WORLDS LARGEST FORTRESS MODLIN - FROM NAPOLEON TO HITLER

There are few fortresses in history which have begun construction under Napoleon and fought heroically still standing through both World wars and served still through the cold war. And it is a must see for anybody interested in History, it is one of the largest fortresses in the world, and still sports the longest building in Europe. Along with those people now trying to restore this amazing place I am going to try to begin to show you this fantastic place and walk the 9 km of halls. But one episode can never be enough, especially as the fort has 19 experimental forts surrounding it those I will show you in later episodes. Napoleons could hardly have imagined and only hoped for what the fort became after he was vanquished 100 years later Ludendorff and a determined German army against the largest best fortress in Europe, with over 100.000 well armed soldiers. And during WW2 1939 the fortress was one of the last to surrender, and again under German command in 1944 it kept going. You may have seen my previous episode about Ludendorf's battle for Modlin in 1915, but now its time to see the enormous fort itself. And a special thanks to the guys at Fortress Modlin for taking the time and those of you out there who helped with the photos and information. So join me we are going to Modlin.
