I visited Dachau a few years a ago, and didn't notice the lack of birdsong, but there aren't too many trees around.
I have heard similar things about the Western Front. for example Delville Wood seems really quiet, but if you stop and listen there are birds singing.
I think it's just an urban myth - Owen summed it up you hear what you want to hear
