The amount of 102,758 Swiss franc was paid in advance but only about half the lmg were delivered and the machine cannons were never delivered before the war ended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After these first sales almost 10 years passed. In January 1952 director Henckel was in Belgrade again. At the time Dragos Jovi\u0107i\u0107 was representative but by common agreement that task was handed over to Banque Yougoslave d\u2019Exportation &amp; de Credit where Jovi\u0107i\u0107 worked. A military mission was planned to visit Copenhagen soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The military delegation visited the DIS factory in February 1953 as promised. The demonstrations were successful and colonel Kritic, engineer Nicolic and engineer Cvetic were suitable impressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dragos Jovi\u0107i\u0107 came to Denmark in 1954. The news he brought were discouraging. The financial situation was not in a good state and he considered it impossible to do further business. Later he got asylum in France and was no longer available as representative for DIS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be continued with the final numbers of exported goods\u2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an earlier blog post I showed a picture of Lieutenant Colonel Troels-Smith representing DIS in Yugoslavia.
