      @@jurjitsingh3728 Historically, the Founding Fathers who founded the 13 Colonies were all Anglo-Americans and most of them were apart of the Anglican-Episcopal Church of the USA, so they spoke English. America is influenced by the British Empire and with some Celts from the Scots, Welsh, and Irish. They spoke with English accents just like the English did. They started to invent American English in the early 1800s, or maybe after the War of 1812 to become different from the English.

      Friendship between former Enemies, especially Americans and Germans was very common after WW2.
      I know that out of first hand experience as a German who grew up with a whole Family of WW2 Veterans from the Waffen-SS (not Allgemeine SS) to the Wehrmacht, Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe. I grew up in a Town with a US Military Base and my Relatives often had their former American "Enemies" over for BBQ in the Summer.
      Those were usually American WW2 Vets who decided to stay in Germany after being stationed here. Often moving their Wives (and in some cases also Kids) over here.
      To this day one of my Grandfathers who was a Wehrmacht and later Waffen-SS Soldier and fought Americans in the Battle of the Bulge (Ardennenoffensive) is alive, he turned 100 on the 2nd September. Only one of those former American "Enemies" and now Friends is still alive at 98. They don't meet much anymore for obvious Reasons, but they're still Friends

    Quite happy my family didn’t turn out like this.. my Great Grandpa was pretty much ethnic German minus the fact he was born in America, his parents were both fully German.. in ‘41 he joined the U.S. Army to join the infantry, but during boot-camp he was hurt because another trainee had fallen on top of him. He spent a few weeks in the hospital and recovering due to him tearing something.. once he returned they had to cut him because the unit was full with 32 men.. and he was one of the 5 cut off because of his weeks in hospital and his last name started with Z.. so he joined the Army Air Corps.. he flew in the European Theatre of the war, and returned home safely where he had my Nana in the late 50’s..
    RIP Grandpa.

To run home Canadians when given the right equipment American or British they're one of formidable fighting groups Germany have a hard time with besides Soviet soldiers who are rightfully blood rage in language and British Gurkhas.

He told me one time he grabbed a German soldier around the time of the Bulge......got him back to their rear area and started talking to him.....turns out he was from Wisconsin, about an hour or two from our town here in NE Iowa. Same deal as mentioned here- the parents packed up and moved to Germany in 39'. He spoke perfect english, graduated from high school in Wisconsin, and moved with the family. After the war and spending time in an American POW camp, the guy from Wisconsin moved back here and he and my old friend became lifelong friends. My older friend met a german girl at the end of the war and he brought her home after they did their hitch occupying Germany after the war.

    My grandparents emigrated from Germany to the US in the mid-30s. When the US joined the war my grandfather was drafted and sent to Africa to fight. When it came to invade Italy they sent him home because he was a full blooded German and the Army didn't want to cause an incident (someone thinking he's a spy, him defecting to the other side, etc) so they sent him home.

The ones who deserted during the war were court martialed and hung when the American flag was raised over Chipaltec(?) after it was captured. Mass execution under Winfield Scott's direct orders.

      That's the story of my neighbour, Mr Kessler.
