Re: SWISS NEUTRALITY
" A Bf 110G-4b of 5./NJG 5 that lost an engine after pursuing a Lancaster into Swiss airspace and was forced to land on Dubendorf airfield, near Zurich, on April 28, 1944. The Bf 110 was equipped with FuG 220 Lichtenstein SN 2 radar, and "Schrage Musik" guns, both of which the Germans were keen not to let the Allies examine. An agreement was reached that Switzerland would be permitted to buy 12 Messerchmitt Bf 109G-6 fighters from Germany, if the aircraft was burned in the presence of German embassy officials. This was duly done, but not before the Allies had extracted all the info about the devices"
