The military prowess of the Swiss seems destined to be forever exaggerated.
Where are these 250,000 losss going to come from? Its hard to see it descending into a second Finland where Red Army forces are just sent to freeze to death for no purpose and that I think is a requirement for such a bodycount. If the Swiss go to ground, its hard to see them killing or wounding that many people before starvation renders them a non-existent force. If they stand and fight they shall be crushed.
I don't know about the foreign situation, but if its 1945 Red Army vs the Swiss, the Soviets just bring up enough artillery to blow any real opposition apart.
