That brings up another forgotten fact about internment of Japanese and some Germans. Many Japanese American and German American families had sons fighting for the enemy.

While my grandfather fought in Europe, his father (my great grandfather) was denied a job in any war industry due to the fact that he was a German immigrant.

One of Hitler's nephews served with the British Army during WW2, while another died fighting the Soviets (I think it was at Stalingrad or Kursk).

I know that some of my father's family still lived in Germany at this time and most likely served in the German military, but I can't confirm this.
