@Tobi Gibbons yeah that partial ignorance is always frightening... it was necessary to have emergency comms centers that might somehow survive due to danger, not due to paranoia. to give a chance to the normal people, if and where they survived, to still have a way back, to survive as a nation. And not because of paranoia or for the lone survival of the comms crews. so sleeping in a corridor might have sucked, but they'd have known this smaller bunker would be more pressure resistant and less likely to be flattened along with them. at least in the early years when it was planned. it wasn't even paranoia that drove the arms race. it was IDIOCY - and still is - to not arrive at a peaceful agreement and just letting the other "block" be. But the risks were real - the weapons aren't just made of styrofoam.

I live in the UK and my age and mobility stops me doing what you guy's do so the next best thing is to watch and enjoy what you and other explorers share on line. Most of the large bunkers here are known and security is tight but we have many WW 11 bunkers and tunnels that have been abandoned and appear to be forgotten by the M.O.D. Looking what explorers are sharing here I cant help but get the impression that there are far more underground structures (decommissioned & live) than anyone ever imagined. The shared videos have got me very interested and I sometimes see buildings that "don't look right" and one I have noticed recently is a supermarket with the usual glass doors at the front and a heavy steel door at the rear whilst on the roof there are far too many air inlets and outlets and a car park far too big for the supermarkets size ! Keep sharing the great videos guy's and stay safe.

What do the locked doors with sunlight coming in lead to out? Would be cool to see the outside ground level area that lead down to the offical entrance. I’m presuming that you’re unable to get there. So cool.

I would assume they poured the slab and the walls, then used a crane to move the generator and pumps in then poured the slab for the ceiling.

Always wondered how the equipment was installed in the bunker as the corridors look too small. Are they excavated first and then a roof and soil added afterwards?

Those are left energized to deter theft of copper.

My guess is that they were either saving power or there was some administrative reason to have a human operator involved. Manual switchboards like this were not common past the 1930s except in very small circumstances. The crossbar switch was developed during WWI and was commercially popular in the 1950s and 1960s, replacing manual switchboards and rotary "step-by-step" electromechanical exchanges. By the time this bunker was built electromagnetic relays were VERY normal for telephony... full of all kinds of components including vacuum tubes and the 'new' transistor. The other commenters seem to have forgotten that television and RADAR existed at the time... automatically connecting two wires together was well within the scope of electronic capability. However those systems were expensive and consumed a fair amount of electricity. I do not believe EMPs were much of a concern for switching as the amplifiers would be built with the same technology. If the amplifiers go there's not much left, regardless of whether the switchboard is manual or automated. The entire bunker is likely shielded to protect them and all of the other communications electronics and controls. Even if it wasn't, it's possible that neither would be affected by EMPs since this does predate microprocessors.

It's NATO but no English or other NATO languages? Thanks for another interesting video, Bob.
