TY - RPRT A1 - Weithmann, Michael T1 - Thomas Bernhard and the air crash on Tettelham in 1944. "It was a spectacle of unrelieved tragedy". N2 - In his autobiographical essay "Ein Kind" (A Child) the Austrian writer Thomas Bernhard (1931-1998)describes the downing of a heavy World War II USAIRFORCE bomber at Tettelham near Traunstein in Upper Bavaria in 1944. The scene of the crash is now headed by a chapel and some reminiscenses of the crews' fate. Although the event is still vivid in the local history, it was not known that Thomas Bernhard had been a keen eyewitness.
