This is the definitive history, as researched by an independent commission in Switzerland: https://www.uek.ch/en/index.htm https://www.uek.ch/en/index.htm Making accusations and finding biased sources is easy. Living with a bully next door is not.

Switzerland went above and beyond "accomodating a bully next door": they enabled its rearmament of Germany post-WW1, circumventing the Versailles Treaty; and they sheltered the Nazi networks (e.g. François Genoud) and money post-WW2, helping the neo-nazi rise in Europe and the juntas in South America - again, Germany wasn't in a position to bully the Swiss. Switzerland and the Swiss banks made absolutely no effort to come clean after 1945 until they were forced by international pressure 50 years (!) later. And until 1997 and a famous documentary, L'Honneur perdu de la Suisse - which was censored until 2006 - the Swiss had absolutely no memory of their real role during WWII. And see how they treated Paul Gruninger after the war: https://www.rts.ch/info/suisse/12882741-paul-gruninger-traitre-a-la-patrie-puis-heros.html https://www.rts.ch/info/suisse/12882741-paul-gruninger-trait...

"Making accusations and finding biased sources is easy" The report says exactly what I'm saying, > "send back Jews to be killed" From the report: "The measures agreed in August 1938 to turn back unwanted immigrants were implemented ruthlessly; [..] It even happened that border guards struck refugees with the butts of their rifles to bar them from crossing the border" > "sell weapons to the Nazis" From the report: By far the most arms were sold to Germany and Italy, e.g. page 200 > "buy stolen Jewish gold and stolen gold from occupied countries" From the report: "During the Second World War, Switzerland was the most important market for gold from the territories controlled by the Third Reich. Almost four-fifths of the Reichsbank’s gold shipments abroad were arranged via Switzerland."
