A navy being "overstretched" has nothing to do with it. There's no way that the Germans could land forces over there. You need landing craft or some sort to invade, which the Germans did not have. The one overseas attack they did, on Norway, they sailed in on ships.

Even ignoring that, radar and planes. Impossible for the Brits to not notice. An invasion force is more or less obvious - especially when it has to sail right by your coastline to go somewhere. Wouldn't even have made it to Ireland before being destroyed by the Brits.

And, for that matter, impossible for them to get overstretched in the first place.

Invade Switzerland? Good luck. First sign of one, they blow the passes. Means that any "invasion" has to be done over mountains, or through paradrops. Again, good luck. Even if they get a pass before the Swiss blow it, there is countless more inside Switzerland itself to blow. Even barring that, the Swiss are as well, or maybe even better, armed than the US - with more training. Good luck keeping them down. Would make Yugoslavia in WII look easy.

Would never try, as it's basically impossible to win it. The fact it screws up their banks, even worse.
