I know some storys with relabeling some products in Switzerland to. A country would not deal with the EU. So stuff came to Switzerland, got a new label and got shipped.

International trading is a kind of funny place. I know a women who works on a company who make also things for large gas pipes (process industrie). She said, long before the war started, funny thing happened with a lot of involved companys.

Isn’t that all long after it started though?

Yes and now. Maybe this was a bad example. The start here was short after the war started, true.

Since I also don't know any names by myself, I can't tell much more.

But it was the only example in the media.

Also interessting is, but I never read why somewhere, Rheinmetall Defense for ex., they made year for year the same amount of money (10 years back). Until two years before the war, they made much more and one year before the war, more much more money again.

Also I know a guy who workes there sometimes. He said they had all hands full of work ti produce munition at least a year before the war started.
