I meant books that detailed Hitlers intention to invade Switzerland.

I notice that you use term 'detailed' as opposed to 'mentioned.'

I must've read every biography of Hitler

Please forgive me if I doubt it.

Quote:

and a heap of World War II books and never come across anything detailing his intention to invade Switzerland.

I have a 'heap' of WWII books on my floor right now, 'WWII Aircraft' (vols. I, II & III), 'Encyclopedia of German Tanks of WWII,' 'British & American Tanks of WWII,' 'U.S. Submarines in World War II' and 'Island Hopping in the Pacific' - nothing detailing it in that pile either. 'Detailing' wasn't necessary for the Swiss to be aware of his intentions, simply reading or hearing his speeches and being aware of maps of the Third Reich were all that were needed.

Quote:

But they did turn away tens of thousands of refugees and jews.

I am not disputing that, perhaps you didn't read this:

*Later in the war Switzerland curtailed the entry of refugees.

Besides, that is not the point of this discussion so I will refrain from commenting on your next post. The topic of the thread is 'The Swiss and their Guns.'

No problem prosgeo, I was just curious if any of this info was in any history book except the one by the NRA lawyer. I'll keep an eye out for it in future.
