    If you want to see more about the swiss bunker system check out "Why Switzerland Has 374,142 Bunkers (and likely more)" by Johnny Harris. They went hunting for them and captured amazing drone footage. It shows of really well just how insane the bunker systems trully got XD.

And yes in the 1980's Switzerland had 600'000 Active Reserve-Wehrmänner it could mobilize in 24 hours. Today as Germany is bankrupted by the Merkel and now Red Green Hampelman governement who's corrupt Ursula von der Lie has completely destroyed Bundeswehr you have most equipment not working in Germany...some of your tanks had BLACK PAINTED BESEN-STIEHLE instead of machin guns.

That the Swiss have the Nazi Gold is a Mythus from the British-Americans who found the Nazi Gold in Bavaria and split it between London and Washington, thats what Swiss president Ruth Dreyfuss told and proved to US Ambassador Madeline Kunin in the 1980s. and never againt USA tried to Blackmail Switzerland but the liesstill go on. BTW both Madeline Kunin and Ruth Dreyfuss are Jewish, both are Swiss Born as Madeline Kunins Austrian Jew family fled to Switzerland saved by Swiss Police Chief Paul Grueninger, "Righteous Among the Nations" from Switzerland. Grueninger was police saving thousand of Austrian Jews. BTW USA has also stolen Gaddafy's and Saddams Goldreserves as well as Billions in Petrol money from Iraq, Syria and Lbya and now also from Ukraine.

    10:55 I would be lying if I said that's not true. But it was single individuals, mostly banksters, who did it. Towards the end of the war, my grandparents hid a small Jewish family in their basement from the Nazis. That was very risky back then. ...and we're not that rich. Everything is expensive, food, rent, insurance, houses, everything. In relation to foreign countries we are an expensive country and therefore we are "rich". Our wealth is our nature, the mountains, lakes and rivers.

    10:55 The Nazis did not store their gold in Switzerland. This would have been considered treason if ever one found out. Moreover, there was no reason for the Nazis to store their gold or money in Switzerland; why should they? They were convinced they would win the war.
    As a conclusions, there wasn't any gold from Nazis to keep for the Swiss after the war, neither.
    Both of these stipulations are common misconceptions.
    What is correct, however, is that the Nazis sold their gold to Swiss banks against foreign currencies, which they needed to pay for goods they imported, since they couldn't pay with their German currency due to the high inflation.

    Switzerland exists only because the representatives of Europe needed a buffer zone between them after the fall of Napoleon. So the cantons, each of which sent its own representative (Switzerland as a country did not exist yet), were allowed to continue to exist on the condition of maintaining strict neutrality. This was in 1815.
    The cantons then allied to form a federal state in 1848 and declared the first federal constitution adopted on September 12, 1848. Consequently, the correct birthday of Switzerland is September 12 and not the hair-pulling August 1.
    And yes, we are allowed to take our Army rifle home, but we have to turn in the ammunition.

    The secret airbase is wildly exaggerated, to be fair. It exists, but the location is openly available information (the only thing classified as "secret" is the infrastructure of the cavern itself), and you still need a regular runway to launch a Hornet, no launching it from the mountain. A classified number of Hornets can be stored and maintained under the mountain, but they're still launched from a runway.

    Yes, preatty much every critical infrastructure in switzerland was rigged with explosives or was build in a way that it could easily be destroyed if needed. But that isn't the case since about a decade anymore. Explosives got or are being dismanteled.
    If I remember correctly though, I think there was a bridge constructed on the swiss border to germany, where germany payed for about half the bridge, and we still unknowingly put explosives in it.

    Switzerland has a militia army and every adult Swiss has to join the Army by law. The Army is a part of Swiss identity and a real people's army. In peace time the army is responsible for emergency management, protection of state visitors, enviroment protection, the defense minister is also responsible for sport.
    A militia army is not suited for conquering - it can only defend. Therefore in wartime the Swiss parliament elects ONE general to fullfill the order of the constitution: to protect the country "whatever it takes". In the moment, the General is eleceted, he becomes only full spectrum competence in everything, that war may concern. The General rules the Marshall law. In the moment after election all politicans "are out of the game". Imo that is the most important difference to all other countries I know. There is one person, who is responsible for the people and its soldiers. Every Swiss is a citizen in uniform or a soldier and citizen. That can be an advantage oder a disadvantage. In WWI General Ulrich Wille collaborated with the Germans, with the Deutsche Reich and some politicans and citizens were accused as spys and traitors by General Wille, because they decovered him as a collaborator with the Germans. In WWII the Swiss Parliament eleceted Henri Guisan as General, a Person from the French part of Switzerland. Militarily General Guisan may not have been the best choice, but for the cohesion of the society he was the best - in propaganda and in supply of the people with food. Switzerland is a very frugal landscape and agriculture is not easy in all the mountains. Food could no longer be imported from Germany, France and Italy. So every squaremeter were part of the "Anbauschlacht" (cultivation battle). Farmers, Ranchers, House Owners, Tenants - every person was obliged to cultivate as much food as possible an his land, garden, cellar and so on. The acquisition of food was strickly reglementated - per person, not per fortune. So even the poors starved not to death. In that times the milita army and the alpes were the DNA of Switzerland as a nation. That has changed now. Most politicans will drive Switzerland in the EU and in NATO. If that happens, Switzerland does no longer existst as a nation. Than we are ruled by people as Ursula von der Leyen and General Cavoli in Bruxelles.

      not true, Switzerland was a banking powerhouse well before ww2. The country was the first in continental Europe to completely transition to an industrialized economy (to the point that about half the wage-earning people in the country were female by 1890 already). Its cities have been major economic powerhouses for centuries.

      @@potatius6421 this is true, however much of the countryside was rather poor. Very poor indeed. So it's really a tale of "two countries" as I like to put it.
      Moreover, a lot of the gold/nazi loot controversy has to do with rightful owners not being able to be traced and identified (or alive at all) since the Nazis destroyed basically all evidence so yeah, us Swiss didn't "hand out" any of the assets which plenty of people, and countries, were out to get. So it's a little more nuanced than is often being made believe. But that isn't as attention grabbing so here we are... A world of fake news, halftruths, ideology and make believe....

      Austria and Russia had no role in the destruction of the "Helvetic republic". If anything, they lost the war in 1899 (especially the battles for Zürich), making Switzerland a French territory. All good things though, it gave the Swiss a constitution and made it an actual country through strife.
