I've always wondered how the Klan of the 20's 30's and 40's in the US felt about the Nazi's. On the one hand, i'm sure the KKK and the Nazi's would agree on racial policy (no duh) and would support them on that front.
However, would the Klan in the 40's really support a group of foreign ex-Catholics who wanted to take over against America (since the Klan in the old days was a very patriotic organization)
Were there any instances of Southerners and or KKK members who supported the Nazi's in the US. I haven't heard about any pro german us groups except for Fritz Kuhn and the German American Bund
However, would the Klan in the 40's really support a group of foreign ex-Catholics
Could you clarify what you mean by this statement?
While there would have been ex-Catholic (and probably even ostensibly Catholic) Nazis, I think it is a bit odd to classify the entire movement as being a "group of foreign ex-Catholics", especially when one considers that the relationship between the Catholic Church in Germany and the Nazi Party was far from harmonious (the Germans killed thousands of clergy in Poland, for example). Given the several public clashes between the Church and the Nazis in Germany during the 30s, I doubt anyone would have associated the movement as being pro-Catholic or sympathetic to Catholicism in any manner of fashion.

Is the Klan Catholic? New to me I would have assumed they are Protestants.
