From June 19 to 20, 1940, Switzerland hosted on its neutral soil 42,600 French and Polish soldiers, mostly belonging to the 45th army corps commanded by General Daille, driven to its western border by the push of the Wehrmacht. From June 1940 to February 1941, elements of the 45th Army Corps as well as the 7th Algerian Spahis Regiment will be interned in Switzerland before being repatriated to non-occupied, so-called "free" France. Polish soldiers will remain interned until 1945.
