    Switzerland was also bombed several times by the allies. They claimed it was by accident every time, but really it was because Switzerland was trading with the axis powers, meaning swiss factories were benefiting the axis and had to be destroyed. This was a big reason why the swiss started shooting down planes during the war.

    Haha at the start that is totally relatable! There was a kid at my school and he would get sooooo mad! I was tall and he was small so when he got angry at me he would try to strangle me and I could just…strangle him back or I would take his hands of my neck. That’s the story of my life.

    "a bunch of bunkers" bruuuh, we literally digged into the Alps until it looks like emmental, we made enormous defenses like "la ligne de défense de la promenthouse", we made bunkers look like basic villas or barns, we even fucking stuffed bridges and wholes sides of mountains with explosives which might still be there in certain places, really invading Switzerland was a doomed operation, unless you want to have half a mountain descending on you hahaha, also I don't think they thought about that but it was also theorically possible to trigger tsunamis on the big lakes, just drop half a mountain in it 😅

    just so you know: im swiss. and did you also know that in ww2 yes swiss wanned to let the germans come to Zurich, Bern, geneva, but one officer in zurich said he wont let the germans take zurich, and so he build lots of bunkers at uetliberg. the other swiss begged him to stop this, but he didnt, and the bunkers are still there in the forests.

  • @dragonremo9
    @dragonremo9 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Well, this seems mainly true but it is important to know what switzerland did before the worldwars which is basically the exact opposite: They sold their soldiers to the other nations to fight eachother. The soldiers where actually so good it was crucial for the other nations to have them in their army. After a while it was decided to left out swiss soldiers because it made wars unbalanced. So they where forbidden to take part in wars and switzerland got used to it.
    This makes switzerland even more badass imo

    During ww1 the Kaiser summoned the Swiss ambassador and asked him how many men Switzerland had mobilised , the ambassador said 250.000 the Kaiser asked what would the Swiss do if he sent 500.000 to invade , the ambassador replied " we'd shoot twice and go home" . Nobody knows what the Kaiser said next ,

    Nice Video, sadly you didn't go into detail how the situation during the world wars in Switzerland self was. The Swiss people didn't really have a great time either during WW2 as an example. Many people lost a lot of money and almost the whole country was starving. Only some people, the banks and big corporations got really lucky and rich during that time.

    Neutrality is the century-old, traditional strategy of Switzerland. Originally renowned as having the best mercenaries in the world, they eventually discovered how to make even bigger profits out of war. Some would call that damn smart, others would give it another, less appreciative, name.
