In the nearby hamlet of Le Harcholet, a war crime was committed by Waffen SS forces under the command of Oberscharfuhrer Max Kessler. Three members of an SAS infiltration team were burnt alive whilst bound by German forces in an abandoned barn. The three soldiers had been caught attempting to cross the River Meurthe whilst trying to reach the Allied lines on the 10th October 1944 after the termination of Operation Loyton, an attempt to inspire a French uprising in the Vosges to pave the way for an offensive by General Patton's Seventh Army.
