My grandmother grew up near a plot of rural Texan federal farmland that was used first for Japanese internment starting in 1941, then after a year or so instead became used for captured Nazi POWs. They would grow oranges (Satsumas). She told me she suspects the reason it changed to housing German soldiers was because the locals would drive past the place and throw eggs at the Japanese-Americans. Unsurprisingly the locals had much less of a problem with captured Germans.
I'm 100% certain a bunch of those captured Nazis moved to the area after the war. A lot of my classmates had suspiciously German last names and a completely blank family history.
On the other hand, Hill country in Texas (an hour or two West of Austin) got a lot of 48ers from Prussia who were pretty cool, Marx considered moving there as well before settling in London. So they might not be Nazi's kids (though it's certainly possible)

Fascism was never defeated, huh
