That actually does raise an interesting question. How did swiss defense plans change with the advent of mass helicopter assaults in the 1960s onwards?
Suddenly, you can't count on mountain altitudes as an insta-win anymore and the armaments of alpine redoubts has to change somewhat. |
My Father did his National Service in the Gebirgsgrenadiere in the 70s. Among other things he learnt how to hold up a Btln. with a few good men and their Sturmgewehrs (etc). If you know your mountains you will always have an advantage over the enemy because you are playing on your home turf. The over all strategy remained the same. Resist as long as possible and if the enemy break through then continue the fight as guerillas.
