On 3 August 1944, German fighter aircraft shot down a United States bomber on the northern side of the Hohen Munde. The pilot and the gunner lost their lives. In the summer of 2000, Keith M. Bullock and Gerd Leitner installed a memorial plaque below the Hohen Munde at the crossroads on the path above the Leutascher Schlucht along the route through the Gaistal. The crash site is located on the opposite rock face.
