AbstractIn outlining the strategies of the Nordamerikanischer Saengerbund which thwarted the renewed attack on German-American patriotism, this article will seek to answer two interesting questions raised by these documents concerning the history of German Americans from 1917-46. If German-American assimilation during and after World War I was as complete as many historians have indicated, how did the U.S. Treasury Department get the idea that German-American singing groups represented a pro-Nazi danger and how did the NASB gather the sufficient moral and political authority to stifle this attack on German Americans' allegiance to the United States?
