Default swiss gms

If these vehicles have never been sighted in Swiss service before and do not show up in official lists of purchases and stocks, I would not rule out the possibility that GMCs and other vehicles were among the 900 vehicles brought over by the fleeing French armed forces.

In the book Corps d'Armee Campagne 1 I read that 38000 troops fled to Switzerland in 1940, among which Spahis and a Polish division. Though I admit there is presently no evidence of GMC ACK 101 trucks in French service, I would certainly look into it. The French were more than experimenting with GMC and other US brands in 1940. Large orders were placed. Maybe Davis can shed some light on this connection?
