midwestern towns with German names where German was the primary language for decades


That's our family. Grandparents were brought up in German speaking households, German newspapers, etc. WW1 changed that and German-Americans gave up their culture and became "American" because they didn't want to be traitors and be seen as supporting the Kaiser. Some even changed their last names.

I kind of wish I had my German culture back. I've been trying to learn to speak German and my kids as well. We make traditional German foods, etc. as well.
