Argentina added to the OpenDemSearcher.
30 m Digital Surface Model (DSM) as Erdas Imagine Images (.img). These images could be read with common FOSS GIS Software like QGIS.
Partly higher resolution DTMs and DSMs are available (5 m and 0.5 m), marked in dark green in the image below.

Switzerland added to the OpenDemSearcher.
DTM and DSM available with 0.5 m resolution as GeoTiff and ASCII X,Y,Z files.
The DSM data must be ordered.

VDSR with upscale factor 5 processed.
As expected the overall error is much bigger and the improvement is not as good as for the upscale 3 model.

Tuning the machine learning hyperparameters with Keras Tuner results in an improved Super-resolution model.
5.1.2021
Some new countrys and states are added to the OpenDemSearcher.
France added, including the overseas regions French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mayotte, and Réunion.

Thanks to Rouven from planlaufterrain.com for the hint.
The deadline for the EU countries for INSPIRE ANNEX 2 was in october 2020. ANNEX 2 includes DEMs. The INSPIRE Data Specification on Elevation–Technical Guidelines defined that the EVRF2007 realization of EVRS should be adopted as height vertical reference for pan-European geo-information. The actual realization of EVRF is 2019. As far as I know Poland is the first country that realized that requirement for there free DTM.
Countries in Europe with free available DEMs. High resolution DEMs (<= 2m) in green, and mid resolution DEMs (2-30m ) in lightgreen. Made with natural earth.
