Was Switzerland excluded from Pan-German schemes?

Was Switzerland excluded from the broader German union proposed by these writers?

Not from every version, but some writers imagined persuading Switzerland to join rather than conquering it, and the proposed boundaries varied widely.

A viewer challenges the suggestion that Switzerland appeared in these wider German visions. The reply distinguishes the language used for Switzerland from proposals directed at other territories: it was to be won over or 'embraced', rather than forced into the union by invasion. The proposed schemes varied, with some concentrating only on Denmark, Austria, and German-speaking Czech areas while others imagined a much larger bloc. The answer also cautions that this political literature lies outside the episode's principal expertise, so the exchange is a qualified overview rather than a definitive survey.
