How did Switzerland manage to remain neutral during the Second World War? Is it that a neutral Switzerland was too useful to Germany? Was it that an ultra-conservative Switzerland was quite capable of following some Nazi policies all by itself and didn't merit invasion? Or was it that with two of the three trans-Alpine transport routes crossing Switzerland, whilever Italy was an ally of Germany and reliant on its support, Switzerland had control of a vital bargaining chip which made it difficult for Germany to threaten it? This book considers these issues, and details German plans for invasion which were never put in place - and just as well, to judge by the planned Swiss response. Recommended beause it answers so many burning questions. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Countless books have been written on the military history of World War II, however astonishingly little information has appeared about the one country that stared the Nazis down and refused to become an accomplice to the horrors of the Third Reich. This book provides an objective, year-by-year account of Switzerland's military role in World War II, including her defensive strategies, details of Nazi invasion plans, and Switzerland's moral, material and humanitarian links to the Allies. Swiss neutrality in World War II has been criticized in recent years, but the country was entirely surrounded by Axis powers and managed, as revealed here, to render considerable assistance to the Allies.
