Predators and Prey

back to Aussie foxying!
Another story from my grandfather, who was a child during WW2:

One day he was collecting firewood, when he saw a shot down airplane. The German border wasn't that far away. The crew jumped out with parachutes, and the pilot, most likely knowing that he was already in Switzerland, made sure, that the plane will crash in a field and not in buildings before jumping out too.
After the crash, the crew mounted an American flag (and probably a white one too to show that they weren't meant to be there). Some Swiss soldiers picked them up later, helping care for the wounded.

Did you hear about when a German town avoided being bombed because it pretend it was in Switzerland? XD

That's an interesting story.

I've heard something like that, yeah ^^

On the other way round, Americans bombed the Swiss City of Schaffhausen, thinking it was German.
This was 1944.
The people ignored the airplane-sirens, as they didn't expect being bombed.
This lead to 40 death and 270 injured.

The US Government paid 4 Million USD alone for this incident.
 

Skittles

Queen of FaF. Empress of Fløøf.
On a brighter note, dealings with Swiss authorities were instrumental to saving many many Jews



*hugs tight* indeed man, indeed.

Now, if only someone would do something about the injustices of the rule of Queen @Skittles ;)
Injustice!? I have no idea what you are referring to..

I see. I am pretty sure there is alot of predator abuse under the so called "Emperor's" rule.

I love how FAF basically has a parliament where each representative has some type of royal title...

Queen, King, Emperor.
