They also were a significant weapons manufacturer and supplier of the Germans. They were not really neutral in reality.

The Swiss have been war profiteers for most of their history. Yes, they are "neutral", but that doesn't mean they are good.

I guess we're all in fucked up countries to some degree. Maybe we should all band together and get rid of them?
