Swiss bf109s shooting down Germans....

[Reaper90]

This was posted in a thread in the wishlist forum, but figured some may not see it there and would enjoy reading it.... so here is a bit from a nice book I recently finished....

I've read the same story about the Swiss 109's shooting down Bf110's, I'll scan and post the story tonight.

For those who have never read of the Swiss bf109s, here's an interesting chapter out of "Messerschmitt Bf109 AT WAR" by Armand van Ishoven...











Pg 90 on the bottom slide details the combat between the Germans and the Swiss, I have circled that section.

if the text is a little small try zooming in with the magnifying glass in the lower right hand corner of your browser window...

I don't know what browser you're using that has the magnifying glass but CTRL + and CTRL - should work fine across all browsers.

Intresting story how Swiss got the 109s.  Most people do not relized that Hitler had plans to invade Swisserland, operation Tannenbaun (spelling) or Operation Green.
