The RAF FK803 (Hudson type) with 4 crew members and 3 Belgian secret agents was shot down by an American fighter. The pilot managed to save himself with his parachute. The six graves are those of the other 3 crew members plus the 3 secret agents, who died in the fire of the accident. This place commemorates the madness of war.

In the middle of the forest lies the wreck of a WWII military aircraft. A memorial honoring the courage of war pilots has been erected here.
