Switzerland was surrounded by Nazi Germany and
Fascist Italy which together would have had an easy
time invading Switzerland... 200mio vs 6mio ...
So the country was kind of forced to sell stuff/do business with
the Germans to avoid pure and simple anexation,
which should not be taken as en exuse for the fact
that these activities were indeed not very ethical.
But for those who have researched the subject, the Swiss
also kept both eyes shut on allied spying activities
against Germany originating from its territory.
More then that they also supplied inteligence and
information to the allies on German military equipment
they managed to obtain. Lots of information on the
BF109G was provided this way to the British and Russians.
It was a period of time during which it was very difficult
for the Swiss to truly stay neutral.
Why do you think that the allies kept quiet for 50 years
on their dealings with the Swiss on what they knew...
cause the Swiss and the allies had some form of understanding
which benefited both for many years.
Remind you, Sweden had the same problems and also helped
the allies with intelligence. ( on V1 rocket )
Regards,
Coolknight
