The Untold History of German America (Deutschamerikaner)

“Americans make very poor Germans, but Germans make very good Americans...perhaps the best” -Henry Miller

Imagine how many relativies killed each other during war without knowing they are family of the same heritage.

Toller Beitrag! Ich bin hier geboren, also in den USA. Mein Urgrossvater kam schon 1863 aus Arzberg im Fichtelgebirge hier an. Ich bin also in der 4. Generation und pfege hier immer noch einen deutschen Lebensstil. Alles Gute, Leutchen!

As a German, all the positive comments make me feel good. Gettings from Bavaria 🇩🇪🇺🇸🇩🇪🇺🇸

The capital of North Dakota is Bismarck. That's about as German as it gets. The culture is still very strong here.

Capital of Kentucky is Frankfurt, North Dakota Capital is Bismarck

Thank you German Americans for beer, hamburgers, hotdogs, Christmas trees, and kindergarten!

As a Deutsch-Americaner who has just recently started discovering my heritage, I really appreciate people like yourself who help spread the word. It's sad that we've lost our national identity, but I'm glad that it wasn't forgotten.

The Pennsylvania Dutch are called Dutch because the English speaking people misinterpeted "Deutsch"

Fun fact: German-Americans were first to officially oppose slavery

This is an amazing video on German ancestry in America! I am (What I consider as) Dutch/German-American. My moms side was 100% Dutch, her parents came to America in the 1950s for 'The American Dream' after surviving WWII. My family comes from the German area of central Texas from my dads side. My Grandfather was 100% Deutsch, as well as his family members, but my Grandmother was an entire mix. I am told I have German relatives out there that I do not know about. Apparently my Great Grandparents on my Dads side could speak Deutsch fluently, but my Grandfather and Dad never picked it up. My family also dropped speaking Deutsch after WWII. My German Grandfather spoke of a prince that came from a German Kingdom who had the last name of Friesenhahn, whom settled in Texas before it was a state, along with other Friesenhahn's. That is the reason why my last name on my Dads side was never 'Americanized'. If you happen to go to Houston Texas area, you will hopefully see lots of Friesenhahn's. My family's history with Religion is a bit different than to most German-Americans. As you where saying, they had a few different faiths, notably; Protestant. Considering my German ancestry, the Germans in Texas (Im told) where primarily Catholic Christians compared to around the country. Im currently learning Deutsch and am proud about my Heritage despite what they still say. I have to say, the oppression of German Americans after and during the World Wars needs to be known about, and not shut up by the main stream media. Danke fur ein wunderschones video! Haben ein guten tag, und Gott segne! :D

Though it is fast disappearing, you can still hear the local dialect of German spoken in Texas. It is its own dialect. Completely separate and distinct from any spoken in Europe today. You have to go to places like new Braunfels and Fredericksburg to hear it. But, you still find it from time to time.

The flag you designed looks amazing.

Isn't ironic that in WW2 the supreme commander of the Allied Forces in Europe and head of the invasion of Germany was Eisenhower, a Pennsylvania Dutch?

Well, many English are of German decent . In fact, if you are English and can trace your roots back to the 10th century; you almost certainly are in fact German.

Ein berührender Beitrag, der den Einfluss der Werte deutscher Einwanderer in den USA deutlich macht.
