Haha I did actually really enjoy the movie, just that particular sentence is as wrong as it can be. For starters, cuckoo clocks are German! Also, as a side note, the Swiss were mercenaries for the whole of Europe for centuries, that's how the papal (Swiss) guard came about - first as elite pikemen (and not just a few, in the ten to hundred thousands), then in smaller numbers as sharpshooters (I think there's the theory Nelson might have lost his eye to a Swiss sharpshooter in a French crow's nest). 500 years of democracy and peace, my ass....
I hate that movie clip. Literally every single thing about it is wrong. Gah!
