Did you guys know that the American/ German Bund and other nazis were the target of Jewish brawlers organized and financed by gangsters like Meyer Lansky? They would interrupt meetings, throw stink bombs, and split scalps.

They kept it up until the American nazis suddenly lost all popular support at the end of 1941 for some reason.
Fucking bawler. Now that's a true American.
