Families lived in these bunkers after the war? Wow

once the round is ready on the table, you roll it into the back with the pull handle as you showed. they then closed the shutter and cranked the other handle to lift the shell up to the gun pit above. the reason that there is more than one shell lift per gun position is because of the time it takes to put a shell together compared to how fast the gun could be fired. I am sure in your next video, you will show where the shells came up in the sides of the gun pit.

Great part 2 my friend. As I said this would be a great restoration project also a lifetimes worth. If i remember some documents, there is a mechanical interlock on the shutter system that keeps you from turning the handle. Other wise if the track ways are still greased then it would more then likely still work. Noticed that like the panzers the grease fittings on the equipment was also painted red. Stay safe and well my friend. EE keep your father out of trouble.

This is an incredibly well-preserved site considering it is over 75 years since there was any maintenance of the equipment and it is near the ocean and salt air which accelerates corrosion of metal. While it would be interesting if the propaganda murals had not been painted over, I can understand that people who lived in a country occupied by the Nazis wanted to remove them considering what they experienced under occupation. Thanks for a fantastic history lesson !

For the same reason that 99% of all ETO brought home Mauser trophies had their dirty birds belted or chiseled off . The folks that paid a very HIGH PRICE to combat and ultimately defeat The Reich did not view these symbols as serving a higher purpose of historic value . They saw death and destruction in these symbols , they saw and felt memories of their basic training big six watcher get hit and get hit bad , this war was nasty , it was extreme cruelty , therefore , NO quarter was given to the enemy , much less their symbols adorned by fanatical resistance . This is why that was done way back then .

What you are saying is complete and utter nonsense and I don't believe what I'm really reading. Do not believe what you heard from the victors of WWII because they wrote it. They wrote the history to best suit their own narratives. You do understand clearly that A.H tried countless​ times to make peace with Winston Churchill but Winston Churchill refused every single time BECAUSE of the Jewish influence he had surrounding him. Did you even know that? @@johnnyzippo7109

The specific word for it escapes me, but even in archeological sites throughout history it has been common after major conflicts for the victors to attempt to deface and remove any evidence of their hated enemies. It IS unfortunate, but the concept of conserving ALL history regardless of your affiliation with it is a relatively new concept for humanity.
