I know that a possible invasion of Britain by Nazi Germany in WW2 is the topic of debate. But what about Switzerland?
Hitler had been eyeballing Switzerland for ages and planned to invade the country once his mainland enemies were defeated. Apparently, he hated the country for being a decentralized democracy and for its multicultural, multilingual composition - a contrast to Nazi Germany. The original plan was to commence the attack on June 25, 1940 just after France's surrender. For reasons we don't know, the invasion was never carried out.
So let's get to the point of this thread:
1. Why didn't Hitler carry out his planned invasion of Switzerland?
2. What if the invasion went ahead? Would Nazi Germany and their allies have curbstomped Switzerland?
