Working World War II Turret

[wolfmang22]

Tahoesouthshore they didn't get a chance to fire because the Germans went around the Maginot line

[Weesel71]

Oh gawd. Show some sense of history.This is a 60 mm mortar/howitzer turret -- high angle fire. Also, read very carefully and you will find that the invasion tended to GO AROUND the line rather than through it. The weak point was the Belgian border: no fortifications for political correctness (fortifying it would imply that the Belgians could not be depended upon to stop ze Boche.) The Belgians held out as best they could, but their defenses were not of the same scale as the French defenses.

[TahoeSouthShore]

[longbeachdirtbag]

that is awesome to see something that old still in working condition.

[RockingMinors]

nah that doesnt look creepy at all

[SlicerJen]

That's not a cannon, it's an old WWII nazi super robot. They only made the top of the head to just past the eyes before they had to stop production and get spanked in Berlin.

Pillbox

[nolifemerc]

can it be lifted higher up, i think u wanna do that before u fire.

[MrRussianterror]

@nolifemerc yes, it can go either 4 , 6 or 10 foot high and also fires 3 x .50 caliber bullets every second.

[said210884]

@nolifemerc but its a anti-air turret/bunker you can only aim to the air..

[cofa74]

@nolifemerc the aa guns were aimed up at an angle

[Feedi112]

@nolifemerc It was made by the french....

[47LN81]

I have been there,it was supported by mine fields and machine gun turrents,the lip around gun turrent was made so the explosives would fall into the "ditch" around it.

[XerxesPL]

that would be good in world war I but Germans take this by parathopers from back...

[YPA96]

@XerxesPL lol just land right on top of it and a few satchel charges in the hole and the thingy is gone

[XerxesPL]

@YPA96 IT have enternance on backs so maybe they just clean bunkers from inside, but im not sure, i dont read about this operation.

[47LN81]

@XerxesPL It WW2,And they didn't take it,they went around it,after 39 days they surrendered

[Soundwave3591]

@XerxesPL that's fort Eban Emael, in Belgium. this is in France.

[TuxedoRonny]

@UrbanAbandonment

To be perfectly fair, Fort Hackenberg was built on the Maginot Line in 1929, so I suppose it's neither. Even if it's lumped in with WWII it's still the better half of a century old. So if you say it's almost a century old.... it's almost a hundred years old. I don't see any need to bitch.

[TuxedoRonny]

@UrbanAbandonment

Um... WTF is your problem? WWI *WAS ALMOST 100 YEARS AGO* This is FROM WWI, so... it's almost 100 years old. What, did you think I said the video was 100 years old? Learn to read fool.

[supermorshu]

the french maginot line turret and they put there hands up with that

[TuxedoRonny]

Almost a hundred years and it still works, impressive!
