Were they on the coast? The Japanese that were interred were the coastal

IIRC the Americans... yes, native born Americans of Japanese descent...
interned during WW2 were not only from the West Coast.

German subs got as close as a few miles off the coast of NJ & LI.


Heck yeah, there was a German sub sunk at the mouth of the Potomac River! ;



Supposedly there's another one sunk off the coast of N.J.. My father
grew up in Atlantic City and used to tell me about sighting "U-Boats"
off the coast. One of his favorite wrecks to fish there was sunk as a
result of those subs.

The people had to have dark curtains hung over their windows at night,
and there were strict curfews. This was a part of those "rights" they
were suspended during the war.....
