Sorry I was not able to read you book but it went to archive before I could get to it. Sorry once again. loloyankee60@gmail.com

Having read a couple of books about downed airmen in WWII I thought I had an idea what to expect. But this book still took me by surprise as it happened to take place in Switzerland, and you think neutral country and all that. But in times of war it didn't have the meaning I thought it did, for sure. At least not when it came to our guys getting shot down and going there looking for a safe haven. Cullen was held in a former Swiss resort and after trying to escape as he was duty bound to do, arrested and sent to Wauwilermoos prison where he was treated so horrifically that it's a wonder he even survived it. What I found really shocking was he was mistreated not by the guards, but by other prisoners he was forced to stay in a barracks with. This treatment went on for some time, and before he ever got out of there, he had become a seriously ill man. He'd contracted TB, had painful boils and sores all over his body, his feet were damaged from frostbite, and more, the list was frightening. You would just never believe a story like this would come out of Switzerland compared to ones that ended up overseas on little islands somewhere. Incredible. An ARC was provided by NetGalley for an unbiased review. Thanks for reading.
