American Fascists were ready to receive Hitler with a bunker built in this major American city.
People don't often realize (or don't want to think about the fact) that Hitler did have American supporters.
When he was first gaining power in Germany and taking over parts of Europe, there were Americans who hoped for his success.
These Nazis were so serious and so dedicated that they decided to build Hitler a bunker on American soil.
They pooled funds and purchased a 55 acre ranch for $4 million (or $66 million today) outside Los Angeles. On it, they built a power plant, meat locker, 375,000 water tank, a bomb shelter and 22-bedroom building.
The day after Pearl Harbor, police raided the shelter and arrested all Nazis within. Today, the ruins are covered in graffiti. They will soon be demolished to make the area into a park.
