World War Two / Re: Which POW camps WW2

Thanks so much for checking Sonia. As you say I will keep trying, it has been one of those things that have really bothered me. I couldn't understand why the Swiss would fire on him - I still can't get it. I recently found a reference to a book in which Munchenbuchsee was mentioned and the person who was reporting his experiences seems to suggest that he could come and go at will, so I am mystified at why other soldiers couldn't. Maybe this person was trying to pass themselves off as a civilian. In case you are interested the book is 'The Avro Manchester: The Legend Behind the Lancaster' https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=pAIkDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT479&dq=munchenbuchsee+the+lancaster&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj1mOih7cHdAhUMLcAKHdJjDXcQ6AEIKTAA#v=onepage&q=munchenbuchsee%20the%20lancaster&f=false
