This was mostly “news to me”, although I did know of an US AAC Officer-PIlot who did desert to the NAZI’S, with an intact P38 Lightning, during the War.
That's nothing, most are unaware of what was going on in America:
Nazism was VERY popular in the United States, right up until the Austrian maniac declared war on the United States - ironically, the only time they nazis declared war on anybody.
The nazis, for whatever reason, were fascinated with George Washington - who was a Semitophile! Of course, 'The Franklin Prophecy' - a gross anti-Semitic fiction - was popular at the time, Franklin was also a Semitophile to the point there are records of him donating to local synagogues and Rabbis spoke at his funeral.
The nazis then, much like the nutzis today, believe a fictional reality.
I grew up in No. ILL. I have scars to prove they're still around.
just fyi, there were thousands of American nazis, up until Dec 8, 1941. And just like that they all magically disappeared. Say... wasn't Werner VonBraun learning Chinese"?
