PR Purposes

Prior to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the Nazi's rise to power:
  • The abbreviation for the top commander of the United States fleet was CINCUS (Commander-in-Chief, United States Fleet), which was pronounced "Sink Us"
  • Adolf Hitler's Special Train was named Amerika
  • The 45th Infantry Division of the United States Army had a shoulder sleeve insignia that featured a swastika
All three were changed soon thereafter.
