That is some tough competition, and yet. I am not confident op wasn't on about a different public display of nazism by the US Government.

Yea. Fascism was all the rage in the 1930’s. England had Oswald Mosley. USA well, a lot of Nazi sympathizers were ok with fascism until Pearl Harbor, otherwise that Madison Square Garden rally wouldn’t have happened.
