Stephen A. Day as a Nazi dupe at best and perhaps a Nazi Propagandist and supporter at worst.[edit]
Just been reading the John O. Rogge book "The Official German Report: Nazi Penetration 1924-1942" (which was not easy to find btw, since it wasn't published until 1961-'62, and didn't sell well since the world had 'moved on' so to speak), but it is startling.
Also, it is one of the major source materials for Rachel Maddow's Podcast "Ultra", which describes the widespread extent of the Nazi Propaganda and influence-peddling operations beginning even before Hitler took Power and only winding down after Pearl Harbor and the US entry into the war. A sedition trial also happened after the period covered in this book, but it is covered extensively in the "Ultra" podcast.
Congressman Day was a significant instrument of this propaganda and influence program according to this book, and his current Wikipedia profile could be seen as a positive and glowing account of his political/legal career without including this vital information and historical truth. In fact he regularly read Nazi propaganda into the Congressional Record and then sought copies in order to distribute this propaganda with 'Official', 'Governmental' imprimatur through the use of his official and free mailing Franking Privilege. Indeed in the book many other Congressmen and Senators are documented as also having done this exact same thing, Nazi dupes at best and at worst active and willing fascists, one and all.... 73.44.60.5 (talk) 16:26, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
