Valentin Submarine Factory


Bunker Valentin 🇩🇪 The largest submarine bunker in the world
Blitzwinkel

Cool video, the music makes it. Located outside of Bremen, Germany, it is the largest submarine bunker in the world, if your world is Germany. The one in Brest, France, is larger. This one was never finished. If looks like a massive amount of concrete. It took 650,000 yards of concrete to build it. That is enough concrete to pave 13 miles of Interstate Highway. Considering that there are like a zillion miles of Interstate highways, this massive chunk is insignificant. How can that be? The mind works in mysterious ways.

Hi Chuck,

When we were in France in 2005, we visited the Nazi submarine pens at Saint Nazaire: https://www.saint-nazaire-tourisme.uk/explore/discover-the-port/the-submarine-base-of-saint-nazaire/ Apparently, after the war, the French wanted to demolish the pens, but they were so indestructible that it would have been prohibitive, in both money and explosives, to destroy them. So they turned them into a tourist attraction.

Enjoy, and Happy New Year.
