Description

At this location the Messerschmitt Fb 108 Taifun made an emergency landing. On board was a German officer who was to take secret invasion plans to Cologne by train. At a train stop, he met an old acquaintance, who suggested that he take him to Cologne the next day in his small plane. This is against all regulations and orders. However, they lost direction on the way, deviated and had to make an emergency landing. The invasion planned in these documents could not take place.
