Here is the history on that group, Chris.
NTEB: The New York Nazis Of 1938
Not officially part of the Nazi party, the Bund behaved as if it were. It operated on the Nazi leadership principle, which demanded absolute obedience to superiors. Like Germanys Nazi party, the American Bund divided its territorythe United Statesinto regional districts, and created a youth program and a paramilitary Order Division. Members donned uniforms with brown shirts and jack boots eerily like those of Germanys Nazis. Despite their foreign appearance, members considered themselves to be loyal, patriotic Americans who were strengthening their adopted homeland, protecting it from Jewish-communist plots and black cultural influences such as jazz music. The Midwestern regional leader George Froboese of Milwaukee described the Bund as the German element which is in touch with its race but owes its first duty to America. To avoid another clash between Germany and America, it urged US neutrality in European affairs.
(Read As America Has Done To Israel to see how our treatment of Israel is connected to natural and financial disasters that have come upon the United States.)
The Bund made far more enemies than friends in the United States. Socialists and communists immediately opposed it. So did Jewish Americans, who organized a boycott of products from Nazi Germany (the Bund, in turn, organized a boycott of Jewish merchants and harassed Jewish and communist groups). In Washington, Congressman Samuel Dickstein of New York began an investigation of Nazism in America. The Bund also attracted the attention of the House Un-American Activities Committee.
The German-American reaction to Hitler and the Bund was mixed. Most supported American neutrality, and many were glad to see the revival of Germany and were angry about the Jewish boycott of German goods. But they were also uneasy about Hitler. Some tried to be cautiously optimistic. The Milwaukee Sonntags-post argued in 1933, for example, that the Hitler dictatorship represents for the moment the most efficient and expedient concentration of the united will of the German nation. Any hopes German Americans may have placed in Hitler would soon be dashed. Nazi behavior overseas and the presence of the Bund in America would soon revive German Americans deepest fear: a repeat of World War Is anti-German hysteria.

The book they reference I purchased and read some time ago. It speaks of the destruction of that camp during the great hurricane of 1938. That was the book I was referencing, Chris. The destruction from that hurricane was Massive! I mean Massive! The book is a great read because it goes point for point on every single time US leaders tried to divide Israeli land we were hit with natural disasters and financial disasters. John **** references dates with news articles and dates of disasters and bad decisions like OSLO peace accords, everytime Clinton met with Arafat - disasters - GWB Sr. his house was wiped off its foundation by the Storm made famous in movie, Perfect Storm, that was right after he tried to divide the Israeli land and so the evidence is all laid out.
Interesting! Thanks for sharing.
