Ok, so now I know
I've seen one Swiss tank in person, and that was a postwar Hetzer D, which is a part of the Patton museum at Fort Knox....

Yep the Swiss purchased 158 of those in 1946/47.
They were made in Czechoslovakia with Skoda and used by the Germans during the war as "Hetzer"
The post war Swiss version was called the G13 and 94 of them had a Swiss made Saurer V8 diesel engine. The G13's were used till 1973.
See this link for lots of nice pics and stories...
