The Allies dropped weapons and ammunition with parachutes on the vast field (plaine Balaine) during the Second World War. The nightly supplies were announced via coded messages on the BBC. There was heavy fighting here with the Germans in 1944.

Plaine Baleine refers to a historic, wooded area known as a parachute landing zone during World War II. The name "La Baleine" (meaning "the whale" in French) was the code word for this landing zone for weapons, ammunition, and equipment, located in the wooded area between the municipalities of Vyle-Tharoul, Modave, and Pailhe. The area therefore primarily has historical significance linked to the resistance movement and the resistance against the occupying forces in 1944. It is surrounded by forests and tranquil nature, reminiscent of the natural environment around Modave.
