Did any Americans fight as Nazis in World War 2?

Answer 1

Yes - many American-born Germans felt that they should return to "the Fatherland" and serve their military. However, in saying that, it should be noted that at the time, the U.S. was not yet involved in the War and was not at war with Germany as yet, and the true nature of the Third Reich and Adolf Hitler wasn't as yet known.

Answer 2

America's involvement in WWII did not officially begin until December 7th 1941. We might have avoided the European conflect longer had Adolf Hitler not declaired war on the U.S. on December 9th of the same year 9this was the only Country Hitler formerly declared war against). America was indirectly involved with WWII before Japan's actions brought us into the war. Roosevelt's Lend-Lease act allowed us to aid the English government.

Another Answer:

Yes. The US fought Nazi Germany from their declaration of war on Dec 11th, 1941 to their unconditional surrender on May 8th, 1945.

Answer 3

Some US Army Air Force combat aircrew personnel flew a complete tour of duty in Europe, and then transferred to B-29s and flew a tour in the Pacific. One such was Colonel Paul Tibbets, who flew a tour in Europe in B-17s and later piloted the first atomic mission to Hiroshima. And some high-ranking officers served in both theaters, such as Lieutenant General Alexander "Sandy" Patch, who commanded the final half of the Guadalcanal Campaign in the Solomon Islands, and ended the war commanding the US 7th Army in Europe. There were Navy ships which operated in the Atlantic until the Nazi navy (the Kriegsmarine) was about finished, and then ended the war in the Pacific.

But for men in the Army Ground Forces, the foot soldiers, riflemen, artillerymen, and tankers - once they were committed to a theater of operations, they were there until one of three things happened: they died, they were wounded so severely as to be unable to return to the front, or the war was won. There was no getting out. Many men had a handful of Purple Heart awards from their multiple woundings, and as soon as they were able, they were sent right back to the front.

One Army division, the 3rd Infantry Division, was briefly in action in North Africa, then fought in Sicily, southern Italy, at Anzio, and then landed in France during the "second D-Day" and fought through Germany, captured Hitler's "Eagle's Nest" at Berchtesgaden and ended the war in Austria. The 1st Infantry Division was in North Africa, Sicily, and then in the Normandy D-Day" landings and on through to the finish in France and Germany. The 9th ID was in North Africa and France. The 1st Armored Division was in Africa and then Italy. The 82nd Airborne Division was at Sicily and Normandy. The 36th and 45th Infantry Divisions missed North Africa, but were with the 3rd ID in Sicily, at Anzio, and then into France in August 1944 in the "second D-Day" landings.

There were about 15 Army divisions which spent the entire war fighting in the Pacific, and about 75 in Europe and the Mediterranean. All six divisions of Marines fought exclusively in the Pacific.

Most US Army divisions saw no action at all before the Normandy D-Day landings on June 6, 1944. Some had barely arrived in Europe before the war there was over. Many of these were on their way to the Pacific, for the climactic assault against Japan, when that war ended too.
