On August 3, 1944, German fighters shot down an American bomber. It crashed at an altitude of 2,520 meters on the west face of the Wampeter Schrofen. Six crew members died. In the summer of 2000, Keith M. Bullock and Gerd Leitner installed a memorial plaque on the Barbarasteig 200 meters south of the shaft head.
