The Nazis were afraid of the Swiss? Yeah right.
Actually, Hitler referred to Switzerland as the true hedgehog of Europe. The German high command had assembled a plan called "Operation Christmas" to invade Switzerland. They called it off because the cost would be too high.
LOL A few bombing raids would've wiped the Swiss out in those mountains in a hurry.
The mountains would make bombing frighteningly costly for the Krauts because any Swiss with a 20mm would be able to hit most German aircraft.
