Re: Luftwaffe vs Swedisch

According to Girbing,the facts would have occured shortly (without specifying dates) before the attack on the Tirpiz on 12/11/44.

That day,always according to him,Ehrler and Gayko would have stopped their attacks against two Lancasters who then penetrated Swedisch Territory,in order not to trigger a diplomatic incident such as that occasioned by the "victory" of Gayko previously.

My questions:
1)Was there at that time a Swedisch plane shot down in the region of Kemictober?november?
(what type.....etc.)
2)Have there been any others cases of such misidentification?

Certainly the "victory" was never officially recorder (we understand why)
