Hi Gang,
just found this 1970`s vintage film:

about the Swiss Army engaged in combat with an aggressor (from the east?). Note the use of disguised Hetzer/G13 and Piranha 6x6
as OPFOR.

thanks , very interesting video.

I saw the remains of a dozen G-13s in a field when I visited Switzerland in '81.

Another Swiss "propaganda" film, called "Wehrhafte Schweiz" or "Switzerland - able to put up a fight". Probably from the 1960`s. After a brief introduction, one can see images of infantry and mountain infantry, Panzer 51 (AMX-13), Panzer 55 (Centurion), towed artillery, Hunter and Vampire fighter-bombers. Of note is the use of flametrowers (!) in urban combat.
