They must not have been able to find any photos of Eleanor Roosevelt giving a Nazi salute, and didn’t want to show any of the sacred Kennedy’s giving one despite the strong likelihood such exist. That’s the current fashion when trying to smear a selected target with a Nazi brush. Besides, why scrap a boat undoubtedly built with typical German engineering precision? Their own royal navy was never averse to renaming and putting to use captured French ships during the Napoleonic wars.
That’s right. FDR recalled Joe Kennedy as the Ambassador to the Court of St. James because he was too sympathetic to the Nazis.
At one time, when saying the Pledge of Allegiance, everyone held their arms out in what looked like a Nazi salute.
