Re: Switzerland Accidentally Invades Liechtenstein
The Swiss should spend less time on the watch and direct their attention to a compass.

I guess if they had run into trouble they could have pretended by making "POW" and "BAM BAM" noises.

"It's not like they stormed over here with attack helicopters or something," he said.
That was in the original plans; but the Swiss Secretary of Defense (Olaf Tweedlemirer), who fills in part time when business is slow at the Swiss watch factory, forgot that two important ingredients for any successful military invasion is ammunition and gas.

Liechtenstein, which has about 34,000 inhabitants and is slightly smaller than Washington DC, doesn't have an army.
You don't need one when confronted with this. Certainly would scare the crap out of me and send me scurrying back over the border.

I bet Germany said the same thing about Poland in '39.

Neighboring Liechtenstein would have probably made Swiss cheese of them anyway.

Re: Switzerland Accidentally Invades Liechtenstein
How did they march just over a mile in without crossing the border on the opposite side of the country and "invading" the next country?
