It is a little-known fact that during WWII over 160 American aircraft sought refuge in neutral Switzerland. Rumors spread that most of these airmen had defected to Switzerland because they had enough of the war and wanted to spend the rest of the war in safety. In fact, the contrary is true. After over ten years of research, the authors feel that only about 5-10 percent of the crews deliberately came to Switzerland. Additionally, a large number of American airmen escaped from Swiss Internee camps, making their way back to England or to Italy. Of the 1740 internees and evadees, 947 tried to escape; of these 184 attempts failed and the men were put into the tough Wauwilermoos prison camp. Seller Inventory # 13847
