Not particularly, at least in the realm of "what am I going to spend limited vacation time on". Just not something I am interested in. Farmers finding UXO is pretty much old news to me, I regularly listen to the BBC, it seems some urban center being evacuated because of such is at least a once a month occurrence. TBH, it is about as interesting as a construction crew hitting a water main.
As I'm looking ahead to Germany next year (non biking trip), war sites (beyond maybe the Berlin Wall) are pretty much off my radar. The Nordschliefe and Templehof airport turned park are far more interesting ways to waste time, to me, than spending my day looking at buildings that once had military significance.
