People rally around a common enemy. Innocents get swept up in all of that.... the Germans were the enemy back then and until they set the standard to change they were treated as such.
This kind of stuff forces people to get with the program quickly. Same stuff going on with the Muslims now. As the normal Muslims get tired of all the heat they will get with the program and make changes.
Everyone used to be afraid of Russians as well. Well I guess democrats and leftists are still afraid of them.

During the war stories circulated of Germans raping women and bayoneting babies. The poster below is British but many Americans felt the same, and would not hire a German over an American. The war might be over but a "Hun" was still a Hun, however he was dressed.
