French Soldiers Escape Toward Swiss Frontier
About 13 French soldiers fled German occupied France and crossed into Switzerland near the Metz area, aided by a so called underground railway. They traveled mainly at night over about 120 miles, surrendered arms to Swiss patrols, and cited a split company and leadership by a captain and lieutenant. Authorities note thousands of French prisoners and others moving toward unoccupied zones or Swiss ports while German efforts focus on stopping escapes and potential channel port attacks.
