Quoted:
The Swiss gave $$ and munitions in exchange for Jewish gold.  Why invade them and screw up a good thing?  The Swiss didn't have oil or other natural resources worth taking and were not strategically located so there really was no point in going in.  


Ding! Ding! Ding!

"of all the neutrals Switzerland has the greatest right distinction...  She has been a Democratic State, standing for freedom in self-defense among her mountains, and in thought, in spite of race, largely on our side."

For about the 12th time in this thread, Hitler WANTED SWITZERLAND.

Doesn't matter if it was worth it or if they had natural resources or strategic value, he wanted it. For all we know he just wanted some good chocolate, but the fact is Hitler wanted Switzerland. Isn't that what this topic is about, btw?

but the GP11 ammo was the only non-corrosive military ammo at the time


Not so, the Swedes were doing it...  I think that they were even doing it pre 1911...

Quoted:
It's quite simple. He didn't have to. There was no need. He had them completely surrounded from his other conquests.  Armed citizens didn't play into any part of the decision not to invade.  Feel free to continue to kid yourself about it though if you wish.  


Could you elaborate on this a little, in the end it all comes down to what you believe in? If an armed populace is not a deterrent and the Swiss being synonymous with the doctrine itself what does that say about your beliefs in on of the most important aspects of the second amendment?


Also Austrian thank you for a very informative post and history lesson.

Didn't you know : Liechtenstein!

ok, ok:

after 1848 (declaration of modern Switzerland) none to speak of.

before 1848: too many to list. There was always some kind of war going on in ol'e Europe.

Why didn't Hitler invade Switzerland?

They would have jacked up his interest rate.
