It's interesting that the Nazi's never took Switzerland. The major difference...even in that period, the Swiss were heavily armed. One story (perhaps just urban legend) is that the leader of the Swiss army was told that they were outnumbered two to one by the Nazis. What are you going to do? His answer...shoot twice and go home. Funny that the Nazis left them alone. Much like Yamamato's comments about invading America, "where there is someone with a gun behind every blade of grass".
They could've easily overran Switzerland.
Germany had no axe to grind with the swiss for a few reasons. One, Switzerland is a majority ethnic German country. Two, the Nazi's needed a friendly country to fence the money and treasures they looted across Europe. Third, the Swiss government was at least mildly pro Nazi...or at least ambivalent towards them. The Swiss got very wealthy doing business with the Nazi's.
The Wehrmacht could've smashed Switzerland in days.
Does anyone remember how this baseball has-been pitcher became popular? He thought he was going to be gang-raped by some purple-haired multi-ethnic lady with a half-dozen kids who all had AIDS on the 7-line in NYC on the way to the game... or something similiar...
From the pic in the link... it looks like the biggest thing about him is his tongue. Bad lap-doggie!
Eww....
Congrats though. Just to show that in America a pretty mannequin associated with sports will always get tongues a-waggin' seriously.
Hint for future reference. If you are looking to have somewhat of a serious conversation, you might not want to start your thread with "John Rocker says"
99% of the people weren't nazi soldiers rounding people up.
The French Resistance was only 100,000 - WAY less than 1% of the population - and were key to the Allies advance through France after the Germans took over. They didn't do that unarmed.
ok you proved your point...John Rocker is an idiot with no understanding of human nature or superior weaponry. Guess his next approach is to say if they only had assault rifles then it wouldn't have happened...
should have, would have, could have...all lead no where at the end of the day.
Looks like Rocker is trying to convince dim witted Americans that civilians actually have a chance against a super power war machine.
This nonsense of grandpas fighting against the SS isn't really about WWII but about modern times.
Prep talk for the wannabe yahoos who are clamoring for a civil war.
Yeah. It's not like a handful of camel jockies with 50 year old Kalashnakovs could hold out against the most powerful military in the world for 10 years.
