Yes, percentage might be true, but it doesn't mean that germans in switzerland were pro-nazi. germans in austria, romania, danzig, poland, baltics, sudet - oh yes, VERY pro-nazi. But i haven't heard a word that germans in switzerland would have the same feelings. so, while being cores - yes, but there should be some unrest events. After all, Switzerland's government for years was saying - there will be no surrender order, ever. So Hitler would have to defeat each armed swiss, not just the state. and he knew it :p by the way, swiss managed to have 600'000 mobilized through out the war, we'll have to show that too.

It is not about believing in any ideology. It's just about Hitler who considered some parts of Switzerland as Germans. So they should be core IMVHO.
Don't forget that he ordered to plan an invasion (Fall Tannenbaum) even if he actually backed down.
Core province repersent a territory where exist population, in respective number, of a nation that has core there. No doubt that Swiss Germans did not support Hitler, but they are still Germans, and Germany has legitimate right on those territories, same as France, and Italy.
 
legitimite rights? auch..nobody should say whats 'legitimate' on what, except the people that live there. and no swiss wanted to be part of reich at any point. otherwise, its the law of the strongest - the truth and legitimacy is what strongest decides to be true and legitimate.
no need for this discussion here, about legitimacy, but Vladimir sounded like typical ww2 aggressor :p

We are not going to discuss legitimity, I agree. Legitimity is defined as ideas commonly adopted by majority. Of course Swiss Germans have not wanted to betray sovereignty and integrity of their country. But Hitler has been seen as a unificator of all Germans. Surely that idea of unifying Swiss Germans with those in Germany has been legitimite in Germany, but not in Switzerland. When I have said legitimity, I had meant from Germany's point of view.
Considering that, they could put that Switzerland has claims on France, Italy, Luxembourg, Austria, Germany, Memel, Sudetenland, west Prussia...
