Just wanted to involve you all in the plans for filming and research this year. Since we are all in it together and I need to begin to finalize the plans for this year.

One of the parts of the aftermath of war is the rebuilding, some places never came back and had simply been erased. The 1000 year old city of Kustrin was one, Here stood one of the final battles of WW2, holding the last bridges before the Russians assault on Berlin. A desperate 3 month battle took place here, decimated the old Star-fort and castle inside, the entire town was obliterated. I am going to share the events of the battle and take you through the amazing ruins of the city and the fort today, and through the old castle tunnels and basements. And follow the Red Army's advance onto the Seelow heights where we visit Zhukov's observation post for that battle. this is in the truest sense a Lost battlefield.

The largest underground factory in the world was Central Works Dora Mittelbau in Nordhausen. This was where the rocket production moved after Peenemunde had been bombed. Security and labor controlled by the SS, it was the place where many hopes were placed, and General Kammler in control managed to get the factory production running in record speed. But there is more to the story then just rockets, the SS was constructing far more around the mountains, some of which is still unaccounted for, There are hidden tunnel entrances leading in other directions and far larger plans were made for the complex. I will take you through the last month of the rocket offensive, Kammler's frantic activities and the Central Works and camp. And the mountains where secrets are hiding. And I will try and tie a larger picture together. Ill be with you on the chat, and if you like we can jump live after. And a lot of original video and photos from the camp Please like and follow it helps and much more history is coming every week.

Sometimes you come across truly amazing places, this one because nobody managed to destroy it during its 150 years. It was constructed after the Franco Prussian war in 1871 but upgraded several times until WW1. And something strange was planned under the fort, we are going to take a look in the hidden tunnels too. It was taken after a short fight in 1940, and abandoned again in 1944, returned to the French Army who guarded it from intruders ever since. A small group of volunteers have made a deal with the French army to slowly restore and bring the fort back to life. Roger Cook and I get to tour the fort as the first outsiders with a camera documenting it, by a really cool guy and a cute dog. This clearly comes under the heading of this you have to see.

Schwalbe V was one more of General Kammlers tunnel systems, built under the Geilberg program. The Berga camp was located not far from Jonastal and the SIII, it was to be a large synthetic oil manufacturing plant under the command of the Kammler staff. 18 large tunnels were dug into the mountain side of this small German city, but this was different, there is still today speculations about the circumstances regarding the destruction of the 18th tunnel. And who did it, but that is not all, the tunnel was also built by GI's captured at the battle of the bulge. Join me as I look through the site and show you the original images from that time and place. And of course squeeze myself into those detonated remaining tunnels.

One of the largest secret projects under joint command of the SS and the SIII under General Kammler took place in and around the Jonastal Valley in central Germany. It involved enormous underground tunnels, bunkers and vertical missile silos, and testing of nuclear bombs. Over 30 thousands of prisoners were excavating tunnels in the valley but that is only the top of the iceberg. Hidden in the mountains valleys and under the nearby towns are tunnels, research and connecting tunnels, the extent of this operation is still unknown. At the center of these munitions plants and weapons testing facilities was the huge proving grounds where according to GRU reports and many eyewitnesses several nuclear bombs were tested. I will try to present the picture for you as I am my fellow historians take you through the towns and fields describing what was there and what is hiding underground. And still today strange things happens there, spies and cover-ups. I suggest if you have not seen them yet, watch my previous episodes from Jonastal this may be the last history defying secret place of the war.

Towards the end of 1944 one remarkable jet fighter was sped from development into production in less than 5 month, made of wood and to be constructed in a amazing Austrian water park. And it worked. Besides telling the real story of this amazing wooden jet fighter that crowned several worlds first, in actuality one of the finest jet planes of the war. One only slowed by infighting within the Reich. We are going to an amazing underground factory, parts of the planes built there still remains, and I found a lot more than I expected, something more mysterious seems to be going on there. and it if right on General Kammler's neighborhood outside Vienna, not far from Bergkristall and Quarz. To begin with the site have numerous coverups, and it was ordered constructed long before the HE162 had even been proposed. So we are going to try and answer the many questions, and fortunately for us the owner is an amazing Lady who is just as curious about what happened during the war. I will show you all the war time photos that exist of the underground factory. with the construction benches and planes still there. At the end I will cover the stories of the wooden fighters of WW2, and last I will show you a very special gun camera video I found you have to see. I never to click teasers, but the hair on my neck stands up still when I see it. Please like and follow it helps and much more history is coming every week.

After the last episodes of Special projects where we have visited the heavy crossbow sites, a lot of questions have arisen, both yours and mine. So on Sunday Roger Cook will join us live and begin to piece together what was and what could have been. During the war some of the largest bunkers and structures were constructed in order to launch or fire the 3 main Wunder weapons of the 3rd Reich. But do we know everything there is to know about these, is what we are told today is established history really the full story. After visiting these sites and read the Allied post action report from the sites themselves, it appears there are a lot more guessing then facts. Roger will join me in trying to sort these out. And take your questions

Following in the footsteps of Major Saunders in 1944 I am going over the real history behind the largest bunkers ever built and their purpose. As stated by Saunders report it was certainly not as clear to him as we are told today. And it leads to a lot of interesting questions about these huge constructions that I will take you through. But also on the German side of the battle what caused these to be constructed in the first place, in the face of allied air operations, and constant bombings. Was operation Crossbow a failure that Hitler had calculated on? Did the Germans have a bigger plan with it, was there a tie in to the large rocket bunkers and more sinister research in Germany. Also Ill cover how the SS eventually took over the rocket programs and the infighting that slowed this project too. Also we will meet with the Mayor of Siracourt who is eager to share the history of the area and is working with the local villages and La Coupole to do just that and we may all be able to help him.

IN December 1944 SS General Hans Kammler himself WAS present and ordered firing to begin towards Allied lines. This is the history of the V3 gun at Lampaden in Germany, and the read of the Units diary as it relates to the V3 gun (HDP) and Kammlers involvement. But it is a fascinating story of how this gun concept changed hands over 170 years, and how the same SS General continues to show up whenever there is special weapons and projects on the table in the third Reich. Please see the previous full V3 gun episode for more context and visits to the important locations of the multi chamber super gun.

One of military history's great fascinations must be that of the big gun, and none were bigger then the V3 multi chamber gun, developed back in 1850 but never made functional until December 1944 when SS General Hans Kammler himself present ordered firing to begin towards Allied lines. But that is not where the story of the super-gun ended, nor where it began. In this special projects episode I will visit the huge underground instillation in Calais, and the location in Germany from where the gun fired its first shots in anger. Also given the guns WW2 designer was the same as the create of the Röchling shell we visit one of the Belgian forts where it was secretly tested early in the war. To understand the true potential of the London Gun you have to see the damage the Röchling shell could do And the story of the super gun does not end along with the second world war, it is actually still ongoing and Ill give you a little postscript of the guns possibly future. But it is a fascinating story of how this gun concept changed hands over 170 years, and how the same SS General continues to show up whenever there is special weapons and projects on the table in the third Reich.

Thought about the air vent a quick thought

One of the very largest German constructions during the second world war was the Blockhaus, an amazing structure, and we have been told it was for safeguarding and launching V2 rockets from. However when studying the war time reports and the post action allied report something begins to change that picture. When you then line up the story of its use as we are told today with the drawings and the reports a even stranger picture begins to unfold. Before I stumbled onto what may be the real story I too simply thought I knew what this was all about no question. Well now I have questions and I have all the reports and statements and they are all inconclusive, the only thing I know now is that we have not been told the full picture and the story we know today cant be correct. Join me as I go through this huge place and cover the reports and see what you think at the end. This was one of my favorite deep dives into an event I thought I knew only to learn something new. All the original reports and photos and documents used are to be found on my website, www.lostbattlefields.com in the members area, please join us there and follow the debate.

It was late in the War before the British begun to suspect what the German rocket programs actually were, and later still before the urgently began to formulate a plan on how to destroy or counter these new weapons. We obtained the original war time Operation Crossbow report AND the subsequent post war research paper as allied inspectors set foot inside the huge German special bunkers designed to either launch these weapons and projectiles, or as the reports stated "other larger unknown weapons" The records show a clear discrepancy between what we are told today and what they saw at the time. Also the German programs themselves have since been questioned due to the speed they developed and implemented their rockets and jets. ' So over the next episodes I will cover the special launch sites and the development of the Rockets and the V3 gun. And ask the questions raised in these reports. This first episode will cover the parallel development of the 2 main rocket weapons, and show you the full war time training materials on how these were launched and how their launching sites changed design. Finally we will visit one of the small V1 launch sites which became so much more dangerous to the allies than the enormous bunkers did. Join me for the journey into the documents, the rockets and the questions.

And these stories are easy to share in the schools classrooms I present to you Walter J Will

The largest headquarters complex built for Hitler was in France, it was a huge complex covering 90 square KM. It was state of the art and the pinnacle of military construction of the time. It was not destroyed and still remains mostly idle in the forest, however for decades it was actively used by NATO and the French military. I take you through the insides large bunkers, and the room where Hitler had his famous July 16th meetings here. And some of the bunkers were just abandoned, and a few restored to wartime look. Join me as I tour the complex and share its story.

3 of the most significant historical events of the 21st Century still shrouded in a veil of coverups and official obfuscation. I am to happy to have a long conversation with two of the brilliant historians who studied these events, along with their intelligence involvements and the ramifications s for the world of these events. this became an absolutely amazing exchange of history and events, with analysis between the 3 of us, and I am happy this we will do again. It is time smart people analyze history and current events properly. Even if we never got the the specific details we set out to talk about. And join me on Lostbattlefields.com and become a member so you can access all my research and files. Or Patrron to we can keep the show going

Finally I can take you through the entire tunnel system B9 Quarz in Austria not far from Bergkristall, this is the largest of the underground complexes built by Fiebinger and Kammler during the War. We made it inside and covered every accessible area of the tunnels, they are fortunately still in good shape and full of artifacts and gives us a good idea of how the German factories were set up. The huge underground rail station is still intact as are the machine rooms and practically all of the original tunnels. This is extremely important historically, so we were glad to be able to properly and methodically document the system. one never knows what the authorities may do to destroy these like they have done in so many others in Austria. join us for the "short" one hr exploration, you can join us at www.Lostbattlefield.com for the full 3 and half hr excavation with all the details. For any WW2 historian and those who have followed my series the last Nazi secret this is the best representation of what they were capable of during the war, so join us.
