The Darkest Alliance of WWII | Switzerland & Nazi Germany

Description

World War II history documentary exploring Switzerland's neutrality and the hidden financial connections with Hitler's Germany. Discover the untold truth about Swiss bank gold, WWII alliances, and European history in this full documentary.

Switzerland is officially remembered as an island of peace during World War II, protected by its centuries-old tradition of neutrality. But as Europe was ravaged by conflict, this safety was built upon a deeply problematic reality. From serving as the primary clearinghouse for plunder in Swiss National Banks to providing vital logistical support to the Axis powers, the true cost of survival was staggering.

In this episode of Historium, we dive deep into the vault of history to uncover the controversial relationship between Switzerland and The Third Reich. We explore the tragic closure of the Alpine borders to refugees, the findings of the Bergier Commission, and why neutrality is not always the same as innocence.
