yeah...its true. I believe the name of Lindenhurst was Breslau before the war and was changed to take away some of the image. I knew one of those old Nazi's who owned a tavern for clam diggers in Lindenhurst back in the mid to late 1970's. He would get drunk and feed you free shots of Jägermeister if you would stay and listen to him talk about the glory days. He reminded me of the Nazi who wrote Springtime for Hitler in the move "the Producers"(I only know the movie...never saw the play), only without the helmet(or is it Helmut?).

Right and wrong. Lindenhurst was first called Wellwood then City of Breslau then Lindenhurst. But all of this happened in the 1800s not during the 1900s. The name has been Lindenhurst since @ 1891.

I used to occasion a bar in Chicago called Laschett's, and old Karl Laschett had pictures up behind the bar of his graduation ceremonies from the Nazi naval academy. Right next to them he had a framed letter from Ronald Reagan thanking him for being a member of some Republican PAC or another.

And downstate, my Central Illinois hometown had a German language daily paper until the war.

You can still get a great Octoberfest meal in Lindenhurst at Georgia's restaurant.
