Default Re: Allied Internees in Switzerland

There is a distinction to be made. Allied airmen who entered on Swiss territory unarmed and voluntary called local authorities were interned in hotel rooms , not camps.
Those who were sent to camps were those who were shot down while on Operation (fully armed and with an intruding aircraft). It may seem silly, as the poor guys who were having the hardest time to forceland and survive were neither attacking nor a thread, but the distinction was made.
