Never knew about this. Damn Switzerland, not cool

They also were a significant weapons manufacturer and supplier of the Germans. They were not really neutral in reality.

The Swiss have been war profiteers for most of their history. Yes, they are "neutral", but that doesn't mean they are good.

Interesting how this sort of fuckery makes me literally prefer modern Germany over Switzerland.

I guess we're all in fucked up countries to some degree. Maybe we should all band together and get rid of them?
