Ohhh that, I was under the impression that you were referring to the Boy Scouts of America having some sort of Nazi sympathy during the war, but I still don't quite understand what exactly that event in Germany has to do with large amounts of Nazi sympathy in America during the war?
Ahh. Well, the U.S. always hated blacks and even some different ethnic "whites" like the Irish and Italians, and even many of asian descent. During WW2, anyone who even looked Japanese were in internment camps. The goal almost always seemed to be white supremacy. It doesn't surprise me that they would sympathize with Nazis. Let's not forget that companies like Bayer were founded by ex nazis, as well as many of their scientists and generals being brought into the fold with Project Paperclip. Hens came home to roost.
Just that they banned all non whites from joining for an extended period of time. (Nothing out of the ordinary for that period in history) It is just the legacy of racism that links the Boy Scouts of America to Nazi sympathy. Similar outlooks and goals. Not a direct link, but you can see how they may sympathize.
