Cancel culture nothing. You need to educate yourself about Charles. Plenty has been written about his Nazi sympathies. He destroyed his reputation with his antisemitism and his favorable opinion of Hitler and Germany. Even the Smithsonian channel highlights this and calls him a Nazi sympathizer.
In addition to his autobiography, I’ve read 2 acclaimed biographies of Lindbergh. Lindbergh was without doubt a flawed and failed human being.
Yes, Lindbergh once expressed some comments that could be construed as anti-Semitic — as did many men of that day — but Lindbergh had no sympathies for Nazism as is frequently claimed by many historians. Yet Lindbergh’s main sin was he was an outspoken critic of Roosevelt’s New Deal and publicly stated that he believed the progressive hero FDR was secretly maneuvering to embroil the United States into another European war.
Viewing Lindbergh as a political rival, FDR held a grudge against him and would not allow the Army to reinstate Lindbergh’s commission after the United States declared war on Japan. Yet undaunted, Lindbergh was hired by the Army Air Corps as a civilian contractor and pilot, quietly helping to develop such notable airplanes as the Army B-24 Liberator, the P-47 Thunderbolt and the Navy F4U Corsair.
It is you who should educate yourself and quit lapping up agit-prop from the Smithsonian Institute — a “woke” bastion of political correctness if one ever existed. A good starting point would be Lindberg by A. Scott Berg.

Thank you for that - He was a hero of mine as a child growing up in the late 40s - then in college I learned about his NAZI tendencies and felt betrayed. Never did any research but never heard a defense of him until /\ this /\ post
I need to do some reading - thanks for the input ===> one way or the other.
