I mean, the USA was pro-Nazi until Pearl Harbor, and even then it took a propaganda campaign by the government to convince the American public to oppose Hitler.
Those Nazis were, by the way, inspired by the USA. Eugenics programs in North Carolina inspired later eugenics programs in Hitler's Germany. Jim Crow was seen as a textbook example of how to use the legal system to enforce racial dominance, and was named pretty directly by Hitler as an inspiration.
Fun? fact, Hitler supposedly had a portrait of Henry Ford behind his desk!
Yeah. It’s amazing how much a few Hollywood movies can create such a big reality distortion field and make people believe that not only the United States was anti-Nazi (it wasn’t) but also that they where the ones winning the war (they weren’t).
History gets written by the winners.
Yeah, America was super into the Nazis before WWII. Many businesses leaders dealt directly with Hitler.
It's crazy how people have forgotten. The Hindenburg was even a Nazi air ship but that never gets mentioned along with that tragedy.
Literally a rally at Madison square garden, which was just recently repeated.
More people need to know that Prescott Bush, Fred Trump, and Joe McCarthy were all unapologetic nazis.
Even the US declaration of war against Japan specifically mentioned how we were only going after Japan as retaliation and that we wished to remain friendly with Germany.
