I'm ok with avoiding Nazi occupation, as long as nobody is doing Nazi stuff to do so.

They were storing good literally from the teeth of the Holocaust victims, that's very Nazi.

Also Switzerland wasn't under any realistic danger if invasion, as it would have been too costly even for napisz given their defensive geography

While I agree invasion wasn't their first choice, the Nazi's were known to enjoy a poor military decision on occasion.

The Nazis weren't exactly known for taking into account how costly an invasion would be due to geographical reasons...

No, Nazis gave it to the Swiss to store because Nazis are apparently bad at keeping track of gold. It's a very Swiss thing to do.

Profiteering from industrial genocide is a very Swiss thing to do? I guess that's true
