Although formal fascist organizations such as the German American Bund failed to enter the realm of official party politics, the ideas they espoused — arguing that American prosperity depended on protecting “real” Americans from variously defined threatening others — were not foreign to American ears. Deep traditions of racism and nativism found many Americans receptive, even as the United States prepared to fight against them overseas.
The Bund’s February 1939 rally at Madison Square Garden, for example, drew more than 20,000 enthusiastic supporters under banners that included swastikas and images of George Washington.
