wow interesting video, I think the tone of your voice captivated me as well you sound like you enjoy this, I also enjoy understand about ww2 from a german perspective, Im not a nazi but as soon as you question why germany did what it did and why did the germans stab germany in the back towards the end of ww1 you are labeled as such.
One thing you got to remember about ww2.. There are always two sides to a story and the allies did as bad as they did , no bones about that... its true
THANK YOU FOR SHARING, BRINGS BACK MEMORIES WHEN I WAS A KID WE USED TO GO AROUND THOSE AREAS AND GOING THROUGH THE UNDERGROUND HOSPITAL WAS VERY UNSETTLING....
A relative of mine lives on the island and was gardening, when digging, they fell down a very deep hole and it turned out to be this hospital, thats when it was opened to the public. They owned some of it for a spell and sent many items to the imperial war museum, including german rifles wrapped in wax paper, ammunition and so on . I was told somewhere in its vast tunnels, it links with the church tower as a lookout point. Clever seen as the germans knew the british would never bomb a church
Thanks for making this video Mr B. I got into St Saviour's Tunnel in 1974, before it was made into a museum. Still quite a bit of stuff lying around - bits of leather equipment etc, and still quite well preserved.
@arado10 Nice one. It looked to me through the gates in the valley end when I did this video that there was a load of gas mask containers, very rotted though.
Yes, like I say there are others around, some were started and did not get lined with concrete. Thats not including all the bunkers and gun batteries. One called Batterie Mirus covered half a mile square and had four 30.5cm guns. Each gun emplacement had an accomodation block which has about 15 rooms the size of half an average house each. They had a large radar here, their own telephone exchange, electric generation plants. When they left in 1945 they left all their equipment behind.
I think this is best preserved Nazi tunnel. Why wont you check out the tunnels underneath Peden Barracks, Wertheim?
