HH, for your information: Löschgerät is a type of fire extinguisher. It may have been larger than the regular canister type common in many facilities or it may have been a special extinguisher hose used to cover a larger area in the ammo plants where one would hopefully put out the fire before the rounds started cooking off, which no one wanted to have happen! I made out the writing on the elevator to read "Fahrstuhl nicht bei Fliegeralarm benützen", which means "In the event of an air raid [siren], do not use the elevator."

@hughsherer8747 Год назад

Thank you for helping us all understand German writing. I really appreciate your help.

@beverleymacdonald1352 Год назад

This was interesting against the backdrop of the post WW1 restrictions on Germany. They built these ammunition factories in secret and hid the activities in plain sight as little villages! They were supee prepared for WW2 and the Blitzkrieg! Awesome to be able to explore this site with HH and EE. I loved the intro piece showing ammo manufacturing! Together with everyone, am eagerly awaiting Part2 ❤.

@WW2HistoryHunter Год назад

Yes they were really prepared and ready for their plan it seems. Thanks Beverley and more to come :)

@tedkreibich8584 Год назад

I suspect there was all kinds of Research & Development done on this site. Each building was protected by earthen burns leaving me to believe the levels of protection were such they didn't want any cross contamination. Looking forward to video 2. Remember to stay safe be careful and stay well.,

@WW2HistoryHunter Год назад

Yes that is what those were for and i think they had safety for sure in mind. Thanks Ted and part 2 coming soon :)

@colleenpriest7838 Год назад

That last building was HUGE!!!! Storage maybe? Im curious on the "tower" that was attached to it with an elevator? I wouldn't think it was used for smeltering, but who knows. Loved that the work benches were still there after all these years, truly amazing. Im still in "awe" on how many buildings that must be there. Can not wait to see the rest. Thanks for this amazing adventure. You don't get to see this every day. Hi to EE!!! Stay safe and smile......

@WW2HistoryHunter Год назад

Yes Colleen , that place is something else and so glad there are even cool details still there to see and share. Thank you my friend for your kind support.

@Bill53AD Год назад

One heck of a complex. EE what you found was an open frame AC motor with a gearbox, more than likely off a timing system or clock. The tower may have been the mixing for the "gun powder", Have looked at building from the 40's in Poland and the explosives and propellants were done on multiple floors. One process per floor that tube drops to the next. Can't wait for part 2. Great job HH and EE, stay safe and well.

@WW2HistoryHunter Год назад

Yes William , this is such a great place to look into and we saw so many special details there and in part 2 even more for you to enjoy. Fantastic place. Thanks and be safe out there :)

@oldtop4682 Год назад

Loschgerat is a fire extinguisher. The elevator door with writing was something about when it stops and then something about fire (likely that it won't work if there's a fire). I didn't catch enough of it to be sure. The railroad pieces are called "tracks" in English (or at least the American version). The machinery location at the top of the tower might have been air exhaust. Ventilation in a munitions plant is be a big deal! Just a guess though. Could have been fire suppression too. This is a fascinating site! Looking forward to part II, as this is my favorite site so far from your trip. You and EE had quite the adventure!

@WW2HistoryHunter Год назад

Great place indeed and thanks my friend for being here :)

@three-phase562 Год назад

Fantastic tour HH and EE, plenty to look at in this area and wonder how it worked back in the day. Railway lines were common in and around the facilities to move the huge quantities of ammunition required rapidly.

@WW2HistoryHunter Год назад

yes indeed they were and we just loved to find and share this place. So many features there to look into , totally wild. Thanks and greetings from us.

@michaeltempsch5282 Год назад

Writng on eievator doors looks to me like Vorsicht Nicht bei Feuralarm benützen (Caution do not use in case of fire alarm). Essentially the sane warning that we still see on most elevators tiday.

@WW2HistoryHunter Год назад

There you go and thanks for watching.

@oldmanhuppiedos Год назад

Hi HH & EE, It is wise to store your goods, such as ammunition, in different locations. Definitely a special place, even the windows are still intact. Löschgerät are fire extinguishers.

@WW2HistoryHunter Год назад

Indeed that is smart and thank you Oma for being here :)

@WW2HistoryHunter Год назад

yes my friend this is a great place and we loved to see it. Thanks.

@longmoormilitary-railway7620 Год назад

That was great fun! We have a similar place called the Royal Naval Cordite Factory, Holton Heath, Dorset ,with one of the largest structures being the water reservoir (needed for making explosives) which is underground, I would expect something similar where you explored. Three accidents killed 14 workers but, just as at your location, it was well constructed to localise any explosion. I visited 15 years ago and quite a lot of it left including huge slag-heaps. A tram system moved the explosives between sites and it had direct access to the sea for transportation. Well done EE and HH!

@WW2HistoryHunter Год назад

Interesting that is my friend and thanks for sharing with us :)

@thegreatcornholio4349 Год назад

Nice to see that some of the original German writing was there and the Russians didn't totally obliterate it. Does make you wonder how many different types of munitions passed through those buildings. Looking forward to part 2 of this adventure!

@WW2HistoryHunter Год назад

Yes love such details and very glad they are still there. Thanks and more to come :)

@dass1333 Год назад

At the Boing B17 plant it had a giant net covering it. It had a fake neighborhood on it so it looked like any other part of Seattle.

@WW2HistoryHunter Год назад

Yes i have seen images of such. Great stuff and thanks.

@juliegriffin7609 Год назад

Another fascinating adventure. That place is huge! I can see why they thought if they built lots that there was nothing going on, just regular people. And they built stuff to last, not like lots of others. These buildings will be there for many more years. Thank you both for bringing me along. Take care and stay safe. 💖💯

@denniseldridge2936 Год назад

This was a really fantastic exploration, guys! Endless fascination with this amunition production facility, with a really interesting history. Starting in WWII and being reused by Soviet forces for munitions production... just WOW lol. One thing I did notice was the grafitti on the wall of the building with the tower. The dates were from 1987-8, as well as '66' in one spot. I wonder if the facility was abandoned somewhat before the fall of the Iron Curtain. I'd really like to to find out more about the place and it's history. Thanks so much for bringing this place to us, it really got me wondering hehe. All the best to you guys and see you next time!

@WW2HistoryHunter Год назад

As far as we know it has been out of commission for quite some time. During the most active ties i think there worked more then 1800 people there daily.Thank you Dennis and part 2 coming soon :)

Stay safe and stay well!!

@WW2HistoryHunter Год назад

@biffbalata1 Год назад

The mounds at 15:27 appear to a narrow gauge rail line probably to transport munitions out as well as for blast protection.

@anthonyroberts7718 Год назад

What an interesting location. Even though they wanted it to look like a small town, it was built very well. Even though we haven’t seen any defensive positions here, am sure the Germans would of had some way to protect this area. I wonder if there are any photos or films as to what went on at locations like this. I would like to know what some of the features in the buildings were used for. Looking forward to part two.

@WW2HistoryHunter Год назад

i agree what a great place to look into Anthony. There were more then 300 structure there i think. Thanks and more to come :)

@andik859 Год назад

@northernskys Год назад

Such a fascinating huge area. Just crying out for a bit of metal detecting. Those production buildings are amazing pieces of History itself. Love the fact that they still had most of their original window glass in place. The "bucket" inserted into the bench in the first building was probably for either, lubricant, or cleaning fluid, for the shells, as they came of the bench. And love that tower, with all it's small, mysterious, rooms. The sign on the lift doors said something like "Keep closed when elevator not in use". The other sign "Loschgerat" means extinguisher. It's little signs like that, that add to the sense, the place was a hive of activity, and noise. The top floor of that tower appeared to be for ventilation equipment, probably extracting all the fumes from the floors below. Cannot wait to see what part 2 brings us from this amazing place. Cheers to you both!

@WW2HistoryHunter Год назад

yes loved this place. MD is out of the question there due to area and type of area. Just imagine hanging around there during the days and just watching the activity going on there. Must have been interesting for sure. Thanks and more to come soon :)

Another extremely interesting historical place pertaining to WW2. Can't begin to imagine the time time spent planning and errecting this facility. It would have provided much needed income for some of the local trades, as times were tough then. Right you are HH, that ammunition plant was humongous. So much more to see there for sure. Worth a return visit. Oh and for those of you who can't read the German, Russian, or any other language you can use Google translate. 😊 Say hi to EE for me HH. Take care everyone.

@andik859 Год назад

Bei mir in der Umgebung in Nordhessen gibt es viele dieser Anlagen, hier war die größte Munitionsherstellung. Luftwaffe und Heer hatten eigene Fabriken. Gebaut wie kleine Orte und Bunker in den Wäldern die mit Bäumen oben drauf bepflanzt waren. Von der Größe des Geländes und der Menge der Bunker müssen es große Mengen Munition gewesen sein, doch gereicht hatte es nie und man musste Munition sparen. Sogar Kirchturmglocken wurden für Munition eingeschmolzen und man entwickelte Stahlhülsen weil man kein Messing mehr ausreichend hatte.

@JuleyC Год назад

@@WW2HistoryHunter I've noticed how like in this video you often use short sounds to test for echo's and such. I thought perhaps this was from doing something similar with the equipment on the submarine. I also have noticed EE will copy you. I was wondering if he knows why you do it and how to listen for the echo's and how they are made.

@WW2HistoryHunter Год назад

@@JuleyC oh now i understand. Yes that is indeed a intended action that has roots in my past as a sonar operator and the knowledge of how sound behaves in different situations. Different sound responses will indicate what kind of room / tunnel and size , height , length such can be expected to be and is just a little fun thing that me and EE do out there trying to establish more knowledge in a simple way. EE has developed his own method doing this i fell and i have heard him many times doing this without me doing it first.Thank you my friend.

6:36 this building has structures that look like they were used to produce explosives. The large concrete vats and these strange bath things in the floor probably for munitions production in some way? Very interesting I saw a 'fusing bench' in the factory where they screw the fuses in. The hole in one of the productiion tables is to put a shell nose down \/ (the pointed end) to work on the base maybe a timer or barostatic fuse sometimes. I have seen footage of WW2 with munitions production and much of what you saw was in the film.

These basins at 6:00 could have been used for the treatment or production of nitrocellulose, which is a basic ingredient for smokeless propellants a.k.a gunpowder. Do do this, wood shavings were soaked in acid, which was quite dangerous, as this triggered an exothermic chemical reaction, i.e. generated heat, which could make such a facility accidentally go up in flames.

Was the tower for the chemical process for manufacturing explosives e.g. distillation and fractionation by enclosing it in a building it would make it very hard for the allies to find out what was going on.

It could be not sure and perhaps what we will show in part 2 will tell us more. Thanks.

Is there any chance there are wartime pics of these factory buildings in use? I'd love to see what they looked like in their heyday.

@WW2HistoryHunter Год назад

I have seen some very few actually. Thanks for watching.

It had to take a lot of work to build that brick road at the beginning of the video. This location had to be something to see when it was in use. I bet the small towns and villages around this complex flourished from the soldiers stationed there. While we hear about all the bad things the Germans did, they did help some people with jobs and supporting businesses. However some were punished after the war for supporting the Germans even though these people were just trying to survive. Seeing the tables were they worked on the munitions still there was interesting to see. I had seen pictures of them before. How long do you think it would take to actually explore every area of this camp? Great to watch this video again.

@WW2HistoryHunter 11 месяцев назад

Yes so much work involved to build all that. There were several thousand working in and around the area. Thanks Anthony and greetings from us.

The writing in the elevator doors said something like " do not use in case of firealarm"

@WW2HistoryHunter Год назад

Indeed and thanks for watching.

I would really like to see photos of this place in action

@WW2HistoryHunter Год назад

There might be that out there i would not know. Thanks.

Ventilation equipment is usually in the top floors. Hence the round holes in the walls and raised platforms for the ventilation motors. Production with explosives in the bottom floors. Packaging and administration in the middle. The writing on the elevator doors says, that elevator cannot be used during air raid alarms. I reckon the large wooden ammunition box is for 76mm tank ahells, i have seen those before, in pictures from eastern front of overrun russian positions. So the russians habe properbly used the installation after the war. Awaiting part 2 😊
