The owner of the place we rented said that complete parts of forests are left untouched because of the amount of scrapnel in the wood.

I think the latest pics you posted explain it well enough.
My Uncle wore the patch at the bottom left of that monument . As did a very good friend of mine who died last spring.
And another old man at the grocery store a couple weeks ago who once was young was wearing a worn black vets cap with THIRD ARMY in front , a staff sgts. patch and campaign names on the sides. I approached and thanked him as I always do those who served.
God bless them.
If you are referring to the field - just the feeling I get looking at it knowing what went on around there. I have no special knowledge of it.
