Why did Hitler honor Switzerland’s neutrality?
In: 24
In addition to what others have said, Switzerland controlled two of the four rail tunnels that passed through the alps. Switzerland had explosive charges set to destroy these tunnels and let everyone know it. These were important logistic links between Germany and Italy. So long as Germany stayed out of Switzerland the Swiss allowed Germany to use these tunnels, though with some restrictions. The Swiss very plausibly threatened to destroy the tunnels if Germany attacked them.
