Esta es la traducción que han puesto en un foro yankee sobre un reportaje que apareció en un periódico local austríaco:
and here´s my translation (sorry for mistakes)of the newspaper article with Henry Mohr´s story:
"I flew a little too low over the lake, as my propeller blades touched the water ", described Henry Mohr. At that time, the beginning of May 1945, the US pilot ditched into the trusting lake and was saved by a "German captain". Monday afternoon (June 13th 2005) a crane lifted Henry Mohr´s P-47 Thunderbolt from the water. The enterprise „Sandy air“ from Zirl (Austrian town) had brought the fighter-bomber again to the surface after a nearly three-year preparation - a spectacular action, which was filmed exclusively for „ATV PLUS“ and „SPIEGEL – TV“. At expense of the German TV transmitters also James V. Powers came to Gmünden. That today 84-year-old US citizen, who lives in the pension Pichler, was the pilot watching the crash flying behind Henry Mohr.
"it was our last sortie in the Second World War in Europe", describes Powers. The Thunderbolts started out from Kitzingen airfield (Germany). "suddenly in front of us a breath-taking view opened itself“, the pilot told. "between the high mountains a wonderful long lake extended ." The Americans flew over the „POW camp" (KZ Ebensee) and flew very low along over the water surface, as the "incomprehensible happened“ – Mohr´s propeller touched the water, the blades were bent and the US pilot had to ditch. The at that time 30-year-old opened the canopy, when the heavy engine pulled the airplane verticallly into the depth. Henry Mohr was floating in the ice-cold water trying desperately to take off his heavy boots, "my nose and my mouth were full from water, when I decided: I give up, I drown." But then the survival impulse caught him: "I fought for my life." His head disappeared up to six times under water, told the "German captain", who drove out on the lake with a „Zille“(small shallow boat) and who saved the US pilot. After having been pampered up in a field hospital it, a little later the today 90-year-old returned to Kitzingen.

Así que el avión se estrelló el solo en el lago, por un error del piloto. Logró salir del avión y ser salvado por un oficial alemán.
Este es el periódico donde está al noticia, si alguien entiende algo...
