So why didn't he invade Switzerland?
He had the means and resources to do so. Switzerland sticks out like a blot on the map.

I don't know about Switzerland, but I did hear about why Sweden was allowed to stay neutral.
You see, the Nazis did initially try to invade Sweden, but the Swedes were very clever about sabotaging them. They outwitted the Nazis by having people ski in white sheets silently into villages at night and mess up the Nazi soldiers' efforts in setting up a beachhead, and the Germans taking away their food did no good because the Swedes can make bread out of tree bark. So the Nazis gave up and left them alone for the rest of the war.
Germans couldn't even handle the Russian winter.
How the hell you expect them to handle THE SWISS ALPS?
If a little bit of snow is too much for them...
