Switzerland goes to war!

Everybody thought Switzerland was all peaceful and neutral, but they've recently revealed their plans for world conquest. In an unexpected move the Swiss, using their high-tech pocketknives as well as conventional weapons, have invaded Lichtenstein. The Swiss, and the puppet government they've installed in Lichtenstein are covering the incident up by claiming it was an accident. Sure. I'll bet they've got their eye on France next.

It's a funny story, but Switzerland being a neutral nation is a myth. They actively helped the Nazis with the Holocaust.

I heard they were secretly on our side...

Perhaps it might have been a French/German Swiss thing?

Too slow DCD. There was a thread on this yesterday. I'd find, but I'm kinda tired and lazy at the moment.

(standing on your feet for 12 hours a day campaigning in a student union elections and being looked at as if you're the scum the earth kinda does that to you)

... I wasn't even doing it for myself >.<

And any real reason why they should have instead broke their neutrality the other way and helped the Allies? And yes they were neutral, the Germans asked them to wash their money and help run the finances they did so. On the other hand did they allow the Germans to use their country to transport goods, troops or other.

Also the despite small french and italian minorities, Switzerland's majority speaks German and are culturally very close to the Austrian/German culture and lifestyle. So you have a Nazi officer who speaks your native tongue, and comes from a Bavarian village just a few miles from your village on the border and kindly asks you a favor and will know what you like and your weakspots. And then you have a burly British gentlemen or American who cannot speak a word of German and also demands a favor. Who do you think the Swiss will give preferential treatment in their offer of services?

You need more than a 170 troopers to invade a sovereign country, but then again, Liechtenstein has no army :eek: . I guess Liechtenstein relies on home front militias as a defense (low cost & efficient). For people that get confused with Switzerland’s involvement in WW II, aside Swiss banks collaborating with the Nazi regime, Switzerland was not active in that war. In fact, Switzerland had war strategies in case Germany did decided to attack.

Are we going to see you blathering about Netherlands ball bearings being used by Germany during WWII as well? Because I suggest you take a look at IBMs record before you do.

I mean, who could forget the famous Swiss death camps or Kristallnacth Lite held in Bern?

Classic first post.

And yeah, DCD, I beat you to it yesterday--the thread was titled "Invasion Europe!" and the posters had a lot more fun with it than yours seem to be having. Sorry.

That's weird, but cool.

After 1815, they completely stopped involving themselves in war. The only thing they had in common with the Germans are Messerschmitt Bf 109s.

Ah. The old 'When all else fails, blame the Jews' gambit. Good one. I know you're being sarcastic.

Or Henry Ford (sending money to Hitler and being anti-Semitic), or Bush's grandfather (Prescott Bush was a financier for Nazis) in America. America has its own crooks but the deference is that American crooks are now giants and can’t be reckoned with.

How in the heck do 170 people march into a neighboring country and not realize it until they're a mile in?

It must be a PLOT!!!!! :eek:

Mountains and lax borders.

I mean, Lichtenstein is one of only two doubly landlocked countries. That is, it is landlocked and surrounded by other landlocked countries (Austria and Switzerland). Can some one name th other for a giant cookie?

Andorra. It is landlocked between Spain and France. A small country of 468 square kilometers with a population of 71,000.

Damn, the "town" that I live in is about 50 square kilometers with a population of 107,000.

It's not doubly landlocked. I don't know the answer either, but Andorra doesn't fit the description.

Doubly landlocked is landlocked between other landlocked ones. Spain/France obviously have coastline.

The Czech Republic touches Germany, which has access to the sea.

The only other is Uzbekistan. Although the Caspian Sea throws a wrench in it.
