I guess they have either missed their target completely or it was an emergency release.

Maybe August is right, but otherwise there are so many locations today in Germany were you don't see any Traces anymore of their former use as e.g. Feldflugplatz, Flak emplacements or Military Supply Areas.

Normally when Bombs were emergency released they were not armed and just dumped out of the plane.

@Schroeder when you have the Grid for Google Earth available, there is a possibility to track a former military use of the area.
