Is it true that Yaphank actually has some streets named after high-ranking Nazi/German officials? I don't know where I heard this, and probably dismissed it as a baseless rumor when I first heard it, but somehow it got stuck in my head.

I don't know but I can check. Sounds like a Long Island legend though but the people are very real. I do know that my mother had God on her side when her car broke down waaaaaaaay out that way. Certain parts of LI make Deliverance look citified.

Yep, "Yip, Yip Yaphank" (Irving Berlin WW1) was the epicenter of the German American Bund in the 30's, revival type meetings, summer camps, etc. Until very recently the old German influence was still very strong.
