quotation
According to Mr. Cerutti, however, Switzerland's wartime arms sales amounted to some 900 million francs between 1940 and 1944, when the trade was halted under pressure from the Allies. Of this, two-thirds went to Germany and part of the rest to its ally, Italy.The weapons, from companies Mr. Cerutti identified as Oerlikon-Buhrle, Tavaro, Hispano-Suiza and Dixi, included antiaircraft guns, cannon, military precision instruments and ammunition.
