I understood the original post as implying that the Swiss were effectively Nazi sympathizers since they turned away people fleeing the Holocaust; the statement is very misleading when stated alone. I mention the US did the same and they are very unlikely to be accused of being Nazi collaborators.

The reason I bring up the context of other countries at the same time period is not to say the actions are admirable, I am providing context of what else was happening at the same time. I think many people don't fully realize that actions that used to be routine would be reviled through the lens of today's politics and norms; examine any one country and you can easily condemn anyone.

I assumed the response most readers would have with that knowledge is to vilify the Swiss while still holding the Allies in high esteem.
