Die Schweiz im Zweiten Weltkrieg

A short video I made showing Switzerland during World War Two.

We have been highly undercredited for our roles in world growth, and we should rightfully be known for everything we've done. We are the longest lasting, and most powerful democracy and milita in the world but the world doesn't know that. Here's my part in teaching the world the importance of Switzerland.

This video was made by me, please don't copyright or steal someone elses work. Have honor in yourself.
Some ideas and inspirations were from this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CruGXKdzpC4 So credit to that maker!

Note: Yes this video shows the "pros" of how Switzerland survived WWII, and I wouldn't be surprised if the government did give money to the Axis and hold their money and god knows what. The information I used was all in print. Books, trustable sites; I made -nothing- up. I am a very proud Swiss and as it stands not many people know anything about Switzerland. I myself have lived in the US for about 8-9 years now and never learned Swiss history in school or anything. Everything I know is self-taught. I've read books on the topic and done reseach just for fun because I care about history, and I care about my country. I welcome any comments but please be aware that this video is educational and ment to show that the Swiss people did unite during those dark times and endured for their survival and that of their, my, nation.

Der Stolz von damals mag verflossen sein, doch in uns allen wissen wir das wir unser schönes Land immer verteidigen werden egal ob gestern oder morgen. In uns allen fliesst das Blut eines Schweizers, eines Eidgenossen und jenes eines Helvetiers. Egal ob meine Zeilen als Rechtsradikal oder Armeefreak betitelt werden in euch weiss jeder das er für sein Land bereit wäre es zu verteidigen. Möge die Schweiz noch lange schön bleiben gruss aus Bern

German General: You only have 500000 men in your army. What would youdo if I invaded wigh 1 million?

Swiss General: Well I suppose every one of my men would have to shoot twice.

Long live General Guisan.

The reality is that Switzerland would fall in the end if all the Allied nations fell. Hitler was spending most of his resources fighting the bigger enemies since he knew they were the one's that could of attacked and sustained a continual fight without exhausting all their resources. Switzerland was not in a position to be a direct threat to Germany so they were left alone.

@jegidorfo

Dem kann ich nur zustimmen und sagen,das ich stolz bin das wir einen General Guisan hatten!!

@cliffin22 Dieser vollkommen inkorrekte Fehler ohnegleichen ist natürlich nicht zu entschuldigen. Es tut mir ehrlich Leid, nicht den hohen Anforderungen Ihrer Exzellenz entsprechen zu können und ich kann mich nur für meine banale Art der Expression entschuldigen.

Nice video! I've always been fascinated with that a tiny portion of Europe remained unoccupied, while the entire continent fell to the Nazis. The German's strength was their mechanized units & they would have been useless in the Swiss Alps. The Luftwaffe would have bombed nothing but mountain rock & the Swiss would have emerged unscathed from their network of underground facilities. The German's only option was infantry fighting uphill & meeting their absolute ruin. They weren't dumb & moved on
