Fascism in America: It's nowhere near as new as you might think

4. The Bund Tried To Recruit My GF

My grandfather was Danube Swabian, which were Germans who had emigrated to the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the late 1700's. They were still culturally German. My GF was conscripted into WWI and sent to the Western Front. Once the war was over, he returned to his village, married his girl, and GTFO to America. My grandparents settled in Pittsburgh, and my GF worked in a mill. In the 30's, the Bund tried to recruit him based on "German heritage" and other BS. I'm guessing that they were active in the local German societies. My GF - having been forced to fight for a country that he had no real connections to - told them to go f**k themselves. He'd seen enough of nationalism and war to last several lifetimes.
