After being shot down by German fighter aircraft, an American aircraft crashed on August 3, 1944, in the Brendlkar in the Gaistal. Two crew members lost their lives. In the summer of 2000, Keith M. Bullock and Gerd Leitner placed a memorial plaque directly at the crash site, on the small wrought-iron cross, which stands about 400 meters east of the Brendlsees, on the little-used path leading to the pass between the Igelsköpfen.
