ditto Avenger, got to it before I could
See CB, the Swiss don't have just an ENTIRE armed population, ya keep thinkin armies and for some reason ya keep forgetting Hitler had his resources pretty well tied up with Russia as well as Britain and then we joined in as well, Hitler did not have unlimited resources ie; planes etc.. he barelly had fuel for his mechanized units, all ya gotta do is crack a book, hitler was overdrawn everywhere adding a country whos entire population is armed AND trained to shoot from infancy is a very heavy drain on already stressed resources, ya might find it intresting that Germany was constantly struggling just to keep soldiers armed with rifles and ammunition, they were using anything that could launch a projectile even old black powder 71/84s were brought back into service in some areas, Hitler was constantly struggling with fuel sources to keep planes in the air and many of Germanies planes were bombed sitting on the ground by allied forces simply because there was no fuel to get em outa harms way......
Now go take a look at Switzerland geographically and ya will discover that just getting there ain't no cake walk even if ya aren't being shot at every mile...... does the name "Swiss alps" ring any bells for ya? they are some very very bad mountains ya gotta be able to get through, planes of the day were sitting ducks tryin to cross the Alps, the other means in was by rail.... which was totally secured by the Swiss, by road ya say? Know what frostbite is? many an infantry man lost toes and feet as a result of it....
And all this while ya got EVERY member of the population takin pot shots at ya from 500+ meters out while you the German infantryman haven't ate more than 2 meals in a week, ya are pretty much frozen solid, low on ammunition........
yea it woulda been real simple, I got one of those German soldiers for a close friend he made that trip twice both times they were turned back just like every other attempt Germany made to try and sneak in the backdoor....
so tell me why is the Soviet union with all their much more advanced technology, there massive numbers got their a$$es handed to em in Afganistan if all ya need is superior air support, ya do know what kinda air superiority the Soviets had over the Afgans right? Why did we get our a$$es handed to us in vietnam? Korea? hell after all we had superior air support in both them cases too .......
ya might wanna actually think or like I mentioned, crack an actual history book before replyin
