Nice photo Seth, it took me a while to recognize that it's MAC 1931.

Summa in 1941, before winter war there was a thick forest and a village here.

Today is 78 years since the BF-108 Taifun D-NFAW that was carrying plans for Fall Gelb started the Mechelen Incident when it crash landed in neutral Belgium.



The Mechelen Incident is typically citied as one of the driving factors that lead Hitler to agree to the revised plan that called for the main German attack through the Ardennes. It’s also citied as part of the reason that the French and British commanders were reinforced of their idea that the Germans would have their main force attack through Belgium as a repeat of the Schlieffen Plan of 1914.

It’s also was citied as part of the reason that the French and British commanders were reinforced of their idea that the Germans would have their main force attack through Belgium as a repeat of the Schlieffen Plan of 1914.  In actuality, modern research has shown that the delays and plan changes previously tied to the Mechelen Incident had, in fact, already occured and were being finalized beforehand, with OKW and OKH making a series of amendments and plan alterations before and after the Incident.  Thus, the Mechelen Incident more affected Allied planning than any actual German operational or strategic changes, which were already taking place.
