During WWII, there were plans for a Nazi invasion of Switzerland, which were considered, but never implemented, since the terrain of Switzerland would have made invasion difficult, and there were certain advantages to having a nearby neutral country. AFAIK, the Swiss, in the event of an invasion, planned to abandon the cities and wage guerrilla war in the countryside.

However, what would be the potential consequences of a successful Nazi invasion of Switzerland? Specifically, assuming they manage to successfully occupy the bulk of Switzerland, would they be able to seize the assets of Swiss banks, and would this boost outweigh the costs of invading Switzerland?
