One thing that I have often wondered about is how did Switzerland import food and materials from overseas in WW2? Since during most of the war they were surrounded by Germany and Germany's allies, how did their imports make it to the country without being seized by either side? Also as the Western Allies stepped up attacks on the German control transportation system, how did the trains to Switzerland avoid being attacked?
One of the reasons for these questions is that I have read that the Swiss provide Germany with electricity and manufactured goods during the war. Since they have limited natural resources how did they import what was need to feed their workers, maintain their electric grid, and supply their factories?
Thank you
