He was the spokes person for the America first comitee, he aligned with the rhetoric and he accepted a medal from Göring…he wasn’t a Nazi only in name but he said some pretty fucking Nazi shit bro
Yeah and FDR and many others had open admiration for Hitler and the Nazi party and it was reciprocal. The “American First” committee was anti-interventionist, but not inherently pro-Nazi, but its opponents framed it to look as if you were pro-Nazi, if you didn’t support entering WWII.
I’m not really sure if you read literally anything I said, but yes, a large part of the country were actually quite fond of Nazi’s in the 30’s. This all ended after we entered WWII. Lindbergh even voiced his support for the war (against the Nazi’s) eventually.
Let’s just ignore that people tried to overthrow the government to replace it with fascists, that we gave all the fascist scientists we could lay our hands on top positions within government, and that the current Secretary of “War” has Nazi tattoos.
The business plot? He absolutely was. He also toured the Third Reich extensively and spoke on its behalf at functions all over America.
After the war he stayed incredibly active in aviation, where he worked closely with a whole lot guys with thick accents who’d also spent a lot of time adoring a failed painter.
America First Committee was pro-Neutrality not pro-Nazi if the public wanted the US to enter the war to back Germany they’d have been against it too.
To be fair, Jewish scammers run rampant in America. I am a second generation victim of Jewish scammers after Bernie Madoff scammed my grandparents and Sam Bankman scammed me. He was probably victim to one, too.Â
In the months before the United States entered World War II, Lindbergh's non-interventionist stance and statements about Jews and race led many to believe he was a Nazi sympathizer. Lindbergh never publicly stated support for the Nazis and condemned them several times in both his public speeches and personal diary, but associated with them on numerous occasions in the 1930s. He also supported the isolationist America First Committee and resigned from the U.S. Army Air Corps in April 1941 after President Franklin Roosevelt publicly rebuked him for his views.[7] In September 1941, Lindbergh gave a significant address, titled "Speech on Neutrality", outlining his position and arguments against greater American involvement in the war.[8]
Lindbergh considered Russia a "semi-Asiatic" country compared to Germany, and he believed Communism was an ideology that would destroy the West's "racial strength" and replace everyone of European descent with "a pressing sea of Yellow, Black, and Brown". He stated that if he had to choose, he would rather see America allied with Nazi Germany than Soviet Russia. He preferred Nordics, but he believed, after Soviet Communism was defeated, Russia would be a valuable ally against potential aggression from East Asia.[226][231]
These paragraphs above are from his wikipedia. One should note there is an entire section of it dedicated to his anti-Semitism and political beliefs.
There’s a reason he didn’t fight in Europe and he fought in the pacific. He may have also killed his own child. After which he went to Germany and fathered several children through various affairs. He was friends with Alexis Carrel and they worked on the perfusion pump together. The reasoning of this may have been based on their shared support for eugenics. Alexis is known supporter of eugenics and several of Lindberghs speeches and talks reflect white supremacy ideology. While he may not have been a “Nazi” he certainly shared many of their beliefs. You are the company you keep you know
Edit: some folks really aren’t capable of their worldview being challenged

Ford was not a Nazi, per se. Just an awful anti-semite, which is what caught the Nazi's attention.
Ford did as much, or more, to fight the Nazi's than anyone else. His Willow Run factory (which went under construction in late 1940) to build B-24's eventually was cranking out one B-24 every 63 minutes, 24 hours a day. More B-24's were built than any other American aircraft, fighter or bomber, period. Not to mention the tanks, jeeps, etc.
Both Charles Lindbergh and Henry Ford accepted medals from Nazi Germany: Lindbergh got the Service Cross in 1938; Ford got the Grand Cross in the same year.
Ford was a virulent anti-semite. Even had a newspaper dedicated to spreading lies about Judaism. Ford was a major producer of cars and later trucks in Germany, prior to the war, starting in the mid 1920s. But he did not support or defend Hitler's attacks on nearby countries. The Ford factories were absorbed and taken over by the nation during the war.
Lindbergh was a leading part in the fascist movement of the "America First" movement, which was primarily focused on anti-Judasim and anti-interventionist ideals--even to the point of attacking our efforts pre-war to support Britain with needed supplies, and the Lend Lease program. He was seen, largely, by the public as openly supporting the Nazi movement, and resigned from the Army Air Office when Roosevelt accused him of being a supporter of the Nazi regime.
The Nazis handed out about 50 of these awards to various foreign dignitaries. Including one to James Mooney, then President of General Motors Overseas production. Opel, owned by GM, was a major producer of German cars and trucks. Their factories were also confiscated by the Nazis when war broke out. In 1940, Mooney moved to prepare GM for production of all wartime material in the US.
Haha, I guess I have to ask "What have you done for the world?" aside from degredating historical greats? I think everyone knows the answer to that one.

He crossed the Atlantic to become a Nazi.
He wasn’t a Nazi he was only against foreign intervention. It’s insane how this sub manages to be intellectually worse than the US History sub.
He was the spokes person for the America first comitee, he aligned with the rhetoric and he accepted a medal from Göring…he wasn’t a Nazi only in name but he said some pretty fucking Nazi shit bro
"I'm not a Nazi. I just attend all the Nazi rallies as an invited special honoree."

BS.
Read this text and tell me how many times he sucks up to Germany and the rest of the Axis.

Their events featured speakers from the Nazi party. Stop.

Was Lindbergh part of that?

After the war he stayed incredibly active in aviation, where he worked closely with a whole lot guys with thick accents who’d also spent a lot of time adoring a failed painter.
Lindbergh tried to help overthrow the government?
No nazi never called me a mayo monkey
People who levy insults at a mirror should seek mental aid.
Rude
America First Committee was pro-Neutrality not pro-Nazi if the public wanted the US to enter the war to back Germany they’d have been against it too.
Did not Nazi that coming from Linderbergh huh.
Instead of agitating for war, the Jewish groups in this country should be opposing it in every possible way.
Their greatest danger to this country lies in their large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio, and our government
I am saying that the leaders of the Jewish race wish us to enter the war for reasons which are not American.
The three most important groups who have been pressing this country toward war are the British, the Jewish, and the Roosevelt Administration.
Statement 1 and 4 were factually correct
And ordered the kidnapping of his own child because he had disabilities and that didn’t align with his eugenics beliefs… allegedly
Knew someone would invoke this.
To be fair, Jewish scammers run rampant in America. I am a second generation victim of Jewish scammers after Bernie Madoff scammed my grandparents and Sam Bankman scammed me. He was probably victim to one, too.Â
Bro, all sorts of scammers run rampant in America, and Americans are very gullible.
We are gullible to think those things can be trusted.Â
You give (((us))) way too much credit.
Whats that got to do with Lindy being a nazi?Â
Maybe that’s why he became one in the first place. Everyone has their reasons.Â
“To be fair, I come from a long line of gullible morons”
Yup. Lesson learned. They showed their true colors.Â
Wow. This is some Antisemitic bs right here. How is this comment okay?!
It's a bot account
Because it’s true. Because it actually happened. It’s reality, not some manufactured fabrication to support a stereotype
"Some people become Nazis because Jewish scammers" is a pretty crazy line for though to apply widely lmao.
One of the biggest con man in American history is president right now and is a "Christian."
Donald Trump is not a Christian.Â
Do they? What a completely unbiased and completely normal thing to say.
The racist guy?
You’re gonna be really upset when you find out how many racist people there were in 1930
You’re going to be upset when you find out that we are all racist, at anytime line. Most of us just a little. :)
He was also a Nazi sympathizer
This is absolutely not true. Educate yourself on who he was and what he said and did.
He was definitely for staying out of the war. Which would have helped the Nazi’s win the war in Europe.
Lindberg was even presented with the Service Cross of the German Eagle on behalf of Adolf Hitler.
So I guess “technically” you’re right. However, the world would be very different now and NOT for the better.

How did you get down voted for this comment?
It's reddit. It happens.
Yeah, he wasn't a nazi literally, but he was definitely a white supremacist.
Presentism: judging everyone of the past by today’s standards. Learn about it.
His views were unpopular at the time by many - he was championed by the nazis for a reason. These were facts.
Learn about it.
I’ve read two books on the man. He made tremendous contributions to modern society. More than your sorry ass will ever do.
He absolutely did - also has nothing to do it he was a supremacist or not.
Majority of people in American in 1930 were lmao
Well he was definitely a racist asshole
Haha, I guess I have to ask "What have you done for the world?" aside from degredating historical greats? I think everyone knows the answer to that one.
Lol ok
Fucking nazi
And Lindbergh was a Nazi sympathizer. Some of his pals almost got away with a coup. Real American hero Smedley Butler stopped it.
I will always raise a glass to Smedley Butler.
He's problematic at least. Theres a reason the government only let him fly in the Pacific. And there's a good chance he killed his own baby.
There's about as much chance of that as there is than NASA faked the moon landings.
The same year my Dad was born, and still kicks.
Just 12 years after the first rocket to place something in space, Sputnik in 1957, we had landed men on the moon.
I cannot get passed his Extreme Racist/ Pro Nazi Views
Yeah, and then he went on to disgrace himself by becoming one of America’s most notorious Nazi apologists...
But sure, all glory to the “American Empire”🙄
Too bad he turned into a nazi.
“Just 23 years”??? That’s a long fucking timeÂ
He’s also the first nazi who killed his kid to make a transatlantic flight but everyone always overlooks that accomplishmentÂ
Uh......no.
My favorite part about quoting history is the finding the people who dislike the reveal of nazis.Â
Everyone knows the Lindberg baby was actually Grandpa Simpson
If he's good enough for Lindy, he's good enough for me!
I've heard of this guy. He was the first baby to pilot an aircraft. Remarkable.
