Swiss Confederation
Some of you are quite aware of Swiss infrastructure I imagine, it is of course more than just an Army. As a confederation of Cantons established in 1291 they invested in themselves, their industries , and their mutual protection. Their famous banking industry was started with income derived from outsourcing soldiers and still maintains close ties within the Swiss Army not to mention guarding the Pope to this day. National service is still a part of Swiss culture although to a lesser degree today. The Swiss Redoubt became a part of the Swiss defensive strategy especially as WWII approached, it in addition to making it convenient for Germany not to invade the defensive infrastructure and geography of the Alps is very much why Switzerland maintained it's neutrality.
I spent sometime as a boy in Switzerland and was exposed to an indigenous way of life that many never believed. It has been both a little nostalgic and startling to explore the information you can now find.
Warning some of these videos are long and if you tap around enough you may just mess with your German.
