Silence is complicity
Switzerland's history
Silence. We weren’t silent. There were literally Nazi parades in the german speaking part of Switzerland. A survey at the beginning of the war showed the swiss german speaking population tended to support the Nazis while the swiss french speaking tended to support France.
Why would they comment?
They were perfectly content to continue trading with the Nazis, after all.
Positively neutral until its negative
Wondering if Famously Neutral Switzerland suffered the same "expressions of shock" throughout their history...
Or if this is something new...
Not looking for an actual answer... Just noting that neutrality is Switzerland's historical stance so why should this be any surprise to these "over 50 diplomats". 🤷♂️
