How did the Ku Klux Klan react to America entering World War Two?

by iobraska

On the one hand, they obviously were very patriotic and pro america, and against foreign powers, but they most certainly would have agreed with the racial views of the Nazis. So did the Klan openly sympethize with the nazis?

Also, how come nazi imagery became associated with white supremacy. I can't remember where but I swear I saw a photo of someone holding a swastika placard at a civil rights rally in the 60's, which seems strange since many of the major white supremacists were proud World War Two veterans, such as George Wallace.
