re: #320 Salamantis

And why were German-Americans not similarly interned? After all, Nazi Germany was our main enemy, if not the nation that first attacked us.

Could it be that they were not as ethnically and racially identifiable?

That was part of it, though some German-Americans were interned. But many others fought for the USA. The 83rd Infantry Division (The Rag-Tag Circus) had enough german-speakers to organize an infiltration company that was used to try to capture a bridge across the Rhine. The assault failed: though it came close to the bridge, the ruse was detected and they bridge demolished before they could cross.
