Brief History of the American Bund:
The German American Bund, or Amerikadeutscher Volksbund, was an organization formed in the United States in the 1930s. Comprising American citizens of German descent, it aimed to promote a favorable view of Nazi Germany and was characterized by its pro-Nazi rallies, propaganda, and youth camps. The Bund's activities were controversial and faced significant opposition within the U.S., particularly as tensions grew leading into World War II. Its influence declined sharply after the U.S. entered the war, and it was effectively disbanded. Items from this period, such as this armband, serve as tangible reminders of the complex socio-political dynamics of the era.
