Switzerland was neutral in WW II. The movies might have believe you to believe the citizens were more sympathetic to the Allies. If there had been a secret election to decide, which way do you believe Switzerland would have chosen?

They would have remained neutral. It was also important for the Nazis to have a nearby location where their gold reserves and wealth could be stored much more safely.Switzerland also a long history of neutrality and multiculturism. There was during the war a referendum on whether they should go with Germany and this failed miserably. Most Swiss even back then were liberal at thought. Also, they probably were the only nation that could militarily deter Hitler [considering they are allowed to carry guns in their homes]

That is wax lyrical in your ears sunshine they could get a diet of porridge and that is not on a cruise on the QE2 - smile because they could look fantastic on candid camera and there is a guy called Ernest Hoscede who is not really a patron of the performing arts and Madame Monet died laughing and who said she was drinking smoothies anyway in 1879 she was happy and that was nowhere near a ring tone on a mobile phone on a rainy day in Giverny in Lower Normandy- have some fun and get sentimental - I suggest you get used to the possibility as I suggest you both put your welly boots on - ok - it may rain cats and dogs bytes on your cellular phone and sweet justice won't ring tone your chimes please be sensible - here - don't ask silly questions about secret elections - there is something seriously funny - are you that worried about those silly people on Shepey Island there is a very good impressionist called Claude Oscar Monet - and if they don't listen some minority may find themselves - very happy because Ernest Hoscede is listening to their demp-tone cowboy ring tones and Ernest Hoscede is not looking to see if everyone is wearing a bling earing - ok - my advise to you - this is only a suggestion - ok - put your welly boots on and listen to Classic FM in the early hours of the morning - keep smiling - be happy - it is over to you - try and jolly things along and good luck because the sun has got a hat on and the title is in the hands of Edward's scissor hands - ok - have a great festival of fun - have a nice day - there is a frog on the telephone and Rick Wakeman is into being aquainted with all the kings horses and the female Stars on Classic FM - holy guacamole - what is this sunshine saying - ok - you have a nice day .

Well in WW2 history it is also known that Switzerland handed over pilots that crashed in Germany controlled areas and that tried to get over the boarder to neutral soil due to the constant pressure being put on them by the Nazis and their ever growing threat of them invading everything arround them.i belive they would have chosen the Nazis to keep their country from ruin in Germany finally dominated.

I suspect they would have chosen to remain neutral.
They didn't invent their neutral status without reasons or recently. They were the world's banker. They still pretty much are. No one is going to attack them, nor will they get involved in anyone else's aggression.

They seemed happy enough to make money on both sides.
