Hitler's American Friends, by Bradley W. Hart, is an audiobook examining the strange terrain of Nazi sympathizers, nonintervention campaigners, and other voices in America who advocated on behalf of Nazi Germany in the years before World War II.Â
Americans who remember World War II reminisce about how it brought the country together. The less-popular truth behind this warm nostalgia: Until the attack on Pearl Harbor, America was deeply, dangerously divided. Â
Bradley W. Hart's Hitler's American Friends exposes the homegrown antagonists who sought to protect and promote Hitler, leave Europeans (and especially European Jews) to fend for themselves, and elevate the Nazi regime.  Â
Some of these friends were Americans of German heritage who joined the Bund, whose leadership dreamed of installing a stateside Führer. Some were as bizarre and hair-raising as the Silver Shirt Legion, run by an eccentric who claimed Hitler fulfilled a religious prophesy. Some were Midwestern Catholics like Father Charles Coughlin, an early right-wing radio star who broadcast anti-Semitic tirades. They were even members of Congress who used their franking privilege - sending mail at cost to American taxpayers - to distribute German propaganda. And celebrity pilot Charles Lindbergh ended up speaking for them all at the America First Committee. Â
We try to tell ourselves it couldn't happen here, but Americans are not immune to the lure of fascism. Hitler's American Friends is a powerful look at how the forces of evil manipulate ordinary people, how we stepped back from the ledge, and the disturbing ease with which we could return to it.

I heard a radio interview with the author and got captivated by the theme and his research. I am really enjoying the book. It is an easy and well documented narrative of a difficult period in American, and I was surprised how present and strong the Nazi ideology was in the US in the period before WWII. The author is also excellent in waving those facts and menaces with what is going on presently in the US.
Bradley Hart’s Hitler’s American Friends plays fast and loose with facts as he comes to numerous conclusions unsupported by his research. For example, in his Afterword, Hart states that millions of Americans supported pro-German causes before the Second World War. His text, on several occasions, states that membership in pro-German organizations was difficult to determine but likely numbered in the tens-of-thousands – not millions. Hart’s hyper-focus on anti-Semitism is likely responsible for his skewing of the numbers. Moreover, comparisons of Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, and American talk radio to Nazism are off-putting, off-topic, and historically do not make a meaningful contribution.
I bought this because of the good reviews but never finished reading it. The author comes to conclusions for me, when I prefer to come to my own conclusions. I shouldn't be surrised, the news does this, too.
The history about Hitler.
In 1941, the country was divided. Some people supported Hitler, some wanted to avoid war, and some wanted to support Britain. The opening to Hart’s book details the three perspectives on WWII. I found it fascinating. Being too young to remember the news, I found that there were many things I had missed in the lead up to WWII.Britain assuredly wanted the support of the US and had agents, including those from IM6, operating in the country. What I didn’t realize was how organized the Nazis were in the US. Hart’s chapters discuss the Nazi organizations that were in the US prior to WWII. They include information of the Bund, a primarily German organization; the Silver Legion; The Religious Right, primarily Father Coughlin’s Christian Front; senators who supported Nazi Germany to keep the US out of the war; businessmen who supported the Nazis for profit; students who were sucked into the Nazi propaganda through their universities; America First, which supported Charles Lindberg; and the spies who stole military secrets to support the German regime.The book is easy to read and is supported by copious research. If you’re interested in the pre-WWII era in the US, you will enjoy this book. I found it particularly interesting because I didn’t realize how divided the US was prior to WWII. One tends to think of the divides of one’s own era, but this book suggests that we have always been a people who think for themselves which leads to social divides.I recommend this book. It’s well written; we’ll researched; and will give you a view of America at at another crossroads.I received this book form Net Galley for this review.
This book is composed of seven chapters with each concentrating on a specific group (Amereica First, Politicians, The Bund, etc.). I have some knowledge of Nazi sympathizers in the United States leading up to and during World War II, but as promised by he author there is substantial new material that I was not aware of occuring during this time period. The book is well documented and the author's writing style makes it easy to follow. I appreciate his devoting a single chapter to each group rather than bouncing around between groups which I have run across in the past with other history based books. The author was also able to present the material without moralizing the subject which I also appreciated.I recommend this book for anyone with an interest in the events leading up to and during World War II in the United States.I received a free Kindle copy of Hitler's American Friends by BradleyW. Hart courtesy of Net Galley and St. Martin's Press, the publisher. It was with the understanding that I would post a review on Net Galley, Goodreads, Amazonand my fiction book review blog. I also posted it to my Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google Plus pages.I requested this book as the description interested me and I have read a great deal about World War II, but not on this subject. This is the first book I have read by the author.
Book review: Hitler’s American Friends: The Third Reich’s Supporters in the United States by Bradley W. Hart. 2018. St. Martin Press. New York, N.Y.I just returned two library books when I decided to check out the new non-fiction book section. I spotted Hart’s book. The cover had a photo of a 1937 Bund rally with a crowd of average looking Americans gathered around two very large flags hanging next to each other. One was the U.S. Stars and Strips. The other was the German Nazi flag.I knew there were Americans, including famous ones like Charles Lindbergh, Henry Ford, and Prescott Bush father and grandfather of two U.S. Presidents, who supported Hitler. But I didn’t know much more.The book chapters are organized by the organizations and groups that supported the Nazis. There are three chapters on the major pro-Nazi groups - the Bund, the Silver Legion and the Chief, and the largest and most successful, America First, the name President Trump has adopted for his administration.There is a chapter on the religious right which has a long history of supporting dictators past (e.g., Hitler, Mussolini) and present (e.g., Putin, Bolsonaro). There are also chapters on Senators, Businessmen, Students, and Spies. Each chapter starts in the 1930s and moves to the early 1940s.Don’t ignore the Introduction that summarizes the era and sets the stage for the following chapters. The Afterword reveals what happened to the main characters after the war.It is hard to not recognize the parallels to our current state of affairs. The big difference is that America First was never able to elect a President and there was no Fox News. Nor have we experienced a Pearl Harbor that sent the Nazi sympathizers of that era into hiding.
