Had Nazi Germany invaded Switzerland, they wouldn't just be fighting against a military, but a fully armed populace as well.
There's an old saying, "Switzerland doesn't have an army. Switzerland is an army."

It should not understated that there are secret bunkers all over the country that could house every man, woman, and child. Switzerland in their own homeland is basically undefeatable. Good luck conquering them, because they’ve been preparing for an invasion constantly since Napoleon.
