I knew there was a Nazi-movement pre-WWII. I knew about America First and Lindburgh. I knew about the isolationists and anti-immigration/anit-jew zealots

The rest? I'm 67 years old, well read, and didn't have a fucking clue about the extent that the Nazi influence went in Congress and society. No idea about the sedition trials. Or the terrorist attacks.

It was all so very familiar. Shockingly so. It was a very established movement thruout the country.

I've started a book on the era, "Hitler's Friends". He had many here.
