On the 65th anniversary of the end of World War II, the memorial plaque was unveiled at the Kniepass. It recalls – together with the three-colored rainbow painted on the rock – the arrival of the 42nd Infantry Division of the US Army, the so-called Rainbow Division, in Salzburg, which was under the command of Harry J. Collins.
