In the years leading up to WWII, Nazi Germany's war machine was cranking into full gear. In this episode of History Traveler, we're traveling to some lesser known spots in the forests of Bavaria to look for some of the ruins of the factories that were built and run with slave labor to fuel the war that an authoritarian dictator was waging on the world.

Your work is grand! Back in 2014, my Son and his, long time, buddies decided to produce a documentary, for fun, including original music. All were twenty-somethings. Look at "Following the Golden Arrow" which follows the exact footsteps (8th Infantry Division) his Grandfather followed in WWII. The Cinema Center premier was a sell out. You can see the trailer on RU-vid. Keep up your fabulous work! It's so enjoyable!

I'm sorry if this is a bit long winded, but I rarely comment on videos, but I do sincerely love all that you do. I am now 60yrs old and the last child of hostilities only service personal, my parents passed many years ago. My mother repaired the tail sections of Wellington bombers, my father was in airfield defence. Nothing romantic like being a pilot, but I'm still so proud of them. I know my father served overseas, I remember him showing me photos of disabled ju52s and other aircraft on airfields they overran, but he never wanted to talk much about the war. I really have very little knowledge of their service, and nor do my siblings. Soon I will be gone, and my children have no care for history. My parents history, will die with me! Please don't stop what you do because people need to remember what happened and it's already starting to happen again. Love your channel.

Your parents history may be forgotten specifically. But they will always be apart of a group of people that sacrificed more than we could fathom. Let me assure you that some of us in younger generations have all the respect and adoration for your parents and all those who served. Their history is ingrained into the history of the world. Make no mistake that when someone thinks about those brave men and women, your parents are who they are thinking of even if we don't know their names or what they looked like. My appreciation and respect goes out to you and your family.

The state of Bavaria has many interesting remnants of history. I was stationed in northern Bavaria in the late 80s and we spent a lot of time in the woods training. There are old roman roads that can be seen in the woods, now they look like dirt trails but there are stones underneath. There are also concrete platforms for flak guns in some forested areas outside of the big cities.

I was an Army MP in the Rhine area- Mainz to be precise. As I was getting ready to DEROS they were going to build a new Hotel on the River front. While excavating- they found a Roman Encampment. Construction came to a screeching halt, all the building plans got changed and now there is museum on that site.

Oh my goodness...what an excellent journey you just took us on! I could NOT have entered that factory like you did...that was just very creepy and I had the neck of my t-shirt pulled up over my nose the entire time! JD, there has to have been some graves scattered around where they just buried the slave labor who were killed in construction accidents or died of various illnesses. Unmarked, covered with 80 years of leaves and fallen tree limbs. Those places would have been very eerie to walk thru all these many years later. The evil that took place there would still be very tangible in the air and the soil. Thank you for being our eyes and feet as you take us along on these history walks!!

These are very interesting video’s! Mother Nature has reclaimed so much, but enough remnants remain to allow the imagination to flow. I read several of the comments and can relate…my father was a flight engineer on a B17 bomber, and I too am very proud of his service though I shutter to think what it was like to be on the receiving end! War is so terrible and one would think man would have learned this by now, and yet here we are. My father didn’t talk about his missions much, and if he did it usually ended with emotions. At age 62, I feel like the older I get, the more I have in common with him and wish I could have conversations I was too busy and too immature to have when he was alive. I have myself flown in a B17, and got to stand at the top turret station he would have manned during combat. That same B17 I flew in was tragically loss a few months back by a midair collision during an air show. The crew my father trained with in the states was killed during a mission while he was in a hospital recovering from a wound. I understand how a young, strong, confident man can be forever changed emotionally by life experiences…especially those lived through the horrors of war.

I used to live near an area where dynamite had been manufactured, all the processing buildings were small and surrounded by earthen banks so any explosion would be directed upwards rather than out. Good series, enjoy seeing things off the beaten path.

Idk if it’s just me but been in and out the woods exploring, hunting, camping, boy scouts, all my life, never have i seen forest / woods like Europe. Biggest thing to me is how evenly spaced out every tree is or how they are spaced out in general lol always caught my eye for sum reason

I started watching your channel when you were talking about the Civil War, because that's the one that I know the most about after I went to Gettysburg in high school. I'm so glad I have kept watching because I'm really enjoying learning about other conflicts! Thank you so much! 😊

Great video. I would like to point out that this video and it's content serves the name of this RU-vid channel proudly. I know that some of the viewers of this channel question what does "The History Underground" mean exactly. Well, it mean's this video in particular, which I think is very defining. I get so excited when these new videos on WW2 and it's history get uploaded. Where else are you going to get a guerilla in the trenches styled video format like this? No where. Just a few days ago, this channel in association with the Gettysburg Museum of History actual took looted Nazi memorabilia back to it's origins from the museums collection. This channel is very very cool due to it's unique approach, hosting and commentary on telling these lost stories. I never knew any of this existed, but I am glad I now do as it helps to broaden my interest and understanding on WW2.

Thanks for another great series. I don't know what your plans are, but maybe consider to visit the Wewelsburg (near where I live). Wewelsburg is a Renaissance castle located in the village of Wewelsburg, in the northeast of North Rhine-Westphalia. After 1934 it was used by the SS under Heinrich Himmler, and was to be expanded into a complex which would serve as the central SS cult-site. After 1941, plans were developed to enlarge it to be the so-called "Centre of the World". In 1950, the castle reopened as a museum, the Wewelsburg 1933-1945 Memorial Museum.

But they destroyed the atmosphere now. They put in the chambers "New art" "Moderne Kunst", so it is all distracted now. By the way nobody knew about Wewelsburg in Germany, just since a few decades it got public, and now a lot know about it. And that why they changed the inner room decorations now.

Cudo's to the effort you put into making these video's! I think it's great that you also show the German side of the story. When looking at conflicts people often listen to the stories of the victors. But if you truly want to understand a conflict, you must study all sides of it.

As the atmosphere sinks in to me, i begin to feel the echoes of history and the stories they tell. i feel sure it's much the same for You. God bless You for sharing Your explorations with us. i'll follow You anywhere You what to go !:-) 🙏

If you are still in Germany, you need to travel about 1.5 hours north of Munich to the town of Ansbach. Just to the west of it is an old Ammo factory in the woods shaped like a swastika. It’s in the town of Oberdachstetten. The whole inside is a private museum, and located on an old German Army base. The inside has amazing artifacts. I can get you the contact info for the man who runs it!
