The introduction states that German Americans' "size of 50 million stands second to the 55 million Hispanics in the United States". This comparison suggests that German Americans and Hispanics are comparable groups, but surely the latter include people from a number of different national backgrounds, unlike the former? I haven't been able to check all of the sources cited, but the first lists German as the largest ancestry group, not listing Hispanic as an option. Cordless Larry ( talk) 06:49, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
This is ridiculous propaganda, Germany has always been a relatively wealthy country, and so for every American primarily of German descent there are a thousand, or more, of Polish descent, obviously! When Poles, and other nationalities from relatively poor central European countries, came to America they claimed to be of German descent because they realised they would be respected better if they did. I seriously doubt if German-Americans make up more than 0.0001% of the American population and probably number less than 50,000 in total. God you American are so disgustingly deluded about your ethnic origins. Grow up!!! There are more Americans of Albanian or Maltese origin than German! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.185.88.237 ( talk) 02:07, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
the Reliable sources consider German Jews to be Jewish Americans: 1) Michael V. Uschan, German Americans (2006) Page 15 https://books.google.com/books?isbn=0836873106 states: "From 1830 to the 1880s, another group fleeing religious persecution— Jews— swelled the numbers of German immigrants to the United States." 2) John Morton Blum - V was for Victory: Politics and American Culture During World War II (1976) https://books.google.com/books?isbn=0156936283 states: "During World War I, Jews in Germany remained loyal to the cause of the Fatherland, while German-Americans — Jews and gentiles, citizens and aliens — stood divided in their feelings about United States foreign policy." 3) Hans W. Eberhard, The History of the German Americans in Early Los Angeles City (2009) https://books.google.com/books?isbn=1441564888 states: "The Hebrew Benevolent Society The Los Angeles Hebrew Benevolent Society was founded by a German Jew, Joseph Newmark.35 Joseph Newmark came to Los Angeles in 1854 after having spent many years in Jewish religious work." 4) Rafael Medoff, Jewish Americans and Political Participation (2002) https://books.google.com/books?isbn=1576073149 states: "The Midwest was also alluring because many non-Jewish German immigrants were settling there....Jews had already become quite acculturated in Germany, and they felt comfortable among German- Americans."

There was a section on German language usage that assumed language is the only test of "assimilation" into American culture. I revised it to make clear that only language usage is covered --not the much broader question of assimilation. ("assimilation" into the US economy, US military, religion, intermarriage etc is a big topic). However four mysterious IP editors have repeatedly erased the original and revised section with no discussion here. user:179.6.199.197 user:91.236.35.189 user:95.76.3.133 and user:172.78.41.232 None of them has ever made a contribution to this page or related pages, so it looks suspicious. Meanwhile four actual editors have reversed their blanking-- myself, user:Favonian User:LiliCharlie, and user:Indyguy Finally user:Favonian has protected the page against what clearly is " Persistent disruptive editing".

In the section about Religion of German Americans there are these two lines. -
"Some 19th-century immigrants, especially the "Forty-Eighters", were secular, rejecting formal religion. About 250,000 German Jews had arrived by the 1870s, and they sponsored reform synagogues in many small cities across the country. About two million Central and Eastern European Jews arrived from the 1880s to 1924, bringing more traditional religious practices.[137]
Does this mean, that all Jews are considered to be German immigrants? - Or would it not better to include these lines into the article American Jews? - /info/en/?search=American_Jews — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:16B8:C148:9E00:11EA:CAC5:27B5:CD91 ( talk) 15:46, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
I've reverted an
to this article that had changed "a smaller group of newer postwar arrivals had developed a vocal if not impolitic interest in the rebuilding process in Germany under
Nazism" to "a smaller group of newer postwar arrivals had developed a vocal if not impolitic interest in the rebuilding process in Germany under
National Socialism".
National Socialism is a redirect to
Nazism and the latter is the more commonly used name for that movement in English. If there's an argument for the change, it should now be made here at
Talk:Nazism.
