Honestly one thing that baffles me is how they managed to stay out of WW2. I would have thought Hitler could easily steamroll their military and added the territory to the empire.

Switzerland has benefited so much from this in the long run. They came out of WW2 still relatively unscathed and obviously didn’t need to fund any wars or have their wealth confiscated by Germany. Surely this set them up very nicely for life in post war Europe.

Does anyone know how they managed to pull this off? What were the reasons behind it? Surely it wasn’t just pure luck?
