Reasonably familiar, but I don't know if the Swiss male over-18 population in, say, 1941, amounted to "a few million", given that their total population is only about six million these days (though I could be wrong- I was pretty drunk most of the time while travelling through there).
At any rate, Switzerland's defensibilty owes a lot more to its geography than its military preparations- which, I will admit, are impressive, but I think they mostly date back to the Cold War era and not the inter-war years. Again, I could easily be wrong.
