In 1944, antifascist doctors with the Centrale Sanitaire Suisse joined Yugoslav resistance against the Nazis. This page of Swiss history is totally forgotten today. According to the official history books, Switzerland was totally neutral, so there were no Nazis (or very few) in our lovely land… and thus no anti-nazis! This support of the partisans was the response of the Swiss Left to the medical missions of Swiss colonel Eugen Bircher. With aid from banks and the Swiss Red Cross, he organized four missions to the Eastern front as part of Hitler's "crusade" against "bolshevism". Sixty years on, this film gives the floor to three of these doctors, as well as to the inhabitants of ex-Yugoslavia they treated.
