This review is from: Secret Channel To Berlin: The Masson-Schellenberg Connection And Swiss Intelligence In World War II (Hardcover)
Sub-Title: The Masson-Schellenberg Connection and Swiss Intelligence in WW II Being neutral during World War II, Switzerland became a haven for spies of all powers. The United States assigned Allen Dulles as their chief spy master. Allen Dulles was later to become head of the CIA.
Being neutral also did not mean that the Swiss were safe from Germany. This book reports on the actions of the Swiss intelligence services during WW II, and particularily on the communications channel between the head of Swiss Intelligence and General Schellenberg of German SS Foreign Intelligence.
One interesting story was about Germany's Case Switzerland, the planned invasion of Switzerland. At one time in 1943 it appeared that this plan was under serious discussion in Germany and the Swiss Army went on heightened alert.
Another of the things that I find amazing about this book is that it is, in part, based on previously unknown American documents. It makes you wonder just what other unknown American documents exist.
