Explanation wanted about WWII.

There is a thing I have never understood: why did Hitler never invade Switzerland, nor Sweden? It was not their neutralities since he invaded Belgium which was neutral.

Re:Explanation wanted about WWII.
Hitler never invided Switzerland, nor Sweden because nazi system in WWII had a specific plan for dealing with every country, that plan included that some of the countries should be invided, some should be putten under nazi governement and some should be considered alies. They decided about their selection considering nazi parties in that country, etnic origine or was that countru traditional enemie to the Germans(like Poland). There is a great book written about it called simply Hitler(written by prof.Ristovic)
