I have spent a few months in that area as a child, when learning German
. It was 1979-1980, and I used to go to a family living in Glattbach, just outside the city.
I remember walking in the woods there and seeing dozens of bomb craters, enormous ones.
Some filled with water, most dry and with trees growing inside.
But...wow, were they big.
So, the father told me that these were the witnesses of lots of bomb raids against the strategically important railways intersection in Aschaffenburg, which is less than 3 km from the town as the bird flies.
