WW2 GERMAN ARMY HUGE SECRET BUNKER COMPLEX MAUERWALD 

The best ww2 channel out there. Detailed and well researched. Love every video. Keep up the awesome work. God bless from South Africa 🙏

At 03:35 there is music... That's the Luftwaffe march from the movie "The battle of Britain" (1969). Such an iconic marching song.

I was on location last year. Now I have an urge to go back and re-exprerience the place with all the additional insights from Tino. P.S. I agree with Tino that the exhibition is somewhat strange.

Tino, I am enjoying the tour and your running commentary. WWII forgotten (?) History.

The outside rungs to the roof was so the camouflage could be watered or attended to.Trees were planted so the roof could not be seen by the enemy flyers. Many of the drainage hatches look like inspection pits for telephone cables.There would be at least one back up system for the telephone lines in case of damage.

Awesome tour. Thank you!

Excellent. Wish I'd known about this place when I visited the Wolfs Lair.

Glad to see another great video, this place has never really been covered. Enjoy your work, Keep it up Tino

The ramps beside the stairs? Maybe simple access for hand carts / trucks, to carry equipment, ammo, rations, etc. in and out of the bunker. Easier than hand-carrying up and down stairs?

New subscriber here. Love your channel! Have been watching all of your content!

That would be facinating to visit that bunker. Pretty cool they set it up as a museum.

You find the most interesting structures!

Thanks Tino, wished knew about these places when visited Field Marshall Edwin Rommel resting place.

looks like a great place to turn into cottages ...........its nice by the lake

Any great one Tino . Thank you. I totally agree with you about East Prussia being beautiful . Very much looking forward to seeing your visit in the winter . It would be beautiful and I am betting you will need , skis , snowshoes and possibly some sled dogs . :-) Thanks again Tino

I was wondering if you revisited these places during the winter (or late fall or early spring) when the leaves (and insects) are down. I grew up near Gettysburg and one thing I love about your videos is the sense that I get from the best historians there: that the field itself is such an underrated and overlooked resource. And my experience tromping around there is that in the offseason (non-summer) things are SO much more visible; the terrain is easier to read and interpret, and of course stuff that is hidden back in the brush pops right out when the foliage is down. Anyway... I hope you do more video if/when you revisit in the "offseason." Thanks for your videos, man! Love them!

I want to start hanging with you. You go to all the cool places. You have the energy that I used to have playing war with my friends. No instead of playing war we like to go to places that ward have happened. We don't bring rifles we bring metal detectors and magnets and grappling hooks. The grappling hooks are usually are a one trip tool. They get stuck and left behind. That's why I make them out of old reed bar. Not very big and bulky but they get the job done. I'm now going to start working on Camp Grant in Rockford Illinois. It was a WW1 boot camp and airport. Durring WW2 it was expanded to double the size and used to train medics for all branches of the military and prisoners of war from Africa and Italy were brought here. They worked in the farming industry. I think they worked in the corn and berry fields. From what I have learned is that the prisoner's loved it here so much a large % of them stayed or moved here after the war. We have a large German and Swedish community in the area. At the camp there was over 1700 buildings a 500 yard shooting range a artillery range a huge outdoor ampitheater. There are only a few buildings still standing. The original fire station is still standing. It is a restaurant and museum but it has closed because the owners are in thier 80's and decided to stop after being there since 1961. It was the PX up to when the government shut it down and opened the RFD/Chi international airport. Ups has one of thier largest facilities here instead of chicago. I guess it's cheaper to do it here then in Chicago. We are only 90 minutes away and it cost 1-5th the cost to live here over Chicago. I have been there a few times and now I'm trying to talk with them for a interview. They are trying to find someone to take it over. Since there is unexploded artillery round in the ground it's against the law to metal detect the area. The park district took it over and the ranges be and training areas are now the property of the park district and the main camp is now the airport. There 8s massive area that is about 2 miles long and 1 mile wide that is covered by homes and businesses and farm land. The rifle range is really cool. The target hoisting system and concrete trench are still there. The firing line was on one side of a river and the target trench is 9n the other side. This is the area that I want to work on. Since I can't metal detect o can use a magnet and sonar to see what's under the river. The river runs around both sides of the airport/camp. There is a area that is next to the airport that is really sketchy area to go. We call it meth island. It was where all the officers had thier club and movie theater and the main hospital for the camp a dance hall and other training buildings. I am going to buy a canoe and hit the river and see what I can find. I feel lucky so hopefully I will find some stuff. I'm going to send the WW2HISTORYHUNTER a diorama of the things that I find like he has done for me 6 different times. His saying is history or everywhere. At the beginning of each month he does give a ways where he and his young son build several dioramas and he gives them to his patreon supporters. He has helped me out by using one of my videos in his and built the video around my video. It was so nice of him and I got a lot of subs from that. Sorry 8 usually make long posts when im passionate about something plus I take a lot of pain meds because I have 3 bad disc's and it's hard to walk in the morning. It's all my fault. I bent over wrong in 1992 and herniated a disc. It took me 6 months to learn how to walk again and 8n that Tim I alwowed myself to get morbidly obese to the point I hit 701 lbs. That opened my eyes and now I'm working on getting healthy. I'm down to 587 in one year. I feel so much better but 8 am still in constant pain but I don't let it stop me. Nothing will stop me. I just have to keep pushing myself forward. One foot 8n front of the other. Pick them up and set them down. When 8 don't think I can go any farther I take another 100 steps. Then I think about how fat I got and then I go farther. The more I push myself the farther I can go. Do many people have it worse off the I do. I think of them and push through. You have a fan for life. Do you have a patreon account?let me know and I will become a member. I hope you read this. Good luck on the history hunt. 🇺🇸💪

Great video as always Tino. Ramps with stairs usually means a way of rolling barrels so you can walk down it. So likely storage block for chemicals? On the other hand, stairs with a ramp could mean a conveyor running down the middle but that would mean an underground that has been covered/ filled up. If its a generator room, then an easy way of rolling barrels of fuel down.

Hi Tino, Great video, one definitely needs one wits, if that's the right word to use. well hidden buildings, Some good views there that you have shown. I can also see why they wanted to try and keep it. Quite an amazing site, let's hope they can preserve it as much they can,. 👍

Thanks Tino exelent coverage.. Befehlstand Ostprussia...👍👍!!!

The thatched cobblestone roadways are incredible & ironic, in that, if they had to be defended with heavy tanks, the weight would chew the stones & make the lanes impassable to wheeled vehicles [Arnhem 1944]. Of course, an overrun was not planned for, so it's just another example of German construction & attention to detail. One doesn't have to agree with the ideology to appreciate the engineering.

Klasse gut huhuu aus dem Hűrtgenwald an euch L.g.walter

Thank you for taking me to these interesting places. Could building 12 have been a central boiler house? Service tunnel with pipes to carry steam or hot water and a chimney outside, u shaped blocks to mount the boiler cylinders and separate plinths for burners

East Prussia is beautiful the question is how and why were these bunkers able to survive?

Absolutely fascinating, thanks.

Great episode. Throughly enjoyed it.👍🏻

Great footage and great channel. I know some of these were obviously built during the last world war but apart of me wonders if some of these are even older. More so when you get to the fortresses in the mountains near France.

Well fantastic architect.But i wonder how did they built them in very short period of time?

Great work Tino, I hope to visit someday.

Great work, no BS, good info and videos , get good feel of the places...keep it up 👍🏽😃😃😃

Did each of these bunker complexes have a civilian workforce for maintenance and repair of plumbing, lighting systems, heating, etc.?

Dear Tino, your researche-stories are really thrilling, including your bitter struggling against the MOSQUITOS!! Need no more movie channels! Go further and ahead! 👍👍🐗🎖️

The living verdant camouflage was interesting. But, sea grass mixed with "hardened" concrete? You want to check that. It looks very effective and still functions, or as you said still growing. I don't think it was seaweed, perhaps some locally prolific living plants moss and lichen more likely.

cable duct for exhaust genertators or backup radio antennas

Now 107k subscribers, I haven't seen this one before.

Cool place :) (y) In theory there is possible to have under ground bunkers near water - In Estonia there is one near beach and about 20 sth meters below sealevel unfortunetly it is in use for something and not open that made me question my expectation of underground places now they buid tunnels under sea but it is not that new thing - that be really stealthy to make bunker under lake :) well that makes a new use for dephtcharges as bunkerbusters but still most people wouldnt expect underground bunker under water

19:20 dude there's plenty of bar still hangin out to still get up there!

July 14th had a lil laugh it's my birthday my daughter tho stole the show so speak her birthday is ve day lol

Thanks Tino could that Bunker at the end of the vid have been a backup power source using Submarine Batteries?? Just a theory but they would provide emergency electrical power for comms and defences i would have thought anyway cheers for walking it next time take a Bicycle!!👍

Great video, boy would l love to be there

the owner has an obsesion of the amber room, very nice museum

Go to Birlin, University of Heisenberg,under this school is a bunker, command Bunker in Zossen/tunnel tests,

Great ! Good to see the Bunkers not destroyed. Seaweed is a first. It seems that Hitler was obsessed with building Bunkers; wonder if he got a ' kick-back ' on the concrete; joking. It seems there was quite a lot of ' over kill ' in building stagnant positions. The Germans, early in their conquest, showed their best battle tactics being mobile & fast. Now, we see how paranoid the Nazi were in building set positions necessary to defend. Thought about the " Western Wall " and the fortifications. Correct me if I wrong; didn't Rommel wish he had more mobile panzer groups as opposed to stagnant Gun Emplacements ? Good to see a complete section not destroyed. Thanks.

great video!!!

U did awesome job.

Thanks Tino , this time for a great tour of Mauerwald. Have you been to the WW2 German "Zossen Military complex" (Maybach 1 & 2 + Zeppelin bunkers, etc..) that was later used by the Soviets during the Cold War ? I read a book on it a few years ago that had some great period photos & diagrams. After watching a number of your videos of late, I think I'll have to dig it out & give it another look.

Damn where did this video come from , thought I'd seen all of your videos..

My wife is complaining why am i watching these depressing bunker videos LOL I didn't marry her for her knowledge on history i guess. Love these uploads keep them coming.

What was with the air raid siren noise. Did I miss something??

darn good builders those germans

It's physical impossibility to build and assemble all the equipment that that the Germans did. If it takes Melbourne a year with all the best technology and materials available to build a tunnel. How did the Germans do what they did in the time they did. Just getting materials from a to b and sourcing the materials during war is near impossible. You don't build underground. You excavate then lay a slab and build up. These guys apparently built down? Think about sub tunnels. Have you heard of NYC groundhogs? The company? Since NYC was established they have dug out the subways. Not built. Just dug out.

@55:58, any idea what that lattice-like tower is?

funny how the use of bunkers managed to extend the war, goes without saying he who digs deepest is more apt to last a bit tad longer

👍👍😎

This title was written on CAPS LOCK DAY ?

Where are the exhaust outlets for these generator rooms?

Can't watch it those recordings of bombs and sirens are so distracting

Super interessant dine videos om bunkere; hvis du kommer til Ribe, er der ikke langt til Tirpitz bunkerne. vardemuseerne.dk/exhibition/tirpitz-bunker/

Wasted resources by Germany. Love to find out about the Berlin hidden underground; under the Auto Barn that leads to the chancery.Thought to be an underground road.

Je suis très gravement NAVRÉ QUE CE N'EST PAS EN FRANÇAIS NI " SOUS-TITRES !?" je n'y comprends rien à la langue !

It's another STARFORT.

Seaweed - best Building Camo Ever , - looks like it still "lives" Get this on military Vehicles .. make millions ?

Seaweed, are you sure?

It could be, some of the runs you can't identify are Animal runs.

Min. 26: kid on surgical attire. Cattle related work or WTF?

It is not East Prussia any more! It' s eastern Poland since the end of 2ww.

If they were building U-boat's here, My ass is a spaceship!!! Hhhahaha

MY heritage is Prussian; My Great-great-great-great, etc. Grandfather was a Hessian soldier hired by the British to help suppress the rebellion in the USA. He ended up being captured and at the end of the Revolutionary war in the US he was given a choice: 1) accept a land grant in Virginia and become a US citizen or 2) be hung by the neck tomorrow until dead.

En français s'il vous plaît !

What does it say about mankind where the fascination with man's ingenuity and artifice can mask his wickedness , destructiveness and immorality ? I have always been fascinated by nazi science and apparent brilliance in mechanical fields of endeavor . But at the same time the utter folly in their beliefs in racial purity and that a country of about 50 million could conquer billions ?????????????? Perhaps the unfair settlements of the First World War created an enmity for Germany's neighbors so great that World War II was unavoidable !!!!!!!!!!!!

Unsubscribed. Ads every few minutes, it really is getting ridicules. Bloody RU-vid. Makes all your hard work unwatchable.

Stopped watching as soon as one plank of wood stopped you, you really have played nazi zombies 😂 good job.
