6. German Americans were also rounded up

and for many families the patents for various things that their families in Germany held were confiscated and basically handed out for the asking to American companies. Despite those German families having fled the Nazis. The patents were of German origin and so they were taken. Remember that the Nazis confiscated art etc. from the Jews and others but the Allies made no major effort to freely return the items confiscated and some things were never returned.

War turns on hate and greed and too little of our Western media has focused on the historical architectural loss and the damage to archaeological areas in Gaza, Lebanon, Iraq, Syria etc. from all of these wars.
