> In WWII, the enemy of the U.S. should have been not only Japan but also Nazi Germany, which was a strong enemy, but for some reason only Japanese Americans living in the U.S. were forcibly segregated/incarcerated.


I read somewhere long ago that German soldiers were hesitant to kill because they looked like them, but the Japanese were not so difficult because they did not look like them.
The forced segregation of Germans was also difficult because it was hard to judge from a quick look if they were of Anglo-Saxon descent, and there were so many immigrants that they were not non-Japanese.

I didn't know its exact name but I knew about the 442nd Infantry Regiment, an all Japanese American regiment, before I moved to America. When I was a high school student in Japan, there were many American movies on TV, especially "Combat" and "Gallant Men" that my father and I were crazy about.

One of the stories was about a unit of only Japanese Americans who, in the middle of the night, rushed into the German army with only their bare hands and no weapons to fire, and rescued an American soldier who was being held captive. Perhaps this was the "442nd Infantry Regiment".
