The anti-American press today would be siding with the Germans.
Indeed.
And note how the article keeps mentioning Ambassador Kennedy, however tangentially.
Kennedy was strongly opposed to FDR's efforts to support the allies or prepare for war.
But it strikes me as odd that Nazi propaganda, even this early in the war, already claims America intends to enter it on the side of the allies.
Question: did Nazis actually believe their own propaganda?
If they did, don't you suppose it would give them reason for pause -- do they really want to invade all of Europe, if it means the US will enter the war against them?
And note that Roosevelt doesn't really deny the basic charge -- only says it must be taken with "three grains of salt."
FDR knew the US was not yet ready for war, but he was working hard to make it so.
Keep this in mind when the question arises: why did Hitler declare war on the US in December 1941?
Answer: because in Hitler's mind war with the US was always inevitable, it was only a matter of when, and December 1941 seemed like a good time to declare it.
We see that already in Nazi propaganda of March 1940, imho.
That’s exactly what I thought when I read the story. Today, there is no way that the Slimes brands this as “Nazi Propaganda” or today “Moslem Propaganda.”
Our national institutions have been hijacked by the enemy.
Did Howard Zinn use these Nazi documents in his book because he makes the same exact charge????
