I want to travel from Germany to Italy. Do I have to add Countries inbetween (for instance Switzerland) to the pass?

Your Interrail pass is your ticket, so no, you don't need any extra tickets for a stopover.

You can’t add countries to a pass. You either have a one country pass, which is valid in one country only, or you have a global pass, which is valid in all countries. Travelling from Germany to Italy, a global pass seems most useful. You just need to register your journeys/train in the app (mobile pass) or in the travel diary (paper pass) and buy any mandatory reservations before boarding a train.

ONly possible with global pass. You just fill in the sectors by train you intend to make-and do that as late as possible-strikes, storms, changed plans, whatever can wreck all those plans you have thought about monthes advance. You do not even have to bother about what country the stop is in!
