It's interesting that there were germans involved in the american revolution on both sides. the english had hessian mercenaries and the americans had Baron von Steuben who drilled the continental army in prussian style.

@lovemaker1972 You are absolutely right. Sadly many Americans don't know that.

Thanks for your comment.

By the way: I'm not American I am German.
