Switzerland - The new axis faction

What you talking about man? Everyone knows how famous the Swiss Navy is. Having served in the Swiss Navy from the age of 16, I can definitely attest to the ferocity of its maritime feats.

I'd say in modern times, only the US navy is better equipped. In the 1940's, Britain and the US were the only nations who had a better Navy (maybe Japan, but it'd be a close fought thing)

The Swiss didn't know how to fight, otherwise they would've defeated Germany on their own. You keep praising the Swiss and their Army in WW2, but you fail to understand that the Swiss would've gotten wrecked by Germany if they tried to fight them. The only reason Germany didn't crush Switzerland in WW2 was because there was nothing to crush; they had no worthwhile Army to fight with, no air force, no Navy....nothing.

And here is the English wikipedia article on the Swiss Airforce including a chapter on its role during WWII: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Swiss_Air_Force

in June 1940. In six days of aerial battles, eleven German aircraft were downed, with a loss of two Swiss aircraft and three airmen killed.

Fun Fact: In WWII the entire country of Switzerland was basically just one giant underground fortress.

The Red Army was disorganized and not very capable at the beginning of the war. That´s what happens if you are paranoid and kill all your generals.
