Численность армии и число реально проходящих службу в Швейцарии не совпадают
>Если Швейцария смогла напрячься и не помереть - почему СССР должен был помереть от куда более низкого напряжения? Причём способы экономического управления СССР как раз весьма располагали к моб. мерам, в отличие от.
The total strength of the Swiss Army is about 500,000 men and half that number have constantly been under arms since the war began. There were two general mobilizations of the whole army, the first in September, 1939, and the second in May, 1940. In order that civil life can go on almost normally, those who are in the most important(from a military standpoint) positions are granted leaves for a few months and then return to the colors that others can be released. Older men were demobilized already in June, 1940.
