5. Switzerland was too important of a transportation artery to bomb, as the tunnels through the Alps provided a vital link to Italy.
Had a good friend who was a Swiss engineer. He said every bridge an tunnel in Switzerland is designed to be blown up in less than 24 hours notice. Explosives are within a half hour, and the civil defense does regular drills.

They're prepared to fight from the mountains for years.
