Karl H. von Wiegand, an American journalist, met Hitler first in 1921. Poland was invaded on 1 September, 1939 by the Third Reich. A month after Germany invaded France in World War II, on June 11, 1940, he secured another interview with Hitler. He's the only American who had the chance to interview Hitler.
Not only that, but US companies such as Ford and IBM continued to do business with Germany well into the war. And of course, we shouldn't forget that nazis were directly inspired by US race laws, but initially even they found them to be too extreme.
