Focusing on the unique aspect of prisoner exchanges during World War II, the book explores the negotiations between the Third Reich and the communist-led Partisans in Yugoslavia. It highlights the establishment of a neutral zone for regular exchanges, which saved thousands of lives. The analysis reveals how these interactions facilitated secret political discussions, influencing prisoner of war policies and reducing violence in a notoriously brutal conflict. Contrary to some beliefs, the exchanges did not result in collusion against other factions or the Western Allies.
