[quote=CA renter]How did the Americans save the Swiss from evil?
The Nazis (and many others) avoided Switzerland because of its armed citizenry and superior fighting abilities. They were “neutral,” but it was an *armed* neutrality.[/quote]
I doubt is was superior fighting abilities. Switzerland was surrounded and had no where to run. They had a very good defensive position, Alps. The Germans did plan to attack, but did not due to other priorities. Switzerland provided war supplies to the Germans that would not get bombed by the Americans. The Swiss railways were used by the Germans to move supplies to/from Italy. The Swiss allowed a way to convert gold to usable currency for the Germans.
If Germany war efforts were successful against the Americans and the Allied forces, Switzerland would have been eventually annex or defeated by the Germans.
