Underground WW2 bunker with lights WORKING and mysterious ENCOUNTER inside.. 

That was awesome! But from a safety perspective, you may want to invest in a gas meter to be sure the pits and bunkers you go into don’t have harmful gases. My crew has a few of them and they detect several different harmful gases. Just want you and your boy to stay safe.

This may have been a WWII bunker, but looks like it was utilized as recently up to the 80s or-early 90s There looked to be some modern electrical additions, the blue electrical boxes at 4:33. The filters had radioactive symbols on them, doubt the Germans were worried about nuclear in WWII. Some doors were wood and had relatively modern looking door knobs. Looks to have been used during the cold war era.

It appears that a group of people is making sure that this place is well preserved. It looked very much alive. No wonder you had a panic attack: I was expecting at any time a voice saying "what the hell you're doing here?" That was so weird, keys in the right place, opened door, lights still on... creepy, but also fascinating. Great find!!

The dizziness, nausea, and feeling uncomfortable could be explained by bad air, like others have mentioned, but they could also be explained by high emf, electric-magnetic fields. They directly affect the electric impulses in your body, upsetting things. Emf detectors are usually not too expensive and can help determine if an environment is safe.

This is just absolutely INCREDIBLE!! I really hope this doesn't get vandalised, it would be so sad. This is amazing history! Thank you for sharing

I think the reason you felt sick was the old paint finishes and lubrication oils “gassing off”. As these older single stage (un-catalyzed air dry) finishes deteriorate, they create seriously noxious chemical laden air in enclosed spaces. I think the reason you were able to enter that bunker is because someone was following a venting procedure (usually 24hrs with 100x cfm over volume). Modern bunkers use multistage epoxy or urethane finishes to avoid this toxicity problem and off-gassing of chemicals in enclosed spaces.

Apparently this bunker was in use long after the war. Hope it doesn't get vandalized. The door marked lab makes me question what was being worked on here. Wish I was there with you to explore the bunker with you. Thank you.

Al the cabinet doors are open and the ventilation is running which means they’re trying to keep the moisture out, but the filter is probably full of mold depending when it was changed last so you might have gotten sick from bad air. The military are probably keeping it in a state where they could set up in there in an emergency

Its crazy how well preserved it was and no standing water.

Wow, this bunker is absolutely amazing and fully intact, even running power. It's amazing that the fan for the ventilation system was still operating condition. Thank you, history hunter.

This is one of your most incredible finds !!! It looks mostly frozen in time. SO AWESOME !!!

I'm a 50+ woodsman and survivalist. I have friends who have invited me on explorations similar to this like abandoned and forgotten dams, mines, factories, fish hatcheries and even an abandoned smelting mill but I keep declining as in nature I have a pretty good idea the dangers and how to avoid them but an abandoned and forgotten man made structure you never know what to expect and can find yourself in serious trouble in an instant. I stick with what I know and don't mess around where I don't belong.

Getting a multi gas detector /alerter device would definitely be a good idea for such areas. My guess is low oxygen here.

I would have to agree with others that there was a concentration of some sort of gas in that bunker. I've had experience with that sort of thing myself. Definitely a strange situation. I appreciate you and your traveling to these locations and sharing the adventures with us. I'm glad there were no lasting effects from the bunker. I'd hate to think that you or your were ever in danger. God bless you both.

Dear friend it was nice to catch up with you again ,that bunker was awesome.please keep safe you and your son and daughter 🤗

This complex was probably used by the allies back during the cold war just like the tunnels in pirmasens were I've spent some time during war games. Pretty cool.

Excellent video even with the post WW2 upgrades it’s an absolute treasure to find, hope locals don’t go and destroy it. I used to explorer the destroyed Siegfried Line bunkers near Zweibrücken hoping to find something in the 80s, but this is a jackpot of coolness find.

This was an amazing find. With everything still working and many original items there, it was like a look back in time! Keep up the amazing videos.

Yeah, on the way back from the safe you walked past 2 plastic drip coffee makers. This started life as a ww2 bunker, but it's still alive and may be someone starting a sweet bomb/ bug out shelter. Proceed with caution, they might like to keep the location secret. If the air system is still running, they are drying it out. It appears the typewriter went into production about 1960's so yeah its been active after the war.

Someone is still upkeeping that bunker. It’s so awesome seeing all the original equipment still intact and unmolested. Probably a museum of some sort. Very rare as the allied usually dismantled the equipment.

The sound! You recorded what the pulse of that bunker sounds like with everything running. Incredible.

This is amazing. A few months ago I met a German fella who was a kid in Germany during the war. He told me a story about a kid in his school. When the British flew over, they would go down into the basement . In school, this kid said to the teacher. " When we go into the basement, Daddy talks to the stove and the stove talks back " . You can guess what happened. He was arrested. Interesting times. So glad we are friends now. Take care from Australia.

This is absolutely amazing I've said it before and I'll say it again YOU ARE SO LUCKY to be able to find and appreciate these amazing pieces of history frozen in time all over Europe. Unfortunately in Canada there isn't much to see here for history of the war or in general! The wests motto is crush and make it new and better no preservation here. Thank you for continuing to preserve history through your adventures!!

Definitely seems as though this was in use long after WW2. Perhaps a cold war era shelter or bunker of some sort? Definitely a spooky situation, but very cool. The power being on and things running is absolutely nuts!

Sounds like you were just so overwhelmed with what you saw that anxiety took over. You couldn't believe what you had found. You like so much what you do & we can always hear it in you voice with every exploration but this one was out of this world. It kinda looks like Cold War stuff, too new to be WW2 but I could be wrong.

remeber when he was at 80k subs good too see he's getting the recognition he deserves

This was used into the 70s or early 80s from the look of some of the stuff. It's a command center, likely focused on shipping lanes and/or lanes of attack. There is some fairly modern communications interfaces on the wall there, but it's interesting that they seem to have used the German terminal blocks for their phone circuits. The typewriter is 1970s vintage. Two of the 4 filters have radiological stickers on them, but the other two appear to be original-original. The set-up of the whole thing points to keeping a survivable command center should WWIII had started. Not unknown for NATO to reuse German structures like this for secure locations. The power is probably on because some of the circuits are still in use and just pass through there. The way you went in is likely for technical folks to service the active lines and such....but someone left the cover off for all our benefit! Or, could be a really crappy Air B&B lol. Amazing to see some of the original German systems still in use.

What an amazing bunker. I would have been nervous to, hearing the ventilation pump running made it seem spooky. Thank you for the tour. Can't wait for the next adventure.

Wow, this is incredible. I don't know what happened to you, but am I ever glad you filmed it. Unreal the places you and Eagle eye find. Thank you

Definitely looks like a WW2 German bunker refurbished and repurposed for Cold War - with later “lab” tenant

Oviletti 82 typewritter was made in the 1960's in Brittan. Gives you a time frame of operation.

This was a great video. Be careful exploring places like that. Thanks for the video.

Wow that was 😧 scary. Cool vid History Hunters. These bunkers are just amazing how they are still standing and there is just sooo many. Crazy😅

Absolutely incredible!! Obviously, there has been a lot of post-war activity there, but to see some of the original fixtures is amazing. I did get a weird vibe about the bunker, while watching the video, I think it was because there was power on in there. As somebody else has commented, I think you should invest in some gas detectors to make sure that it's safe to go into these underground installations. Thank you and EE for such an amazing explore 👍

As someone who suffers PTSD and Chronic Anxiety, I can't say I've ever felt nausea with it. Although, when overcome with emotion, who can say? Every single person and human body is diff. I'd still lean towards bad air, whatever it may be. I won't speculate. Have watched you for a good 9-10 yrs. and only sporadically the last few. So glad to catch up with you and know there are still many many neat places and artifacts left to be discovered. Even with so many others out looking, there's plenty for you all I think/hope. This is by far, one of the neatest and most exhilarating finds tho. They are all great, but I could really feel your emotion and shock of finding this well kept place. GREAT WORK!

Reminds me of an bunker from the war converted into a Nato bunker. I visited one near Basel. Huge and unused - but could be used again quickly in a hurry. Still had a generator, lighting, a lift, etc.

By the color and the equipment that is still in there, it looks like this facility was used well into the Cold War also. Very cool find!

Incredible find, Who? why? when? maintains this, it's like a walk through in a museum. And so well preserved and respected

Add Starlink Wi-Fi , heating, air conditioning, working fridge with food, bed, and my gaming pc. Goodbye world.

I enjoy your travels around Europe to see first hand the unbelievable amount of construction that had been done in such a short period. I'd like to see what you would think of going to smaller towns that were fairly untouched by the war and getting permission from some of the older residents that have lived through the war. Would imagine the amount of relics in attics and outbuildings would be staggering. Not to mention the possibly new places to go to.Just for looking at and getting their personal experiences would be very educational. Those that survived obviously had very rough lives for long after the war.

Man,you really had the ball of steel to jumped into that bunker by yourself😮 I think you might had been encountered with residual "different level of frequency or energy" down there. I saw a dead mouse, that's not a good sign.the bunker might having lack of oxygen or polluted by poisonous gas. Stay safe and, Much appreciate for this!

This bunker was so fantastic, you felt bad it might have been something in there, that was a German command center everything was in good shape, thank you , there is so much out there, thank you, Steve

That bunker was on the more mysterious side. I was white knuckled, waiting for the big reveal. Happy you made it out okay. I often wonder if the air in these bunkers, is old and stale. Although the fan was still running, you didn’t mention if you felt, any air flowing around you. It’s a good thing EE was topside.

Keep yourself safe out there HH, you never know what is lurking around in the depths of these old bunkers. Nice mix of original electrical equipment and later more cold war era stuff. Whatever is going on down there they certainly seem to like their coffee!

You were Brave man to have gone in that far into this CLEAR War Bunker....

Incredible find, who was using it post war? Thanks again for sharing this with us. Great job locating it.

Amazing!!! I've watched for yrs as you know, this one, by far got me nail biting my friend!!! Defo braver man than me! Thanks so much for your efforts! Wow! Our best from Kelowna bc! James n the family ❤

Thank you for returning to the bunker to record this video. As other commentators have said, it must have been the stale air, fumes, gas, etc, which made you light-headed and nauseous. It's certainly a very odd place and I imagine that it's a disused NATO bunker - ,the phonetic alphabet (Alpha, Bravo, etc), list, maps and diagrammes on the walls would suggest a NATO exercise with the Royal Danish Navy. But I wonder who's paying for the electricity bill...What will you and EE find next?

HH, when you 1st showed what was down the hole, I figured it would be filled with water. A ladder and stairs, amazing! I kept worrying that you would turn around and someone would be standing there! Ghost or human! I'm sorry to hear about what happened down there. I am so grateful you are ok, and EE didn't go down with you. I don't want either one of you to get sick out there. I'm hoping this will help you with fuel or whatever is needed the most. Thank you for sharing this amazing video and for all of the work you put into these. I'm going back to watch this again and see what I missed the 1st time! Take care and keep up the great work. Enjoying all of these!

Those radioactive stickers didnt concern you??

You could live in that right now! Amazing dude!

I wouldn’t want the electric bill for that bunker being on since ww2 ❤

It is a time capsule... it has not been disturb or visited since WWII... Great find... =8-)

Wow that is by far the best preserved place I have ever seen. Stunning find!

I would hazard a guess that the large filter containers with hazardous material symbols on could have been an issue too HH. As others say, get a gas meter, Geiger counter etc for your safety. Great video!

Another brilliant presentation. Thank you so much.

U were definitely breathing bad air, there are reports of people having extreme paranoia and nightmarish hallucinations, hence your feelings of unease, anxiety and on the verge of panic, something about breathing bad air seems to mess with the fight or flight part of our brain along with causing serious respiratory problems.

What an awesome find. Hmm might have to look more into the history of the area. Would chalk it up to like that heavy feeling you get when you visit Dachau. Looking at those gauges they show no input. Hmmm might need to send the paranormal folks in to investigate. But what a fantastic find you and EE had found. Thanks for sticking it out and taking us along. 👍👍👍👍👍🍻🍻

That's a cold war bunker as nuclear filtration wasn't developed until the late 50s and 60s Modern equipment has been added like the blue boxes on the wall and with electrics running means someone was down there just before you entered. Some of the doors and doorframes are fairly new. Its in the middle of being refurbished as much of whats in their is probably less then 20 to 30 years old. Its probably an observation and communication strategic bunker. But definitely has been recently entered and worked on just before you entered, always go with a rad meter a particle meter and pollution meters so you know wht you could be facing. The dizziness is likely stale air and lack of oxygen in the air, a particle monitor could warn you of this.

What an amazing find. Obviously a lot of work was done on that command bunker after the war, since a lot of the fittings are definitely not original, but it certainly gives you a great sense of what it would have been like under German occupation. I suspect during your first time through, you found a pocket of "bad air". Possibly in the room marked "LAB" with the skull and crossbones post it note under the sign. With the doors closed, and only the ventilation pump running, and no other movements to disturb the air, like people moving around, "bad air" can build up just from mould, or fittings like wood, paint, etc. slowly decomposing, and giving off who knows what chemicals. Perhaps this is why the ventilation pump was left running and no one was home. Someone was just giving the system time to clear the old air out, and circumstance just put you in the right place at the wrong time. Thankfully our favourite HH was okay, and like the trooper he is, continued on with the exploration. Many thanks my friend for showing us this fascinating bunker. Stay safe, stay well!

It looks like someone was there very recently, also some of the boxes look like modern ones. The puking feeling might be a gas leak which might indicate that it's being used by a gas company. With all English texts in there this might even be more reality. Telephone land lines might be present too and some internet, but might then be for a local town or something.

Just imagine if we still made quality shit like that lightbulb and wiring. Unreal. Everything breaks on purpose now. Also I want one, especially with it’s own power source.

Old school history hunter vibes at the end!! So, since it said "lab" on the door, and the ventilation system was on... could there have been some residual chemical in the air that made you sick? I'm glad you're ok, and this was an amazing bunker! Thank you!

This is incredible

Some of the electric boxes are fairly recent, but much of the cables have been removed.

Excellent job with documenting this bunker. I think you got sick from methhane gas exposure. There must have been a septic tank for all the waste water. With all the water dried up in the plumbing, the gas could be coming from the toilet, sink and shower. Normally there would be vent pipes but they must be clogged up? Glad to hear everything worked out ok.

One more thing, it is said by professionals that spirits feed off of energy. Batteries, moving water and electrical energy being used. Who knows? It was freaking AWESOME to see this bunker. Thanks! 😊

Amazing find! It really does preserve the historic as well as more modern era. Some local military unit historian might know something about it, if there are any military bases close by. A bit concerned seeing the radiological stickers on the two filters :) Hopefully the property owner will take steps necessary to keep it intact and not let it be vandalized. (But yeah, it could make a really cool AirB&B with some upgrades!)

Good afternoon from Syracuse NY USA brother and everyone else thank you for sharing your adventures in history

Wow, what a great find! But, I'm pretty sure it was the bad air that made you get sick, possibly CO2 or low Oxygen levels. A gas monitor would be a good investment for this type of place.

The “maybe died to a ghost” bill is adding up

Being dizzy is one of the signs of poor ventilation brother

Outstanding find HH, glad you didn't go down the tube headfirst. That is a heck of a mix of German and Local post war. I can tell you that the blue console in the map room sells for $3,000 as it sat there. Did it have a machine gun point on the other end? That the power is still on is a bewildering thing. I wonder if a group of local kids are/were using it as a playhouse. No military would have hyphenated the communications label. This is still a great find. Wonder if there was an EMI field being generated or in the case of becoming ill an area was flooded with ultrasonics. We used to use it as an intruder defense but most states here it is illegal. Glad you are ok no apparent damage and you are well. Greetings to the family. Stay safe and well out there.

What an incredible find, quite controversial as most equipment is German as you would expect, but, the typewriter is an English layout and some of the planning boards are written in English. Incredible that there is still power running, or could somebody be running the fans to keep it dry down there? Fantastic and a big well done.

Wow!..never seen anything like it! A complete bunker almost intact.

The things you come across on your explorations!! Amazing! I wonder if there was sewer gas in an area of the bunker you traveled through and you were exposed? This bad air would have made you feel ill and might have caused an unsettling feeling. Quite an interesting place with a lot of gear in it that could be brought back into use if need be but it needs to be ventilated! Another great video HH! Stay safe and stay well!!

Looks like it was used after the war, the writing of the colours were in English and other writings. Also, one of the tables had a cut out for a TV type monitors.

I’d love to have that on my five acres in Virginia. The electrical panels looked quite modern. The power was on too? Very strange. Imagine tapping into the power and using it, you’d never get a bill from the power company.

At 13:28 A wall mounted box has the date 26.09.05 written on it. That, plus quite a lot of more modern electrical installations (including some that look like telecoms switches that have data bus style connections at 14:28) would suggest that this facility was in use for something up until at least 2005. A fascinating find though.

Incredible, is the bunker on private land? I only ask as it doesn’t seem to vandalised. Crazy place, great vid

It is so unexpected to be in a bunker that has life in it still. It is like the war was still there.

There's a reason someone left the air filter system running ! Maybe radon gas is present in the hole in the ground ? 🤔

This has to be one of your best bunker finds to date! Great work!!! In the room next to the one with the stove/ fridge and running fan I could have sworn I saw a green colored phone? If it was a phone I was hoping that you would have picked it up to see if it had a dial tone. That would have been” really cool” or if someone said hello when you picked up the handset? I would have loved to see your reaction. Can’t wait for the eastern front work to start showing up! Stay safe and healthy you guys. Ron Ps; The more I think about this bunker, I can’t stop wondering if it was used by the US or NATO ( English writing everywhere) during the cold or post Cold War years depending on if it was located in East or West Germany? Also, the open manhole should have ( I think ) let a fair amount of moisture in depending on how long it’s been open? The stairs were dry as well as the floor at the bottom of the stairs. The walls and ceiling were dry too! The blower must be removing moisture somehow and is equipped with another source for fresh dry air? The only rust that I saw was on the safes and a little on the hardened doors? A truly spooky place to visit if you let your mind wander! I can picture clandestine special operations or spies working out of there. Think of the 007 tools and tricks of the trade being developed there for “ Their eyes only”!!!

That looks like a really nice rackmount desk. I wonder if it's standard size.

In retrospect, I guess the fact the ventilation was running and the entrance (originally the emergency exit?) was open might have been a clue that the air quality was not good, and it was being flushed out. Say safe and remember to always carry the air quality tester at all times. The symptoms you described reminded me of my father's description of the effects of mild nerve gas exposer he was subjected to whilst doing his national service with the RAF in the early 1950s (so they would recognize the symptoms in the event of a chemical attack).

Man, what a crazy discovery! Really makes one wonder who owns it and what was it being used for.

A step back in time. Thank you.

The ventilation is not working properly that is why you were having problems brother

Glad I found this channel. You find some incredible things!

If you felt dizzy or sick maybe there was bad air, perhaps you should get an Oxygen Monitor the kind miners use, just a thought, stay safe HH

this is creepy, in the fact you could have turned a corner and been in a room manufacturing goodness knows what... and the protection needed. The enterance looked a more modern water pipe, and a lot of work needed to keep it all going. Nice work, love it, cheers from New Zealand!

I really like this one. It is hard to find a WWII bunker in this kind of condition.

Looks more like a cold war bunker?!!

It is nice to see a bunker that is not trashed, full of graffiti, and has been attached by scrappers. Amazing!

Who is paying the electric bill?

everything looks so new

Look to me like it was in the process of being maintained or repaired and there were some modernizations with the electricity. The ventilation was certainly turned on. It looked too clean to be abandoned.

Used yet not vandalized. Incredible! Could be the air system is not bringing in fresh air. Fan could be just moving the same air around. The open top let's in just enough air to not suffocate you?

Might maybe a WW2 Bunker, but to me it looks more like a Cold-War Bunker. Too much "modern" cabeling and equipment. Looks like from the 80's to early 90's. Some switches (black, round ones) look older. So my conclusion is that this WW2 Bunker was partly modernized through cold-war times - as was done with many of them.
