Ive heard of this few times, if it is true it just show’s how unaware America was of the strengthening power of Nazi Germany.
Here’s a video

America was very aware of this, but unless the organization, or its officers do something actionable, they are as free as the P.T.A. is to have meetings. as I recall, some of their officers did commit some manner of offense, and got the cosmic wedgie for it.
i see, I never understood how this happened…

We know all about it. No, 99.9 percent of Americans detest the whole philosophy of the Nazis. But, it is a free country here and as long as you don’t break laws like advocate killing, or engage in illegal activates then you can have your meetings.
Be it Nazis or Communist (and don’t think the Communist haven’t murdered millions to in their quest for the ‘Soviet Man’ or ‘Mao Man’) or Fascist.
Why here you can even get on a church pulpit and say, “God D**N America” for 20 years and the President of the United States will say he never noticed.

They were known as the American Bunde, and were active into 1942, but were never any sort of a real threat as the FBI, as-well-as, local and state prosecutors continually hounded them.
