Monument 517e Parachutiste

Located on the wall of the former station, this commemorative plaque commemorates the courage and sacrifice of a battalion of paratroopers. For two days, Allied armoured vehicles and infantry attempted to retake the village of Manhay. On the night of 26-27 December 1944, under bombardment, it would only take a few hours for these fighters to remove the German soldiers from the ruins of Manhay. Many of them lost their lives here.
