3. At the time of Pearl Harbor, the top US Navy command was called
CINCUS (pronounced 'sink us'); the shoulder patch of the US Army's
45th Infantry division was the Swastika, and Hitler's private train
was named 'Amerika.' All three were soon changed for PR purposes.

Before the war the back (Reverse) of the US dime bore the symbol of
Fascism.

Erich Alfred Hartmann flew some 1,404 combat mission for the Germans
in WW II, had 352 confirmed kills and died in 1993 at the age of 91
John B.

An Allied airman with Hartmann's high crash record would have spent
the war as a POW after his first downing in enemy territory. He lost
his own plane on average once per 27 victories (352/13) but was lucky
to survive them, and land on friendly soil.
