The skirmish at Sövde was an aerial incident in 1944 where a German Messerschmitt Me 410 and an American Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress accidentally flew into Swedish airspace.

After several warning shots, the incident evolved into a short-lived confrontation around Sövde between the Swedish air defence and the German and American planes.

Upon entering Swedish airspace near Simrishamn, a Luftwaffe Messerschmitt Me 410 faced numerous warning shots by Swedish anti-aircraft artillery, although the German plane would ignore the shots making the Swedes declare luftfara (air hazard) at 11:52.

[2] An hour later, a damaged USAAF Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress commanded by pilot Frank C. Ammann also entered Swedish airspace.

[3][5] After the crash landing Ammann left the plane to run for a farm house, then tried return to the aircraft but was prevented to do so down by an off-duty Home Guard soldier.
