There is so much more to show about it, than he was able to talk about in this short video. One information I do want to share: Not all of the tunnels a open to the public. Because the tunnels are so huge, in majority it contains the national fuel reserve of Czechia.

    06:51 The Germans weren’t the only ones building things secretly underground during the war. In the U.K. just a few miles from the city of Bath is a couple of small towns/villages called Box and Corsham along the railway line that crosses from Bristol to London via Bath. In Box is a famous tunnel built by Isambard Kingdom Brunnel, a Victorian era civil engineer infamous in the U.K. for his engineering wonders during the industrial Revolution. Anyway, during the war within the tunnel a new section of railway was built out leading to an underground city of tunnels with factories making munitions for the navy as well as aircraft for the war effort. The new railway junction within the tunnel was utilised to both supply the city with everything it needed from the Bristol docks but also to conceal this fact. A train carrying materials loaded up in the docks at Bristol from ships coming from across the Atlantic would head towards London, upon entering the Box tunnel it would proceed down the secondary railway meanwhile another train would pass out of the end of the tunnel. That way any German reconnaissance aircraft monitoring the tunnel or any German spy watching on the ground would see a train go in one end of the tunnel and out of the other and not suspect a thing!

    The workers were brought to the factory in blacked out buses and two escalators meant for Holborn station in London ended up at the factory for it was the easiest way to get 25K people out reasonably quickly. After the war it was repurposed as a nuclear bunker for the British government and it has a huge kitchen full of 1950's era appliances that have never been used. The access tunnel into the underground complex was at the eastern end of Box Tunnel and they have two railway platforms within the complex. There's also 7 miles of conveyor belts. These days the whole place stands dormant and disused.

    The dreadful thing was that Czechoslovakia as it was at that time was basically handed to the Germans on a sliver platter by the British at the Munich conference in 1938 and much to Hitler's annoyance. The Czech delegation was shut out and forbidden to participate and the fate of their country was decided by foreigners. Hitler wanted a violent invasion of the Czech state and was cheated out of it and so the violence he loved so much was unleashed on his next victim, Poland.
