Steven den Beste on the neato-keeno fortifications the Swiss relied upon to keep the Germans from overrunning them...You cannot defend a nation with concrete. You can only defend a nation with men. The fortifications described in this article are no more dangerous than the ones faced by the Americans at Omaha Beach, and in fact are much less dangerous than the ones the Japanese had laced Iwo with; yet both of those fell.
Switzerland wasn't saved by concrete. It was saved by what Americans call a well-armed militia. |
