I’m so glad I have this one in the future to enjoy and I hope you can appreciate my sincere gratitude for everything you do for us to help us learn from our history. 📚☘️👍
Maybe we can finally see the lost secret tunnel tire factory responsible for so many tires in these old bunkers and tunnels! Love the program Tino keep safe and healthy.
@Lost Battlefields w Tino Struckmann. You should definitively visit the place shown on the map at 47:46. It is possible during the summer to take part in a guided tour through on of the U relocations there (badger 1 in English) and it is really impressing to see.
I am actually on vacation in the Baltics. Plenty of interesting things to see. Much military real estate ;-). Interesting because all this changed hands during the past decades quite often.
Those metal pieces you have seen before in other tunnel systems are to be used with rebar. Separating, and keeping the layers of rebar at a specific spacing when pouring reinforced concrete.
kalkstein=limestone, needed for steelproduction, during the Thomas -process phosphorus was separated from iron ore and used as phosphate fertilizer. Steelproduction was located in Saarland, Luxemburg and Lothringen nearby.
Great video! Thanks again!... ever one of these I see I can't help but marvel at the amount of infrastructure that has been built only for it to go to waste...so much work and effort...
I have to hand it to you Tino. I don't know how long your trips typically are when you go over there, but you must hit the ground running. Or even sprinting, lol. Good Lord, you must be a busy beaver, hahaha. But I appreciate it. Especially as you have the right contacts to find all these very out of the way locations. Especially with this man. I enjoy when you meet up with him. He's got a lot rattling around in that brain of his. Plus it's funny watching him just charge around like lightning bolt, lol. No hill or mountain will stop that man. Hahahaha....
I use to do this back in the 1990's in the USA, scanning US topographical maps for underground limestone mines and coal mines and trekking to explore them. You would of made an excellent exploration partner. Met some interesting people and got a toured exploration inside an SUV of one vast hallway and pillar limestone system in Tennessee. He asked me to help him sell it for him, and I had no idea where I would find a buyer for a hole in the ground... plus I wanted it for myself. He ended up selling it for 14 million dollars (I think to a food storage company) and retired rich with his gold digger young wife I'm sure. I went and explored another one on my own I had my heart set on, with an underground waterfall inside... but someone eventually bought it. I was flat broke at the time and my only hope was to maybe buy it for a few bucks somehow as an Industrial Fema site. I have relatives in Germany and been there many times, but never did any underground explorations save for finding a few abandoned bunkers in the woods while walking nature trails.
You were breathing so heavy after climbing those steps, you were fogging up my glasses .LOL. I believe some cardio may be needed during your travels. Look forward to watching all your content, I learned so much from your travels. Keep safe.
Tino, we all enjoy your historical trips down memory lane, for your Birthday treat yourself to a treadmill, use it regularly, push yourself after a month or two and give up the cigars, in 6 months you'll be in MUCH better shape than you are now.
Awesome video. Turning the sensitivity down on your mic may be a good idea . Hearing your breathe makes you sound unfit ( we know you defo are not) and its distracting. Or is it just me lol.... brilliant video so informative.
The "structure" of that tunnel complex is a bit different. It looks like a "cut and collapse" mining operation. A lot depends on the nature of the over-burden and the "load" applied from above. It all becomes more expensive and a LOT more dangerous, the deeper the excavations go. Because of geological movement, such seams are often inclined, just to add to the challenge. Basically, ""pillars" are left and the "ore" or whatever between them is carted away. That technique is often used in coal mines where the "seam" is relatively "thin" but may go for many kilometres in all directions. Was this area a traditional mining zone, repurposed late in the war?
If the NSDAP ideology was less based on hate and racial extinction and had been more focussed on safe and bombfree production earlier and more massively AND if Hitler was less of a intrigant causing technological development to be hampered by his need to build in competition among groups and organisations, Europe would have been speaking German and possibly the world by now too...
Another unplayable video thanks to RU-vid's BS refusing to believe that its website is anything other than perfect and internet 20 times the requirements is not fast enough.🥵
