ummm risk? fucking risk? we are talking about a nation that took on France, England, and Russia at the same in the air, land, and at sea at a point when they werent allowed to have a military. not to mention they began the slaughter of millions of people. like i said they were military geniuses but at the end of the day the downfall was hitler and he would have had no qualms about sending thousands of his troops to death if he wanted the swiss...they just werent worth anything
the snipers were not the main cause for not invading...the swiss geography was not right nor was there anything of worth
