On October 30, 1937, a massive Nazi parade took place through the streets of New York; wearing Nazi brownshirts and carrying flags bearing swastikas, thousands of Nazis marched with permission from the U.S. government.
By 1937, Adolf Hitler’s Nazi regime already had three large concentration camps—Dachau, Sachsenhausen, and Buchenwald—with more than 25,000 people interned there, most of them Communist political prisoners, and thousands of these prisoners had already been killed by beatings, torture, and executions carried out by the Nazis.
These parades continued systematically even well into 1939 in New York; in February 1939, more than 20,000 Nazis filled Madison Square Garden.
This scene did not appear in Saving Private Ryan.

Make no mistake; these people viewed themselves as proud American patriots.
Something to think about in today’s political climate and landscape.
Interestingly, there doesnt seem to be one woman visible on the photo…
To the right of the bus. There are a handful, but they’re very hard to spot.
Average parade in usa these guys just have swastika flags.
