The war started in 1939, not 1941, and definitely in ‘39 America was isolationist.

And the German American Bund was still an active organization all the way to 42’, but most were rounded up and sent to internment camps in Texas. BTW, little known fact, we were building 4 engine Bombers for the Brits in CA. Their bombers, not B-17, or B-24s. The Brits were on the ropes, we rushed what we had available to them. It included 100 destroyers of WW I vintage, in exchange for a naval base in the south Atlantic. The war was a blessing for the Arsenal of Democracy. Mass production of equipment for everyone without the fear of 24/7 bombings.
