This location is just a little piece of the Atlantic Wall but boy oh boy does it have great details to look at. The Germans were here in full force. --

@daveh5605 2 года назад

It's astounding that these sites still exist , I especially liked the mostly intact machine gun bunker. great stuff guys !

@WW2HistoryHunter 2 года назад

Me too , very nice place to explore :)

Where they weren't fought over, equipped, sorted then, in turn, hands up, given over, deserted to post War scrappers... mainly.

@tedkreibich8584 2 года назад

Thank you EE and dad WW2HH not only for the adventure but also the beautiful scenery you always make a point to show us. They are beautiful and show us the vast ocean, making me at first wonder why the army built such defences until I realized - that's EXACTLY why they did that... Be well, be safe to all 3 history hunters ( dad, [ WW2HH ] daughter [BBG ] and son [ EE ] ) along with a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year [ 2022 ] to the 3 of you..... TjK..

@WW2HistoryHunter 2 года назад

Thank you so very much for being here Ted and we greatly appreciated your kind support. Be well and Merry Xmas from us.

Another nice little complex that is still intact. The drone shot really brings out the running trenches, of course wintertime and limited vegetation helps. Great work as always. Both of you stay safe, warm and healthy.

Love that place William and great place for drone flying :) Thanks and be safe :)

@beverleymacdonald1352 2 года назад

Thank you for sharing this amazing location. I am sure there is still much more to share. The octagon machine gun bunker is such a secure attack/defense position and it was great to be able to see the underground bunker with the French gun-powder container just lying there. The drone footage revealed the trench system and various structures, so interesting and made your freezing hands worthwhile! What fun EE has using his imagination on these adventures and this time taking a bath! Stay warm and safe and have a wonderful Christmas together.

@HaGirl10 2 года назад

Very interesting not so well known German fortification site. Thank you for taking us inside the support shelter. The bunker with the #8 was interesting with the 1940 French gun powder can. Did have a lot of crap, but was still of interest. EE is a brave soul having a bath in the tub with the -4oc frigid weather. He could be a member of the Polar Bear or Penguin club. :) The Octagon Machine Gun Bunker was quite large and situated at an ideal location for full coverage of any ongoing enemy via the Atlantic. Thank you for all your hard work HH and EE. We appreciate it.

@WW2HistoryHunter 2 года назад

EE wanted to sleep in the bathtub there but i said no :) The location is just fantastic to study. Thanks Laura :)

@poulterbaz 2 года назад

Thank you for bring to life an area of the Atlantic wall that is little known. As you say, most people concentrate on the Normandy Beaches or the Calais areas of France, forgetting the wall stretched for over 5200 Kms. Some amazing sights at this new location, and a few surprises as well. At this time of year, may I wish you, EE and BBG a peaceful Christmas and a joyful New Year, and hope 2022 brings even more wonders for us. Thank you my friend, stay safe and well

@olanordmann4080 2 года назад

Great location at the coastline, many features to be rediscovered. The gunpowder container would probably indicate that there must have been some bigger guns as well?

@northernskys 2 года назад

Love the drone footage. It really brought the whole trench/fortification system into perspective. Brilliant stuff. Love the "bathtub". Improvisation by the troops? or maybe a later farmers water trough built using old German concrete and bricks. Looks like the local farmers have been trying to fill in the bunker entrances to keep their animals safe, so suspect that first totally filled in entrance, you found, might lead to another bunker of some sort. Love to find out! You found one hidden bunker, that could another. And great shots of the MG bunker. They obviously put a lot of thought and effort into this one in particular. Another awesome video by an awesome Team. Cheers to you all! Stay Safe, Stay Well and have a great Christmas!

Perhaps the ledge above the firing port was designed to catch hand grenades? That way they don't explode in the faces of the gunners. Just a theory.

Very well done my friend, that French powder can is amazing and in that condition too. I was doing yardwork, this was years back when I found a .44 cal pistol round ( lead ball), some buckles, a Union enlisted man's Artillery cap insignia, very early war stamped brass ribbed. The chinstrap buckle and Union eagle buttons, the battle of Yellow Bayou and Ft. Derussy aren't far from here. I dug in the yard about 4 ft.down found the Remington. 44 cal cylinder, no pistol though but I do own one dated 1863. Be safe out there brother, hey eagle eyes take care of dad and don't let him get hurt.

@@WW2HistoryHunter Especially the revolver cylinder and artillery insignia, found a horse shoe and some big spikes too.

@oldtop4682 Год назад

So, the walls outside the firing positions serve a couple of purposes. The main one is to designate lane of fire for that position. In temporary positions stakes are put in the ground. This keeps machine gunners from overlapping fire too much, and basically forces them to keep their eyes on their lane of fire. It also allows the gunner to more easily visualize what they can hit by creating a V shaped line of sight mentally. In a position like this, it also allows an opposing force to figure out the dead spots. These are close up though, so you have to get there first (not an easy task). I suspect that the Germans built up a rock wall around the outside to further disguise the position given the loose stone lying around there. The part going overhead of the MG ports may have been for weather reasons - just a guess. Another fantastic video from you and EE!

@Just-me-Laura 2 года назад

Bunker is hidden no longer as EE & HH have discovered yet another underground Regelbau. Did EE operate the drone? Excellent footage showing the layout. Excellent location for German defense fortifications. Interested in knowing a little more of the Kriegsmarine magazine story. Gotta love your diagram HH. Quite the bath leading up to the huge German Octagon MG bunker with 5 shooting positions. Simple yes, but very well built and effective. Thanks HH & EE.

@WW2HistoryHunter 2 года назад

This time EE did not fly the drone as it was so cold that with gloves he struggled to do it. Flying it without gloves is like instant dipping your hands into a ice bath. That is how cold the chill factor was that day. This place is pure magic and i loved being there Laura. Thank you for your incredible support and more to come :)
