SECRET Nazi bunkers have been uncovered near beaches stormed by Allied troops during the D-Day landings in June 1944.
The bunkers were part of the Maisy Battery, a batch of German artillery guns used to defend the Normandy beaches during the invasion.
The complex was discovered in 2006 and excavations continue to turf up new finds.
The bunker discovery will be featured in the season premiere of “Expedition Unknown,” which airs on Discovery Channel today (February 5) at 8pm ET.
“We discovered huge Nazi bunkers that haven’t seen the light of day in 75 years,” Josh Gates of Expedition Unknown told Fox News.
“We were able to dig down and reveal the doors and go inside them – they are frozen in time, there are artefacts inside there.”
The Maisy battery was built two miles from the Omaha and Utah beaches, which were attacked by American troops on D-Day.
It was one of Germany’s largest defensive positions, boasting a total of 14 huge guns, including 150 mm Howitzers.
Smaller 88 mm anti-aitcraft guns and machine gun nests littered the compound, as well as two Renault tanks.
Following the Allied victory, the site was abandoned and its complex of bunkers, trenches and living quarters was gradually overtaken by nature.
It lay untouched for decades until British history expert Gary Sterne unearthed it in 2006 using extensive research of European archives and contemporary maps.
Ongoing excavations have since found a dozen buildings including a radio room, sick bay and kitchens linked by nearly 5,000 feet of tunnels.
For the new study, experts scanned the Maisy Battery with LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology, which uses a laser to measure distances deep beneath the ground.
LiDAR allows experts to search for structures buried below thick layers of dirt or brush.
