What does everyone think about the prospect of the Swiss being neutral in WWII? I know it's ASB imagining a tiny country like Switzerland being able to stay neutral in a war where it was surrounded by an aggressive, brutal, and occupying power, but for the sake of argument...
What would the war have been like if the Germans hadn't had thousands of soldiers tied down in the Swiss Alps battling continued Swiss resistance, even after cities like Zurich were captured? We all know that the Swiss reduits became one of the most celebrated defensive guerrilla/resistance movements in history, so I'm partial to imagining that if the Germans hadn't invaded Switzerland in early 1941 they would have been a lot more successful in the war.
