According to a recent newspaper clipping sent by CHARLES EVERETT (2187-1992), two-thirds of all Swiss armament exports between 1940 and 1944.

The delivery of those armaments to Germany had a value at that time of around 600 million Francs. Approximately 150 million Francs in armaments also went to Italy. Due to pressure from the Allies, the exports were stopped at the end of 1944.

The 500-page document also indicates the Swiss position in relationship to the position of the winning allied powers. The subject concerning gold that had been stolen by the Nazis and deposited in Swiss accounts was also discussed in this document. A couple years ago, an agreement was reached with the Swiss banks.

A member of the Swiss treaty agreement commission from back then, Professor William Rappard, spoke about the agreement back then as being very favorable to the Swiss but that negative consequences could also come from this treaty. The other parties at that time were so taken by the favorable terms that the idea of any negative consequences was hardly ever mentioned.
