I ran across this picture earlier and some questions come to mind.
1. How could Switzerland and Sweden just sit it out? Did they have nothing the Nazis were interested in?
2. Spain. They were on the fence and apparently had their people fighting on both sides. Instead of an iffy proposotion of a Normandy invasion, or anywhere else along the Atlantic Wall, did the Allies ever consider going through Spain? Difficult geography or just not a politically good decision in that it would have pushed a fence rider to the axis side? But if their beaches weren't fortified, well, screw 'em.
With all of them, including Ireland, one would have to assume that if Britain had fallen, and if the Nazis/Axis had managed to solidify their control of Europe, they were coming for them next.
