The United States government initially maintained a policy of “wait and see” in regards to the Nazi German government. Despite some criticism and reports from Europe about Hitler’s increasingly oppressive actions, there was still a significant portion of the American public that had positive views of Germany, viewing them as modern or “racial pioneers”.

President Roosevelt’s administration viewed events in Europe more critically and began taking steps to prepare America for potential involvement in World War II. On October 13th 1940, Britain received its first convoy of desperately needed war supplies after an act passed by the US Congress allowed Allied supplies to enter Britain at its greatest risk of Nazi attack - the so-called “crack” convoys. After months and years passing while preparations were made for an US commitment to combat fascism, President Roosevelt finally outlined his plan for aid from the nation's resources on May 27th 1941—the so-called “Lend-Lease” Act—formally committing America to join the fight against Nazi Germany. This move officially changed how Germany was perceived worldwide but it did not necessarily immediately lead Americans towards enlistment or active aid during wartime activities.

In April 1945 president Truman signed Public Law #608—formally ending hostilities between Germany and Allied forces - effectively ending World War II one week prior to Germany’s surrender on May 8th (or as it is better known "Victory in Europe" day). After this momentous occasion the United States was ableto impose diplomatic conditions on post-war Germany leadingto major reconstruction initiatives which ultimately lead toward European rehabilitation with massive support from America’s political leadership under Truman and Eisenhower. This marks also what could be considered as official reconnection with Germans due too longterm peace policies after WW II; paving way for post war economic miracle under social democrats such s Kiesinger etc soon after West German chancellor Adenauer came into power shortly following VE day victory over fascist/Nazi occupation forces led by Adolf Hitler previously back then - marking now new dawn beginning once again ever since late ’40ies! It will truly bring many hopes & aspirations ahead especially with US aid & support helping make ‘Realm resurrection happen at end day – let us rejoice& cheer!

The US government viewed Nazi Germany as a major threat during the Second World War. The United States had officially declared war on Germany in 1941, and provided material and financial support to the Allied nations. Additionally, the US government launched a public campaign called the war-time enemies program which asked Americans to assist in denying aid and resources to Nazi Germany. Furthermore, President Roosevelt even organized a Teheran Conference with Churchill and Soviet leader Joseph Stalin in order to jointly coordinate strategy towards defeating the Axis powers.
