How long do you think Swiss neutrality would have been respected By the aggressors if the Allies were defeated ? One week or Two ?
Even Stalin was surprised we handed them over apparently, we naively believed they wouldn't be able to reverse engineer them.. they also invited the Russians to visit Rolls Royce and see what we were doing and each Russian was given new shoes by the KGB with super sticky soles on them and told to walk through as much swarf as possible thus allowing the Russians to learn about the make up of some of the secret metallurgy technology RR were employing.
