Re: SWISS NEUTRALITY
I always liked reading about the little undeclared war between the Luftwaffe and the Swiss Air Force.
"After the Swiss shot down a few German planes in June 1940, Luftwaffe bombers deliberately flew into Swiss territory with an escort of Messerschmitt Me-110s on June 8, meaning to punish the Swiss-only to get the worst of the ensuing engagement from determined Swiss pilots flying German-built Messerschmitt Me-109Es."
