This episode explores the movement from Nazi-sympathizers to pro-Nazi support among American groups, particularly the German-American Bund. The Bund’s 1939 “Pro-American” rally at Madison Square Garden was a watershed moment for pro-Nazi organizations, whose numbers grew in the pre-war years.

Stephanie Hinnershitz, PhD, fellow with The National WWII Museum’s Jenny Craig Institute for the Study of War and Democracy, discusses the Bund with Bradley Hart, PhD, Military Historian for the Museum.
