Country between Germany and Switzerland

Answer 1

I will try to answer this one... but history is complicated, so do not expect any easy answer, right?

So, Switzerland was founded in 1291 as coalition or defence agreement against the earls of Habsburg (you can call them Austrians what is mainly not that wrong - with links to Germany). This means Swiss troops (having their name and the flag from one of the founder states called Schwyz) and Habsburg were at war against each other... another important date was 1815, when the big nations in Europe forced Switzerland to become neutral after the Napoleon's age.

So now... the idea of the not-so-nice bigger brother Germany/Austria was still alive in 1939, when there was the rumour Germany would soon start a big war... the dealing of Swiss bankers with obscure rich Germans (probably with Jewish gold) or the deals between Swiss industry and Germany (and USA, etc.) were a bit later in time. On the first days Swiss government sent half a million of soldiers to guard the border and dressed up its new airforce (notably with french and especially German fighters - but bought one year earlier due to an international meeting). Switzerland had still the right of free speech and besides the BBC (England) on of the most famous free radio stations in Europe.

Due to the mentionned ambiguity Swiss citizens did never really consider an alliance with Germany - not because they knew already what Nazis were doing, but just because they did not like each other that much. And clashes between Swiss airforce and German luftwaffe (surprisingly nice for the Swiss) did of course not change the opinion. From this time until today Swiss bridges and tunnels are armed with dynamite to be blown up in the case of an invasion - and that was exactly what Germany intended to do at the time... or according to Hitler, when Germany would have beaten Russia... what never happened. So the war continued a far away from Switzerland - now including the Swiss bankers and industry's doing, but not changing Hitlers plans. Nevertheless Swiss would certainly have lost against German troops... it's a fact they were standing at the border... and nobody knows how much Germany would have had to pay for entering - especially as there was the somewhat crazy "reduced Switzerland" defence plan meaning a complete withdrawal of all troops into alpine area. The rest is unknown... Hitler was never able to "hunt the little pig when returning from Russia"...
