Jerman Amerika Bund
Jerman Amerika Bund (German American Bund atau German American Federation;bahasa Jerman: Amerikadeutscher Bund; Amerikadeutscher Volksbund, AV) adalah organisasi pro-nazi di AS antara 1936-41, mencapai hingga 25.000 anggota. Organisasi ini terdiri dari warga negara amerika dengan keturunan Jerman, memiliki sekitar 20 kamp pemuda dan pelatihan gabungan, dan 70 divisi regional di seluruh negeri Amerika Serikat. Pada tahun 1939 mereka menggelar unjuk rasa di Madison Square Garden, dengan lebih dari 20.000 pendukung hadir.[4] Ketika perang pecah pada tahun 1939, organisasi mulai berantakan, pemimpinnya, Fritz Julius Kuhn ditangkap karena penggelapan dan setelah perang dideportasi ke Jerman.[5] Beberapa anggota Bund dilaporkan menyatakan George Washington sebagai Fasis pertama karena mereka mengklaim bahwa, dia (Washington) pun tahu kalau demokrasi tidak bisa berfungsi.[6]
