| Abstract | Decade of the 30's. At a time when the German presence in Milwaukee was still significant, three rival organizations had engaged in a bid to dominate the German-American community: The Wisconsin Federation of German-American Societies (Zentralverband deutschstaemmige Vereine), the German-American Bund (Amerikadeutscher Volksbund) and the German-American Citizens Alliance. In many respects the Federation, the Bund, and the Citizens Alliance shared a concern for the status of German Americans and for the preservation of their cultural heritage. Despite these common aims and ideals, however, the memories of one war, the anticipation of another, and strongly held ideologies prevented the achievement of a desired unity. |
