I've only seen a couple. I got the impression he wasn't keen on the idea of
moving to the USA.

That's certainly worthy of debate.

Most likely Nazi Germany. Nazi was short for
Nationalsozialismus, which is translated usually as
"National Socialist".

The full name of Hitler's Party was "Nationalsozialistische
Deutsche Arbeiterpartei", or NSDAP; in English National
Socialist German Workers Party.

Of course it gets complicated; according to Wiki
there was also a Social Democratic Party of Germany
(Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands).

They weren't really socialists though and were profoundly anti-Communist.

Apparently the literal translation is misleading.

There is an SDP there now still.
