In H.) Frz‘mco-Gcr'nan War of '1870, however, the shoe was on the other foot. for during that campaign the French prisoners reached the ex- traordinary total of 21.508 officers and 702,048 men. Of these nearly 256,000 were the Paris garrison, and over 90,000 represented the French troops disarzned and interned in Switzerland.
