While reading up on aircombat scenarios for Nightfighting I came across this snippet. When an Me110G-4 equipped with SN-2 force-landed in Switzerland in April 1944 Hitler was prepared to order an SS commando raid, led by Otto Skorzeny, to parachute into the neutral country and destroy the machine. Anyone have any info on the planning for this or interest in taking it further ? |

The Blues Bears put a participation game together based on the idea, we came across very little solid information but the British also considered using commando trained German Jews to try and capture the radar. It would be a really interesting three way scenario with players running the Germans the British and the Swiss. For various reasons we never ran the game but I have all often thought we should.

Nope, but it sounds like a great scenario. |
