I'd asked a few days ago in a thread on Packing.org, "Swiss & Guns", for an attribution on an assertion that in WWII, Swiss colonels had taken a pact to kill any general who dared "surrender" their country to the Germans. The poster, Brian J. Heanue, responded with email pointing to a talk given by author Stephen Halbrook on a 1998 book-signing tour for Target Switzerland: Swiss Armed Neutrality in World War II. Thanks Brian!
