Her name was Marlene Dietrich and she was the biggest traitor of them all. Her slogan was "Nie wieder Deutschland!" (Never again Germany!).

Never again Marlene Dietrich!

Marlene Dietrich chose to betray her country in favor of the USA and refused to return, recorded anti-NS songs, entertained the yankee troops, had Jewish friends, was probably bisexual and God knows whatelse. Her actions proved that trash is universal.

Eh, celebrities. She wouldn't even become a celebrity if she had
been a morally sound and principled person.

What hit me was that she was available for all sorts of Entertainment for the USA troopers, she made exhibitions in which she was in middle of the crowd with all sailors putting hands everywere. The High command said she was necessary to support the moral of the troops and her voice was realy strong for this aim.
She was sent also in the Eastern front for propaganda anti-japs, i was surprised to hear that she reclaimed that was waiting the Japanese for pushing USA in the war and "terminating" the dictatorship of Germany in few months.
Due to her hate for the Reich she arrived on a US Army Jeep in germany just when the lines of the ARmy arrived in Germany regardless to the situation of deep pain and destruction of the mass bombings which the country suffered.

But she was active on the radio too in the Navy against Japan and she visited ships too in the war operations in Pacific.

I don't understand why, she was famous even in germany, she had possibility to be a star n germany too and the Reich was ready to host her again even if she was living in USA since years before Hitler's power.
She never missed the favour of Germans and she didn't need to be a superamerican for having Luck in Germany.
So no personal issue justified this behaviour, she hadn't such problems in Germany but she splited germans with Humiliation of seeing her in US uniform beside an US commander on a militar vehicle between ruins and deads. I saw on the documentary, it was unbelieveble.

But she did it by her own without any matter neither for politics nor for personal prosecutions in the Reich
