How the Swiss Protected Hitler's Gold 

War: *Ends* Switzerland: Stonks

Why play for a diplomatic victory if you can just get a economic victory?

Switzerland has just been playing Monopoly.

Switzerland: we don't take sides, we take money

5:21, top right. She stares into your soul.

What makes Switzerland a great country? I’m not sure, but the flag is a big plus

Business casual should make a video on Saudi Aramco.

Not only Switzerland is responsible for holding plundered golds but also Britain should be held accountable for the stolen goods from India whose present value is some trillion

The last video of an era... we just didn’t know it

Finally i got my answer as to why Switzerland never got involved in conflicts. Its because all the billionaires stuff are stored there!!

"Holds the oldest neutrality policy in the world" San Marino: hold my serenissima Republic.

Of course they did while during the war Switzerland was supposedly neutral yet German archives found a few years back that Hitler was paying them to train soldiers on their soil.

I am swiss. And I am embarrassed and ashamed of this history. But I accepted as true. And one thing that non-swiss people should know is that most of us Swiss don't benefit from this. Yes, the average per capita GDP here is very high. But actually, for local Swiss people such as myself, we don't have such a good income. Good incomes only come to bankers and expats. In fact, something like 20 to 40% of people have to be on subsidies here for insurance, depending on the canton.

5:21 - Am I the only one who notice that there is a cosplayer standing behind Stalin? 🤣🤣

Hello. Swiss here! This is not the most glorious part of our history. Kudos for the quality of the summary. While the actions of a minority of greedy bankers in a dark hour and a consequence of a neutral stance, changing the banking system in Switzerland is still a dangerous terrain for those who tried. We are getting there, slowly as always. As an example, financial services are, now, only ~9% of Switzerland's GDP. I just want also to expand on two points that you are not addressing in the video but will surely pop in the comments. Those complex situations should not be oversimplified. 1. While being a reason for Germany not attacking Switzerland during WW2, the banking is not the only reason (landscape, strategy, timing, ...) are other reasons for it. 2. Switzerland's success after WW2 is mostly due to the fact that it was the only country (almost) intact after WW2 in the middle of a destroyed Europe.

You know whats dope as hell? Their strict laws on data protection and privacy. If you want anything from a different person, lets say your mother tells you to get important documents/letters. No chance they give you. Not even with ID.

The Netherlands also made a big profit during WO I. They acted like an transit hatch between the Allies and the Central Powers for scarce goods (which where many due of the war effort). Also for example, the ship industry, the fishing industry, the steel industry and even the agricultural sector all when trough the roof due to the highly exports. Even when there was little food the agricultural sector preferred to export with an faminen as result. This started a major strike where the whole potato market for the export got looted . Only a few made a big profit for the major part of the population it was business as usual. It's pretty interesting to see how economies can develop in those specific times.

Business is business tho. You must look out for your own country, can't be picking sides risking ending up on the losing side.

WWIII started! *Switzerland : Gold!

Nazi : hide these gold Switzerland : ok Now Germany : where my gold? Switzerland : what do you mean by gold?

It is important to note than neutrality means parlaying with both sides. I'm no fan of Swiss neutrality, but I understand their need for neutrality and their care to protect privacy.

Guarantee they could get more from the Swiss, if they were so inclined, but I'm assuming a lot of people and countries have a vested interest in the Swiss not turning over their related accounts information... smart for Nestle and other smaller companies to piggy back on that compensation program, get all their shame out of the way in one hit while it's being shared by other businesses and over shadowed by the banks, that way they won't be subjected to any similar lawsuits that target them specifically, as they can always call back to it...

1:35 That's a map of WW1-era Europe?

Swiss bank secrecy doesn't go far these days. The U.S. IRS can go through someone's bank account like hot butter.

Why is there a cat-boy in the Jewish crowd at 5:20 XD

I had no idea that the words "banking" and "greed" were connected. I though that banks only had the best for people in mind. I thought banks were founded on benevolence, altruism, empathy, compassion, and humanitarianism. Guess I was wrong.

I learn more from this channel than I did in school. Also a huge fan of the 3D effects used in these vids.

I dont want to defend the actions my country did, but it would have been unwise not to cooperate with germany and running the risk of being invaded

Portugal was the perfect Nation, as England oldest Allie, and one of the reasons why allies won the war, The Azores RAF base allowed a safe corridor for the USA war effort to reach England, considering that it was selling Volframiun to both sides, and Hitler even preventing the Spanish Franco from invading, both sides were happy with this 3-way marriage...

Thank lORD someone talks about this. I'm tired of everyone acting like Switzerland was neutral during the war.

Hitler had his War Staff draw up plans to invade Switzerland , however it was a impossible feat to move enough troops via the mountains and not enough could be air dropped in to over come The Swiss 800'000+ Army so the invasion idea/plans was dropped.

I swear this is the invention of the word SLEAZINESS! Or self-preservation, that's polite way to put it...And while I understand the strategical position in WWII, protecting themselves instead of being wiped-out in the war, they continued to have the same politics and stances in the post-war contexts and up to contemporary days, private foundations acting like they are giving something - charities, donations, reparations, while in fact it's just giving back what has been stolen, stacked with time, and what didn't belong to them in the first place...I guess it's almost impossible to give away wealth and power once it's obtained, even when there is no more justifications and/or excuses left. Not to mention the colonial bonds and its history....

You missspelled "Kunstschutz". Also, why do you keep using WW 1 Maps?

And modern day in MBA we are teaching about corporate transparency...

You are an Inspiration to all content creators in RU-vid @BusinessCasual. Hope to be as big as you some day!

Switzerland lives on the world's miseries

3:27 "The largest of which was Switzerland" Turkey: "Not sure about that buddy"

Its expensive real estate!

i have full notifications for this channel and watch every video, i got no notification of this video at all. ffs utube.

*World:* what if there was a war and nobody came? *Switzerland:* only we can do that!

The Swiss only claimed neutrality. Their mercenary armies are famous.

Never been more proud to be Swiss

Who else saw Felix staring into your soul 👁👁👁👁

Ah, Nestle. Who would've thought?

The Swiss have strong, and historically deep ties with both the Austrian Germans, and the Bavarians. WW2 was a war over the preservation of Western art, history, cultural heritage, and ethnicity, all of which Swiss Germans, German Austrians, and Bavarians share in common.

6:24 that is only $2700 per person if you're wondering.

Please make a youtube video about the rise and fall of South African tech giant, Mxit. Would love to know the story

5:21 behind the dude on white suit..

There must be so much undiscovered money sitting in Switzerland.

The fact that this actually happened in history is astounding

5:24 It's ya boi in the crowd on his way to assassinate Stalin

The Alps won’t stop me from seizing their state...

The chocolates in the bottom at 0:05 look like Ganondorf!

Swiss are smart They were neutral and made money from the war and lost no one in the war while the allies and axis are fighting over land

nós povos marrons e amarelos buchas do terceiro mundo nunca fomos tao babados quanto certos povos nunca recebemos nenhuma compensação de nada mas os de sempre recebem tudo

The funny thing is that although the riches from the looting where taken from multiple countries, peoples, and ethnicities; the chosen ones claim that ALL should be given to them.

My blood boils when I look that symbol. They stole our(Hindu's) holy symbol "Swastik" and made it a Holocaust.

@2:37 Kunstschutz*

This proves that Nestle was always in the bad side of things.

Youd think people would get suspicous of a nation who moves money for all sides and doesnt get involved 🤷‍♂️

and we are back to watching good completed videos!

Lot of true... But you made a mistake. The J on the passport wasn't a Swiss idea! Greetings from Switzerland

Fact: Switzerland Union Bank holds more 200, 000 tons of gold from the Philippines (Tagean- Tallano Clan) and even Vatican City once hold more than 640, 000 tons of gold from the Philippines.

I'm pretty sure Swiss bank is the richest entity out there.

that's why they're one of the best when it comes in holding and caring of its banking business.

Same with Sweden.

Can you make a business analysis on stark industries i.e. Tony Stark's company and what does it do other than manufacturing weapons😁

swiss got the gold, Norway got the seeds

Portugal since it was formed by the future to be Templars, in the beginning of the first millennium, has been in the crossroads of the world...either by dividing it in half with the Spanish or monopolizing trade with both China and Japan, holding the oldest alliance on earth and living up the bargain, by daring to oppose Napoleon, while the rest of Europe just bowed...we are still a small Nation, with the heart and the soul the size of the world...

how about the gold and arts shipped to the South America ??

There is still a lot of unrecovered art stolen by the Nazis,mostly,since the victorious allies also stole a lot of it, out there to this day.

a podcast called business casual was just created under the morning brew Brand

Huh? So at least 96 tons of gold just went missing?

It is still there

The german word "the Kunstschultz" has a spelling mistake if it should mean art protection it has to be written Kunstschutz

I mean, staying neutral is a big plus for the bankers...

Here in Portugal I've seen swastika marked gold with my own eyes. Piles of it

Switzerland is smart!

Knights Templar took the money from the we crusades and other conquests They disbanded- 7 years later founded Switzerland Keep the same symbol and colors Became an economic powerhouse. This goes even farther back to Egypt and the Line of the Pharos. The alps are the Swiss pyramids. Anyway….. If you ever wonder how a small country remains neutral….they find both sides

I think it was actually a big marketing move, backed by the government

World during ww2 Not Stonks Switzerland Stonks

5:23 Isn't that Astolfo behind Stalin?

It's about principle though if everyone knows you'll die for their money they'll give you to keep it for them that's why they are the go to destination now

Does anybody tell me, which animation is this?

5:24 wait whats that in the backround?humm i see you BC,i see you

Sources would be even better

That's the topic! Great job! This is where the real power is, not the governments and the Presidents.

One source of the gold was the gold dental fillings from the death camps.

Can we do the same for stolen African gold? Or is that only reserved for whites?

Something I didn't know.. this should be out there to boycott Nestle and Novartis

Protection = Schutz not Schultz

"Swizz"

I'm I the only one who sees that in the background. 5:19

2:37 it is called "Kunstschutz"

5:20 I see a trap

Why play wide when you can play tall??

Not the only politician to deposit it's money in Swiss banks though.

Now i thinks its Switcher Land all along.

Imagine the Philippine dictator ferdinand marcos found the treasure of yamashita and put it in swiss bank account so that no one will ever touch it.
