It is quite common- -the rule, actually- -for nations to detains nationals of a country they are at war with. That doesn't cover the situation of American citizens of Japanese ancestry who were interned. Or American citizens of German or Italian ancestry who weren't. My father-in-law (a "German-American" if you use the criteria for African-Americans, Native-Americans, and Japanese-Americans) whose surname is as common "Smith" or "Jones" in Germany, was too busy dropping bombs out of a B-17 to be considered for internment in the US. However, the Germans did not see it that way and put him in Stalag 3 for two years. A "Nisei" (Japanese-American) regiment (?- -don't have time to google to get the unit size) fought in Italy in WW2 and was the single most decorated regiment of the war.
