Franchesca Quinlin Who was this mysterious individual and what office, if any, did he or she hold? Was this person even Swiss and is this person male or female? Please share your knowledge. If one does a websearch for the name one does NOT get a Swiss leader. I find that odd, don't you? Leader of armed forces: General Henri Guisan (in Switzerland there's only one General, only elected during time of war!).
Political leaders: Mainly the seven members of the Swiss Federal Council, all equivalent, but one elected to politically represent Switzerland for the period of one year,
Philipp Etter (1939), Marcel Pilet-Golaz (1940), Ernst Wetter (1941), Pilipp Etter (1942), Enrico Celio (1943), Walther Stampfli (1944), Eduard von Steiger (1945)... each time together with the six others.
To one of them, Marcel Pilet-Golaz, was attributed a certain sympathy for the German Reich - he was therefore very unpopular. Entering in the Council 1928, he had to withdraw from his office in 1944.
