It reveals how thousands of Indian soldiers who had joined Britain in the fight against fascism swapped their oaths :
-to the British king for others to Adolf Hitler -
an astonishing tale of loyalty, despair and betrayal that threatened to rock British rule in India, known as the Raj.

The story the German officers told their interrogators began in Berlin on 3 April 1941.
This was the date that the left-wing Indian revolutionary leader, Subhas Chandra Bose, arrived in the German capital.

Bose, who had been arrested 11 times by the British in India, had fled the Raj with one mission in mind.
That was to seek Hitler's help in pushing the British out of India !!
He wanted 500 volunteers who would be trained in Germany and then parachuted into India.
Everyone raised their hands. Thousands of us volunteered

By August 1942, Bose's recruitment drive got fully into swing.
Mass ceremonies were held in which dozens of Indian POWs joined in mass oaths of allegiance to Adolf Hitler.

Finally, instead of driving the British from India :
the Free India Legion were themselves driven from France and then Germany.
Their German military translator at the time was Private Rudolf Hartog, who is now 91 or dead :-[

Entire govt machinery was used to snoop on Subhas Chandra Bose till his death: Chandra Kumar Bose, Netaji's grandnephew
