Fritz Julius Kuhn (May 15, 1896 – December 14, 1951) was a German Nazi activist who served as the elected leader of the German American Bund before World War II. He became a naturalized United States citizen in 1934. Still, his citizenship was canceled in 1943 owing to his status as a foreign agent of Nazi Germany.[2] Kuhn served prison time for larceny and forgery from 1939 to 1943 and, upon release, was immediately interned by the federal government as an enemy agent.[3][2] He was deported in 1945 and later served further prison time in post-war Germany before dying in 1951.[1]
