Half of America is Germany
In America, there are more German than British. But I don't understand why they chose English as the national language over German.
@@jurjitsingh3728 Historically, the Founding Fathers who founded the 13 Colonies were all Anglo-Americans and most of them were apart of the Anglican-Episcopal Church of the USA, so they spoke English. America is influenced by the British Empire and with some Celts from the Scots, Welsh, and Irish. They spoke with English accents just like the English did. They started to invent American English in the early 1800s, or maybe after the War of 1812 to become different from the English.

Quite happy my family didn’t turn out like this.. my Great Grandpa was pretty much ethnic German minus the fact he was born in America, his parents were both fully German.. in ‘41 he joined the U.S. Army to join the infantry, but during boot-camp he was hurt because another trainee had fallen on top of him. He spent a few weeks in the hospital and recovering due to him tearing something.. once he returned they had to cut him because the unit was full with 32 men.. and he was one of the 5 cut off because of his weeks in hospital and his last name started with Z.. so he joined the Army Air Corps.. he flew in the European Theatre of the war, and returned home safely where he had my Nana in the late 50’s.. RIP Grandpa.
your grandpa is a legend 👍🏻
My grandpa was the son of a German mother and he served in the US Army Air Corps. I’m glad our families remembered where they belonged...

Friendship between former Enemies, especially Americans and Germans was very common after WW2. I know that out of first hand experience as a German who grew up with a whole Family of WW2 Veterans from the Waffen-SS (not Allgemeine SS) to the Wehrmacht, Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe. I grew up in a Town with a US Military Base and my Relatives often had their former American "Enemies" over for BBQ in the Summer. Those were usually American WW2 Vets who decided to stay in Germany after being stationed here. Often moving their Wives (and in some cases also Kids) over here. To this day one of my Grandfathers who was a Wehrmacht and later Waffen-SS Soldier and fought Americans in the Battle of the Bulge (Ardennenoffensive) is alive, he turned 100 on the 2nd September. Only one of those former American "Enemies" and now Friends is still alive at 98. They don't meet much anymore for obvious Reasons, but they're still Friends
My grandfather got a letter to go back to Germany to fight for the Fatherland. He ended up being a radio operator for the Marine Corps. He was born in Germany too. One thing he always told me was, "There is nothing worse than big government. No matter what the ideology." This has always stuck with me and we can see it play out today around the world.
Sometimes in certain situations that's what it's needed,.

At the onset of WWII many Italian Americans joined the military knowing they'd be fighting their own families in Italy. They did this without hesitation. Same with many Japanese Americans. They were thanked by having their families rounded up and thrown into camps and forced to live in squalid conditions.
I'm part Italian and always wondered what it must've been like to have to kill people that shared the same ancestry as you. That must've been really tough.
@@NJRacer623 A lot of that had to do with them being part of Italian mafias. It was their chance to claim or wipe out rival gangs.
They didn’t put Japanese American soldiers in the Pacific, only Europe. Not because they thought they would defect but because they didn’t want them being confuse for the enemy.

My grandparents emigrated from Germany to the US in the mid-30s. When the US joined the war my grandfather was drafted and sent to Africa to fight. When it came to invade Italy they sent him home because he was a full blooded German and the Army didn't want to cause an incident (someone thinking he's a spy, him defecting to the other side, etc) so they sent him home.
An American bomber crewman (Jewish in fact) who bailed out of his damaged plane over Germany was approached by a youth, who asked in very good English if he was one of the airmen the Germans were seeking. The crewman said yes and how come he spoke such good English. The youth replied that he had gone to high school in Milwaukee.

They were traitors, since they fired at there fellow country man, and that one who stole a plane. I can understand if wanted to fight the Soviets, but against there own country man? No. Just no.
Americans: But why did they joined the very enemy, we don’t get it! »
@@saguntum-iberian-greekkons7014 I don't deny the fact that German Americans were treated badly, during the 1st World War. But likewise, Catholic Irish, the Polish, and the Chinese were treated very badly prior to WW1. In fact, the German Immigrates had it fair more easyer time, immigrating to America, since most were protestant, and had a working culture. It was only during the first World War, that Germans were treated badly of the first time. Plus, many did fear that German Americans would riot, and revolt against America for going to war against Germany. I can't blame them if they wanted to defend there ancastral land from, the Soviets. But America was there adopted Country, and they fought against there fellow country man. If that's not traitorous, then I don't know what is.

@Simple History you missed mentioning that ethnic germans were interned or detained by the US Federal Government during the war, which may also explain some of the reasoning as to the defections to fight for Germany. There were some cities such as New Ulm, MN where the majority of the population was ethnic german that were stopped from leaving the city by the US government throughout the war.
You never hear that. . . but surely we hear of the Japanese being interned. You also never hear of the bombing of Dresden and how many civilians were killed. But you surely hear of how American Soldiers were killing "innocent" villagers in Vietnam. Communists were busy subverting our government much earlier than people realize.

Same deal as mentioned here- the parents packed up and moved to Germany in 39'. He spoke perfect english, graduated from high school in Wisconsin, and moved with the family. After the war and spending time in an American POW camp, the guy from Wisconsin moved back here and he and my old friend became lifelong friends. My older friend met a german girl at the end of the war and he brought her home after they did their hitch occupying Germany after the war. Super neat people, got to meet them all at the VFW as a kid going to meetings with my dad.
Well seems like he’s lucky, the allies did a lot of trials it seemed on otherwise innocent people.
Wow, that's such a nice story, it's good you kept memories like that alive, many were lost because not many people bother to listen or the vets didn't like re living the terrible days. They truly were the greatest generation.
lucky he didn't end up in the soviet side...
So they are German Americans? I am planning something to bring back German culture to America. Do they have Instagram accounts?

I grew up in Wisconsin and my family has lived there ever since 1853. (Although they arrived in the US in 1840). I had heard of some of the anti-German sentiment during WW1, but I think because Wisconsin was out of the mainstream nothing affected the German Americans there. My mom was born in 1934 and went to a Lutheran elementary school where everything was taught in German, except the English class. She wasn't required to learn English until she went to high school...in 1948. The US even kept German POWs in Wisconsin and assigned them to work on the farms there. My mom remembered speaking with them. (They were very happy to be out of the war and living in place that was almost exactly like Germany. It would have been crazy to think of escaping and leave such a wonderful place). One them actually stayed and married my mom's aunt. I remember clearly my great uncle and his thick German accent. On my father's side, my grandfather was the first to learn to speak English. His older brother, however, did not and only spoke German. My local church was still doing services in German once a month until the 1980s. (I studied German in high school and so I attended the services to practice my German). I think also that because many of the people had immigrated to the US generations ago no one had an affinity for Germany anymore. Also, everyone hated Hitler because even though they spoke German they were Americans deep down. People should remember this as anti-Asian sentiment now seems to be sweeping across America, again.
The anti-Asian sentiment, according to the DOJ/FBI is by violent crime, "almost all" (their words) by a certain demographic group. Anti-Asian sentiment due to covid is a myth. The left seeks to divide us.
They hated Hitler and Germany because of the relentless lies and propaganda, just as today. Some things never change.
Yeah, what a great thing that we live in a beautiful, diverse homosexual trans racial society we have today it’s so beautiful that we have all these beautiful state governments and differing laws on everything it’s so beautiful that white people will probably soon go extinct and it’s a beautiful thing that even gender is being questioned to exist. You might think none of these things have anything to do with anything but they do.
Wow the things I learn here on this channel
