The round up of Americans of German decent began when, exactly?

Pat, Please...the answer is pure and obvious practicality, Germanic descendants were a very important element of our military economic and scientific network. They were too many and too valuable. In 1941 the Japanese were a small enough community and easy to physically identify making internment a workable option. a very unfortunate situation for the Japanese pop. At the time many Germanics in the US began to identify with the Dutch. Japanese and Germanics have served our country well and our nation owes them at least a salute of gratitude.
