Abstract
A most interesting and rather bizarre episode in the relationship of the Bund with the Deutsches Ausland-Institut was the decision of some Bund members to return to Germany in the years prior to the outbreak of the war with the United States in 1941. The number of Germans who returned to Germany in this period is rather difficult to determine, 1 however, there were enough of them who had held Bund membership in the United States to suggest the formation of some kind of club or organization, and thus was born the “Kameradschaft USA.” 2 The year was 1938.
