Default Re: Allied Internees in Switzerland

Skipper, those entering the country armed and willingly--most of them had no choice--were sent to internment camps. For the most part, they were treated well in these internment camps, generally made to stay in old hotels. If you committed any type of offense--especially attempted escape--they sent you to one of the "punishment camps" which were practially no different than Nazi concentration camps.
