Yes, the Bund Society in NJ actively supported the Hitler regime up until the Allies were about to cross the Rhein.
Most of the Bund Society members disassociated with the organization during this period between Pearl Harbor and D-Day, but the leadership was entrenched and continued support of Nazi Germany.
The pre-cursor agency to the FBI, OSS, kept close tabs on the leadership and had collaborators within the organization.
A Google search will provide more details.

I vehemently disagree with you.
Lets compare Islam to the bubonic plague. Not all rats were infected, but it was rats that spread it. Did we think about being 'fair' to all the uninfected rats when human lives were at stake? Could we AFFORD to pick and choose infected from uninfected rat? Was it even possible?
No.
Fairness is a luxury we cannot afford when our lives and the destruction of our civilization is at stake.
Plague infected rats were mixed in with the 'clean' rats just as the most militant Islamics are in the general Muslim culture. The DIFFERENCE is that the 'good rats' in Islam do not separate themselves from the militants. They openly or tacitly support and defend them.
Just because a Muslim does not have the guts to BE a terrorist does NOT mean that they disavow terrorism. Look at the celebration in the streets!
My point is, Islam ,as EVERY Muslim is taught it, is about subjugating or destroying all that stands against it. That IS the dogma all Muslims MUST believe to be a Muslim.
You can no more separate the individual Muslim from the basics of Islam than we could separate plague infected rats from clean ones.
If ANY other religion had it's leaders preaching violence against other cultures and faiths, its believers should EXPECT to be judged by those teachings. If priests were in churches encouraging violence against, say, Mormons- I would EXPECT Mormons to judge me, as a Catholic, accordingly.
Live by the religion. Get JUDGED by the religion.
