During World War II, 152 Allied airmen were rescued. They were hidden in the nose and beard of the Germans who stored their ammunition in the forest. A feat of resistance fighters and smugglers who operated in the utmost discretion and which allowed the airmen to leave safely with the arrival of the first soldiers of the landing in our region.
