We don't forget Bill, it is just that in the '40's America was a nation mostly composed of European immigrants. Why I'm very proud of my father who flew 35 missions over occupied Europe as a B-17 pilot with the 95th, I also know he had relatives on the ground in several of the belligerent countries. To include German families, as I'm 1/4+ German, 1/4 Italian, 1/4 Finnish, and 1/4 Austro-Hungarian (now Slovakia who's mother was German). And while one of our family names is Haake, and there was a Haake who was among Hitler's 100 and has a Nazis coat of arms, I am all American. For an interesting read on the issue, I recommend Gerhardt Thamm's books. I worked with him in several agencies.
