight have been hit in a strafing run? It looks like both of them have been on fire. Maybe that is why they were left behind.

If there was a spotlight, was there any flak positions nearby? If location is near a coastline, would this be part of coast security? Do you think these (spotlight and generator) were damaged by air or ground (sea) attack? You're right about so many large parts being left like that without potential preservation. Thanks for another great find!!

With all the walking you do you should be in pretty good shape. Seeing the searchlight just rotting away is sad. Am sure after the war people didn’t realize how much history was just left to rot. It’s like toys you had as a kid and threw them away and now they are worth a lot of money. Looking at the parts of the searchlight a lot of engineering went into building them. It’s a shame what salt water will do to metal. Even though it was destroyed you actually got to find and see one. Same with the engine. Your touching history. Great finds Eagle Eyes.

Totally agree, how very sad that search light and engine were just wasted, left to rot away, it's very strange, even if couldn't or wouldn't preserve history, people very often, would want to repurpose after the war or in general, but what a disgrace and waste!🤬 , thank you for sharing with us, many thanks 👍🙂
