They had observers in Noth Africa who said they germans/Italians were going to win it.

Yes, I know about Lend-Lease.

There was no reason for the US to support Nazi Germany. We got dragged into WWI for no reason, and that was why we were reluctant to get into WWII.

But the Nazis broke every rule in the book and attacked our allies. We still didn't declare war on them, even after they sank some of our transport ships.

After their allies the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, Hitler declared war on us, much to Churchill's delight.

I'd like to see any documentation supporting a claim that a majority of Americans supported Nazi Germany at any time.

Its just common sense.
America back then was whitey in control central.. who disliked jews.
Far removed from the brainwashed Israel nuthuggers americans are today..

Patton even said, we fought the wrong side.

As usual a thread has gone way off topic and degenerated to name calling.

Closed.
