Astonishingly polite indeed, compared to them claiming neutrality in WW2, yet:
- shooting dead American soldiers they found inside Switzerland who had escaped from German POW camps
- abusing banking privacy laws to seize bank accounts from murdered Jews (who had been using Swiss banks for a number of years because they saw the writing on the wall), refusing to grant access to surviving relatives
- happily accepting Nazi gold, knowing much of which was melted down jewelry and dental fillings collected from the ashes of human incinerators.
Post WW2, Switzerland was required to return twelve percent of the gold they accepted from the Nazis.
