This Happened In America...
Sixty years ago:
• A military tribunal begins at the Justice Department for eight accused Nazi saboteurs who had landed by U-boat in New York and Florida. The streets of Washington fill with onlookers shouting "There go the spies!" and "Nazi rats!" as military vehicles transport the Germans from the D.C. Jail to the Justice Department and back. Shortly afterward, the department issues orders for the dismissal of German, Italian and Japanese waiters, barbers and busboys in the Washington area, for fear they might overhear gossip from high-placed officials.
Believe it, or not.
