Hundreds of German Americans give the Nazi salute to young men marching in Nazi uniforms. The event was a German Day celebration sponsored by German American Bund at Camp Sigfried on Long Island.

A crowd of approximately 20,000 attends a German American Bund Rally at New York's Madison Square Garden on February 20, 1939. At center is a large portrait of George Washington, claimed as an icon by the Bund, who called him "the first Fascist", claiming Washington "knew democracy could not work."

There is an abandoned bunker in Santa Monica California Mountains that was built by Nazi supporters in the 1930's It has a huge water tank and remnants of a generator Terraced gardens for growing fruits and vegetables and remnants of several buildings. This was intended to be occupied by Adolf as his plan was to conquer the world and rule it from the fair weathered city of Santa Monica, CA True. I have hiked it and have plans to metal detect there. All of his supporters were rounded up and arrested as the war progressed in Europe. It was then occupied thru the late 50's to 70's by "Hippies" had quite the commune going but they were evicted by the state. Crazy You can google nazi bunker santa monica and read a ton of info on it.
