Question

Why did the germans call the u.s. soldiers ""ny gangsters?""

Answer 1

I couldn't find any reliable sources to support that claim. It's possible that some Germans may have used that term to describe American soldiers during World War II, but I can't confirm that.

Answer 2

The term "NY Gangsters" was a nickname given to US soldiers by the Germans during World War II. It was a disparaging term that implied the American soldiers were thugs and criminals. The term was likely derived from the popular culture of gangsters in the US in the 1920s and 1930s, which was perpetuated by Hollywood films.
