"Why German-American Nationalism?"

As a roughly half German-American myself, I strongly agree with this concept.

I have long admired the Italian-Americans for how they held their ethno-cultural identity together in America.

They still encourage their kids to strictly marry other Italians. They keep the food traditions alive. And even if not the full language, they have almost their own dialect with Italian words and influence on the cadence of their speech.

The two WWs did a number on German-American identity (and German identity in Germany). But, Italy was their ally and they have not been punished nearly as severely (neither have the Japanese).
