Liechtenstein in World War II

Common card · No. 457809

Liechtenstein remained neutral throughout World War II, and its neutrality was not violated by any of its combatants. The country sought to align itself as closely as possible to Switzerland in hopes of retaining this neutrality, while also maintaining steady relations with Nazi Germany. German diaspora in Liechtenstein formed a local group of the Nazi Party/Foreign Organization. Additionally, Liechtenstein Nazis formed the German National Movement in Liechtenstein (VDBL), which sought the country's annexation into Germany.
