I'd really like to hear about the results of that reading, too.
I have half a dozen maps, from all three countries, showing a tripoint
border on the eastern end of the lake, and a couple that show
completed border lines actually dividing it - lower left to CH, a pie
slice at LR to A and the rest to D.

Re: dictatorships - Although not a dictatorship, even the US captures
fleeing Americans on the Canadian side of their common border - so I
don't attribute such activity to dictatorships only. The Swiss Navy
on the Constance must know how far out from shore it can go to help
fleeing swimmers before it could be accused of violating the
sovereignty of its neighbors. If the lake is truly a condo, then it
could patrol the north side while the Germans patrolled the south
half, and in WWII, I don't believe that happened.
