    Hiking

    Here, on March 29, 1944, two pilots of the so-called "Great Escape" were executed by the Gestapo.
    The block of stone is the remains of a bridge next to which the two men were shot.
    They were Roger Bushwell (Squadron Leader, 92 Squadron, Royal Air Force) and Bernard Scheidhauer (Sous-Lieutenant, 131 Squadron, French Free Air Force)
