Theodore Geisel (Dr. Seuss) weighs in on Father Coughlin's crowd. March 3, 1942.
Fritz Kuhn, the German-American Bund headman, had very close ties to Henry Ford -- he'd worked for Ford as a chemical engineer, and had dealings there with Ford's mouthpiece William J. Cameron, who was connected to all sorts of weird Nazi/Fascist/Christian Identity culty stuff. Kuhn went straight from Ford to the headship of the Bund, and given Old Henry's proven financial ties to the Nazi organization in Berlin, it's not too hard to figure who paid for his ticket.
In May 1933, Nazi Deputy Führer Rudolf Hess gave German immigrant and German Nazi Party member Heinz Spanknöbel authority to form an American Nazi organization. Shortly thereafter, with help from the German consul in New York City, Spanknöbel created the Friends of New Germany by merging two older organizations in the United States, Gau-USA and the Free Society of Teutonia, which were both small groups with only a few hundred members each. The FoNG was based in New York City but had a strong presence in Chicago. Members wore a uniform, a white shirt and black trousers for men with a black hat festooned with a red symbol. Women members wore a white blouse and a black skirt.Doesn't surprise me that there were many pro-German media voices in the US, let's not forget the "Bund". There's the remains of an actual Nazi children's camp only a short drive away in NJ, and let's not forget the Madison Square Gardens gathering.......

Pope Francis: Martin Luther wanted to ‘renew the Church, not divide her.' (If I had said that at my Catholic school, back in the 50's, chances are, I could have been expelled.)In 1521, the priest Martin Luther is excommunicated from the Catholic church by Pope Leo X.
