English: Swiss Army. Close Combat Gun II "Gustav", prototype, 1944. Tank Museum Thun.

 

 

I am wondering about those two prototypes of a 'Nahkampfkanone" the Swiss built in 1944. Seems something similar as the German "Sturmgeschuetz". Would be interesting to learn some details about - Switzerland was not really famous for its tanks at that time...

 

I remember one of my Grandfather's jokes; when Hitler called the Swiss Genral (we had only one!) and wanted to buy tanks from Switzerland... the reply was:" Only one or all three?"
