More than 73% of Australia's identified old-growth forests are in formal or informal nature conservation reserves. Almost half of Australia's identified old-growth forest is in NSW, mostly on public land. Of the 23 million hectares (57 million acres) of forest in Australia assessed for their old-growth status, 5 million hectares (12 million acres) (22%) is classified as old-growth. If there are specific locations you are wondering about, write me directly by e-mail I've hiked over most of the main battlefield areas of both WW1 and WW2 within France, Germany, Belgium, Holland, and Luxembourg.In 2008, only a relatively small area (15%) of Australia's forests (mostly tall, wet forests) had been assessed for old-growth values. Nearby Bamberg was completely unscathed and is a wonderful place to visit. Nuremberg itself was heavily bombed but saw little street fighting since it was captured during the closing days of the war. Of course, Nuremberg is nowhere near the Black Forest inasmuch as it is north of Munich. I know because I explored this particular area last October. Teams of disposal squads (largely POWs) did this cleanup work in the years immediately after the war. Even there you will find nothing remaining. Perhaps he/she is confusing this site with the Hurtgen Forest, near Aachen, far to the north. There are some relics (well-preserved) in Belgium from the Battle of the Bulge. These sites were heavily picked over immediately after the war. There are no WW2 relics in the Black Forest. Your friend is either mistaken or is putting you on.
