German-American GI's Fighting In Germany During WWII and General Nazi Attitude Towards Them

I give up here LWD ..youre making talk radio of a sketched scenario no european would doubt ...wish U luck finding those stats ..they arent there .
About pilots ..many were found and picked up by civvies who led them into resistance networks ..many were (unexpedtedly ) saved this way ..think more of those crew who came down after a raid above cities ..bet many werent cheered at when on the ground , but its all talk radio to some theoretici ..

Just read a whole list figures too saying absolutely nothing about aNazi attitude , srry ..
But it does proof what Spaniard says : wich numbers ??

 

I have read much about Hitler but never heard he had an American nephew...source?

 

Patrick Hitler had immigrated to the US with his mother who had been married to Adolf's step-brother Alois. Bridgette had been separated from Alois, and he (Alois) had re-married in Germany and become a bigamist in doing so. Shortly afterwards, Bridgette and Patrick came to the US and toured making speaking tour appearances degrading Hitler.

Just google up William Patrick Hitler and you can get the story, he wasn't an "American" nephew like Werner Goering, he was a nephew who had moved to America and enlisted in the USN to fight against his uncle.

Here is a link to a WW2 magazine article about the fellow:

One has to differentiate between a German who had left Germany, before the war due to political reasons (and as such maybe being listed by the Gestapo) and those “normal’ emigrants.
A German-American GI wearing a US uniform, certainly was no more a German citizen. As such upon becoming a PoW, he would have been run through the files or upon becoming suspicious due to his name or German accent – his past would have been thoroughly examined.
If it was proven that he was posted on the Gestapo list – he probably wasn’t shot but send to a KZ for sure. If he was not on the list he was a PoW just like anyone else.
There are numerous Americans and British who had died in KZ’s – check KZ Flossenbuerg and you will get a good picture about US and British PoW’s who died there.
There are also numerous accounts of American Bomber crewmembers that had been beaten to death or shot by civilians and soldiers.

Our family immigrated from Germany to America in the mid 1840's. They were part of what is called The Bremmen Flotila.

German Lutherans left Germany for religious freedom. They brought the German migrants up through New Orleans, not Ellis Island, New York. The Germans were riverbottom farmers and America needed productive farms. From the Missisippi and Missouri river valley you'll find Germantown, TN, Stuttgart, ARK, Herman, MO.. etc... All old German towns

My 7 uncles in WW2 fought as Americans and never had a second thought. My one uncle that was KIA on 12/12/1944 in The Voges Mountain area in France. If he had lived a few months later.... He would of marched through our hometown in Germany !!!

 

Quite interesting, never knew about this Bremen Floltia, I guess its kinda like the Mariel Boatlift minus the released imprisioned killers/rapists/theifs? lol

On a docu that I saw, I believe "acpocalypse" by nat geo, they spend a few minutes speaking about captured Germans that were brought to the US to work on farms during their POW intervention. During their stay, however, strict discipline & fear was constantly maintained amongst the soldiers so basically they wouldnt hear how "easy" they could have it in the US if they simply surrendered. Does anyone know what happened to these Germans?
