Prisoner of the Swiss by Daniel Culler

Prisoner of the Swiss by Daniel Culler

After surviving an air crash, US airman Dan Culler was imprisoned and tortured in a Swiss camp during WWII. Perceived as a benign, neutral country, for some unfortunate aircrew, it proved anything but. In a camp run by a sadistic Nazi, Culler was subjected to horrific treatment that was hushed up by the authorities.

This is an horrific story, one that explodes the myth of Switzerland being a peaceful country anxious not to become involved in local wars..Dire conditions, dreadful inhuman treatment - my view of the Swiss has nosedived as a result of reading this book! * Books Monthly *
The book is printed to Casemate's usual high standard with relevant illustrations and runs to 120 pages. * Army Rumour Service *
...incredible account of suffering and survival. * Recollections of World War II *
