Consider all the brands of beer produced in America at one time. They were all German. I grew up in northern NJ. At one time there was the Budweiser brewery here, Schiltz, Schaefer, Ballentine, Pabst, Rhinegold, Kruger. All gone now.

"There is literally no stopping the people who are now going around looking for any reason whatsoever to purge something from our national conscience."

I doubt if they will ever decide that the pyramids were built by evil tyrants using slaves because it would be a lot of work to tear them down.

[PIF]

Pabst still around, crappy as always

None of then as good as real german beer in germany

[jmacusa]

Schaefer has to be the absolute worst tasting beer ever brewed.

The Japanese killed, tortured and raped their way across Asia. Their statistic brutality against American POWs included cannibalism.

Taken as a whole, their military was the ISIS of the 1930-40’s, only at far greater scale.

The respect due to them was expressed correctly with flamethrowers and atomic bombs.

Visit Fredericksburg, TX. The old downtown looks exactly like Bavaria.

Love Fredericksburg, some of the best German restaurants in the country there. They also have the WWII Pacific War Museum there. And a lot of cool vinyards.

Pabst still around, crappy as always

“Our Germans are better than their Germans!”

Why would these have been allowed in 1943, when the U.S. was at war with Nazi Germany?

Well, and in 1953, 1963,1973,1983,1993,2003, and 2013 for that matter.

The current Brown Scare, which has reached the point of hysteria among young people, is psychologically quite interesting. In 1962, with millions of living Nazis, we had Hogan's Heroes and movies with gallant and honorable German soldiers like Battle of the Bulge. Now that the youngest living Nazi is 93 years old, we have panic.

Desecrating war graves is of course contemptible, wherever located.

In Normandy, not far from the American cemetary, is a very nicely kept cemetary for the German soliders who fell in the days following D-Day.

"Did those POWs end up as U.S. citizens?"
Not the dead ones.

Wow, that's interesting! They had POW camps all over the country, I suspect there is a lot of forgotten history surrounding this topic: List of World War II prisoner-of-war camps in the United States

The Wereth 11 Memorial in Wereth, Belgium, is dedicated to the 11 black U.S. soldiers
who were killed in the hamlet in 1944 and to all black American soldiers who served
during World War II.

[jmacusa]

There’s now a movie about this tragedy.

[Captain Peter Blood]

At the time this may have in accordance with their wishes, who knows.
Frankly I could care less, should have left them alone.
Given the people we did business with after thwart and bringing all those rocket scientists over here, does it really matter.

[jmacusa]

In my best high school German I think that reads(in the way Germans would speak) “Here were on 17 December 1944 11 US soldiers by the SS were shot’’.

[deport]

It list the names but they are blurred.

[pierrem15]

It’s possible the headstone was supplied to the POWs to carve for their comrade; or, they gave instructions.

[nickcarraway]

In accordance with whose wishes? Enemies of the United States?
