...you are missing the point. Hitler did not choose to invade Switzerland because there were x number of pop guns under x number of beds after all your average Panzer division is unlikely to be fazed by a lightly armed militia.

Seriously after sweeping through the low countries and France, North Africa, Norway and then opening a second front against the Soviet Union it is beyond reason that anyone would argue Hitler was wary against invading a landlocked country (which he surrounded) because the average Swiss citizen was armed. The whole thing would have kicked off at breakfast and be over by lunch.
