During the 1930s and early 1940s Nazi sympathizers had a presence in the U.S. primarily through the German American Bund. This group promoted Nazi ideology organized rallies and sought to align German Americans with Hitler’s regime. Their most infamous event was a 1939 rally at Madison Square Garden attended by 20,000 supporters. Despite their efforts the Bund faced strong opposition from anti fascist groups and the U.S. government. After America entered World War II authorities cracked down on Nazi sympathizers arresting or deporting Bund leaders. Though some influential figures expressed isolationist or pro German views the vast majority of Americans rejected Nazism and the nation played a crucial role in defeating Hitler’s regime.

Yeah it was a time of extreme ideologies clashing on a global scale. The 1930s saw rising fascism with Nazi sympathizers even in the U.S. while anti fascist movements pushed back. Then Pearl Harbor shocked America into war leading to full mobilization against the Axis powers. D Day was a turning point marking the beginning of the end for Nazi Germany. So many interconnected events shaped the modern world history really is a wild ride.

what makes me sad is that we learn nothing from the past but to repeat the worst things that ever happened
