Yes, but I think all the world would enjoy uniting behind a war against the Swiss.
You mean that the Swiss, either government or public, would even consider harboring a guy who just 5 years earlier publically said that the world will remember him as "the Butcher of the Swiss"?
Somehow the board seems to think that, just because the Swiss had the opportunity of refusing to commit national suicide (1940-44) - contrary to many others - they had to LIKE the Nazis.
Well, their overwhelming majority didn't, even if it seems to be a big surprise to Ameriteens.
Hitler is more likely to get asylum in USA than in Switzerland.
No, I don't mean that.
My statement was that the world unite if given an opportunity to invade Switzerland if Hitler were to be given asylum. My post was intended to be a humorous comment that played on the stereotype that the Swiss are disliked by many for, among other reason, being financial mercenaries and
humorless. I sought to be humorous by exaggeration--that is implying that other nations dislike of the Swiss is so great and universal that they would leap at any opportunity to make war on Swiss.
This is obviously not true. Other nations do not dislike the Swiss so much that they are not looking for (relatively minor) reasons to wage war on the Swiss. Were this so, all the many nations that over the years that have been robbed of billions of tax revenues by the self-serving Swiss banking laws would have turned Switzerland in smoldering wasteland to repay the Swiss for encouraging tax fraud.

(Again, an over the top statement, using sarcasm and exaggeration to make to make a point.)
The next time I attempt to make a humorous post, I shall use an emoticon smilie if it will lessen your confusion and help you understand the implied attempt at humor as I did above.

BTW, you aren't Swiss, are you?

(My ancestors of Swiss extraction generally tended to have a good sense of humor, so that stereotype apparently isn't universal.)
Anyway, if you don't think that Switzerland would have taken in Hitler and that is the basis of your complaint, then you should lodge your complaint with the individual who posed the question rather than sith me for being a smart-ass. Explain in depth about how Hitler finding asuylum among the cantons of Helvetia is ASB. I add, I think that the Swiss would have not taken in Hitler, though for different reasons than you briefly put forth.
If your complaint with my post is that you don't like nationalistic stereotypes, then I suggest you don't use terms such as "Ameriteens." It undercuts your argument against such stereotypes.

Besides, it's no skin off my nose, as the term doesn't apply to me.
If you object to my post because you don't like smart-asses, de gustibus non disputandum est.
Now, back to speculating about the Swiss national character.
There was actualy a discussion about this in the federal council, when the war endend. The swiss law stated that the asylum could be denied if there were crimes commited by the person and the expected punshment was not disproportionate (e.g. death sentence for a theft).
The main point of the discussion was if persons who just odered crimes (but not commited them themselves) should also be denied asylum, or rather wether the expected punishment (death sentence) was apropriate, for this. The conclusion was, that if the crimes ordered were inhuman against the civil population (unmenschlich gegen die Zivilbevölkerung) they were so grave, that even the command to commit them was so bad, that death sentence was appropriate and thus the persons would be handed over.
Kalan, thank you for bringing this discussion to light. This seems to be a very reasonable decision. Was the discussion based on the case at hand, the possibility of Hitler seeking asylum, or did the discussion arise from an actual situaton, such another war criminal seeking asylum? Or was it the federal council discussing the law as a general principle, as the possibility of the war criminals seeking asylum was very at the end of the war, rather than because of specific example of a war criminal seeking asylum?
