Nightfighter at Fliegerhorst Hadersleben, Denmark, september 1945?
 
At the end of september, 1945, the armed forces in Sweden put up a wish list of desirable german weapons and military equipment to find and buy. It was sent out through the Swedish intelligence bureau, C-byrån, to the "men in the field". In a paper from September 26th they specifically ask for a "nattjaktplan med ekoradioanläggning", which we can translate as a night fighter with radar equipment. According to this paper this nightfighter was to be found at the Fliegerhorst Hadersleben, or Skrydstrup Flyveplads close to the german border.

As far as I know Sweden never got it, but, my question is, what nightfighter could that possibly have been, still to be found at this Fliegerhorst in the summer of 1945. A Ju 88...?

Thanks Junker for that information - so we may with some certainty assume that was the night fighter type Sweden wanted - but obviously never got...
