>>As for the "cultural nature" of Germans, <<

Okay, so I garbled my meaning. Maybe 'psyche' was the term I needed.

According to this 1997 source, in 1780, 75% were English or Irish and the strong German immigration began occurring in the Civil War era.... 22% of the US today had German origins.

Of course, the simplest explanation of anti-immigrant feeling that could give rise to fascism is the sheer numbers immigrating at a particular time: sru.edu

Competition for jobs and control of neighborhoods could make a population ripe for exploitation by those with a fascist agenda.

Germany had a certain form of high culture

Germany was admired as the "Fountain of Philosophy" in the 19th Century, and our leading Intellectuals went there to study if they could. I have read that the largest ethnic immigrant group in this country at the start of WWI was German.
