On August 3, 1944, an American bomber was shot down by German fighter aircraft several meters east of the chapel in Wildermieming. The crew managed to escape via parachute. In the summer of 2000, Keith M. Bullock and Gerd Leitner installed a memorial plaque in the Chapel of Saint Rochus (Pestkapelle) in Wildermieming.
