Yep, had the Third Reich invaded Switzerland it would've been doubtful even one German occupier would've escaped the fate of being on the wrong end of a sniper's bullet.

This past weekend the History Channel had a program on about Hitler's henchmen and they discussed this planned invasion. Hitler was pushing hard for an invasion of Switzerland and plans were drawn up for the assault, but all of Hitler's top generals were against the plan. They knew what would happen if they tried to invade the Swiss Alps. Keitel, who was the ultimate yes-man, was even against this plan and managed to dissuade Hitler from ordering the invasion.
