As a Swiss citizen I have to pinpoint that Switzerland did (officially) refuse passage to all belligerants.So the Swiss Army did shoot down US and UK planes as well as Italian and German aircrafts.

Inofficially it has to be admited that, secretly, some merchandise (mainly charcoal and steel)did transit (by night train only)from Italy to Germany. This was maybe the only way to avoid the Germans invading Switzerland, a small country counting, at this time, about 3mio habitants. Nothing to be proud of but, at least, it saved the country from war...

Apparently no troops nor war material did transit trough Switzerland.

Thailand world war 2 history is very well documented in Australian history as Many Australian's died as prisioner's of war at the hands of the Japanese, while the prisioners worked on building the Thai burma railway. In Australia we have a day called ANZAC day to remember people who died in all wars, and this part of the war is considered very impotant to ANZAC history, as many Australian's visit the war cemetaries near this railway when they visit Thailand

From what I know (or remember) during my history classes in school, Thailand was sort of like the Switzerland of the Far East, in terms of its stance on war. It never taken sides in any of the world's biggest wars. I remember for World War 2, it allowed troops free passage within its lands. And not much is heard about the cruelties that the locals suffered under the Japanese as compared to the Chinese, British and Australians.
