3C+IP of 6./NJG 4, Fown by Feldwebel Günther Konzack, Coulommiers/France, 2 May 1944
In an effort to ward off RAF attacks against trains and railway infrastructure in and around Paris, the 6th Stafeln was on this day relocated from St. Dizier to Coulommiers, east of Paris. During the transfer flight however, bad weather disorientated one crew and the pilot finally landed in neutral Switzerland at the Basel-Birsfelden air force base. Luckily, Fw. Konzack put the machine down on the part of the aifield planted with beans that bombarded the fuselage during the landing. According to Bordfunker Uffz. Ruprecht, it sounded just like impacts from machine gun bullets. The bean stalks did however manage to slow down the speed of the heavy machine and it stopped just in front of a hangar. This aircraft was equipped with an array of radar and radio antennas. These including the combined FuG 202 Lichtenstein B/C search and FuG 227 passive radar combination, and those for the radio communication equipment which consisted of a FuG X with TZG 10 and FuG 16 ZE VHF transceiver.
