How does this...

As a matter of fact, most of the [WW2] soldiers in
the US Armed Forces were German and British.

 ...have anything to do with this?

Most soldiers had German and British descendents.

   I would venture to say that most WW2 soldiers
   in the US armed forces were Americans.  And I would
   also venture to say that the descendents of American
    soldiers in WW2 were themselves American, and not
    German or British.

   In the off chance that you meant ancestors rather
   than descendents, I would tell you having German
   and British ancestors does not mean that most
   American soldiers were thus German or British.
   Or are you saying that there are no Americans
   at all, since everyone's ancestors came from somewhere
   else?

If Jews are Jews because they have Jewish ancestors, then Americans are German if they have German ancestors.
