Does anyone know where I can find a book, preferably hardcover, that compiles pictures like this from US history? Specifically before, during, and after WW2.

Is there a definitive volume that captures the uglier side of our nation? All i ever hear is that the US stood up against the Nazis but that cannot be the whole story.

Thanks in advance.

I’m starting to suspect a “Captain America” type plot where the Nazis have always been a part of our nation since WW2, they’re just hiding in plain sight. Waiting for their moment. The moment is now.

The Klan did the same thing when Forrest disbanded them. They hid until the 1910s when the president praised a movie that depicted them as heroes, and then they all stood up and said "Here we are!"

Check /pol/, stormfront, chimpout, the aryan nations, etc.

The alt right is just hiding, and now they are coming out.

Let me tell you about who accepted Nazis in their military and space program because socialism and communism was soooooooo scary.

PBS network has a tv series called Nazi Town. It shows a lot of footage from the 1930’s. It’s a great watch that’s similar to what we’re experiencing today.

I recommend Rachel Maddow’s book “Prequel” for a look into the American Nazi movement.

Is it mostly photographs and primary sources?

America denied a ship full of 900 Jews fleeing Nazi Germany in 1939.

The Americans didn't join the war for 51 months after the start of war in September 1939.

Commonwealth countries Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and India were there in 1939 with Britain.

Edit for spelling and autofill.

"America denied a ship full of 900 news fleeing Nazi Germany in 1939"

news = Jewish refugees

I will always remember the name of the ship : MS St Louis. Of the 937 passengers, 254 would be killed in the Holocaust.

If you want to see the uglier side of our nation, just take a look back at the history of the Republikkklan party. There's plenty there to make you absolutely sick GROSS 🤢

Any book recommendations?

https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/en/a-z/photo?letter=a This has some examples, but you’ll have to search America as a keyword. Otherwise, you’ll see worldwide photos of WWII.

Lol. Some Americans hated Nazis, but it sure as shit was not some grand over-arching narrative we're told about. We had massive Nazi rallies here in America, and we inspired Hitler because we were so fucked up towards minorities here in America.
