Walking through the nearby Reichswald Forest, it isn't long before you came across the remains of the German trench system from 1945. On one walk, I found the rusting remains of a Canadian tin helmet. Others would find live ordinance. I remember when 2 German kids were killed near Kleve when they found an old German anti-tank mine
I spent a fair bit of time cycling in the Reichswald - a lovely place & hard to imagine what it must have been like there back in the 1940's...
I too remember seeing remains of dugs-outs etc... never went prodding around too much as we were warned of unexploded ordanance etc. Also of the wild boars which are particularly ferocious when they have young with them
