Anti-German sentiment was very strong. The city of Berlin, Ontario changed its name to Kitchener in 1916.

Brits were aces at Propaganda, Goebbels learned a lot from them.

That might have something to do with many of the Nazi families having moved to Alberta. One of their brats spent his whole life propagandizing Nazism and anti-American speech from Bruderheim. He said that he was ten years old before leaving Germany. I once managed to get him a little riled, and he said that the U.S.A. exterminated millions of German prisoners of war in U.S. concentration camps and forced the Japanese to fight by depriving Japan of oil.

Berlin, Michigan, became Marne.

The name lives on at the nearby Berlin Racetrack.

Well, we still have Berlin, MD.

Where the legendary Stephen Decatur (also has a million towns named for him) was raised, and where the legendary Man o’War was broken into tack for racing (in the aftermath of the war).
