It was not long before Germany withdrew its forces from Switzerland, which in years past had been negotiated to provide security to its critical infrastructure such as its aging railways.
The official cause was declared as Switzerland incapable of fulfilling contractual and diplomatic obligations.
The German Railway Forces being present in Switzerland had initially been the result of Switzerland's own lack of internal security capacity, and previous attacks on German citizens and freight.
And it wasn't just its security personnel Germany withdrew, starting in Zurich, then in Bern, and finally in Geneva Germany began issuing a warning to its own citizens travelling to Switzerland.
The travel warning was essentially a public statement that without German support, Switzerland's law and order, especially regarding public transit would quickly collapse to levels that were considered a risk to travelling citizens of the German Reich.
