You noted that my plot "need not even be the Bund, but rather any secret organization."
Not really, before the 20s/30s books weren't as abundant and as inexpensive for anyone to buy, afterwards espionage and secret signal/messages to cells (especially during and after wartime) were far more sophisticated. The era of the late 30s and the American/German Bund was just perfect for my plot. It may not work in other circumstances.
I'm still not sure that the German-American Bund would have wanted to risk exposure of anything secret at the time (they had the facade of trying to avoid any direct connection with Hitler), which is why I was somewhat reluctant, I suppose...
Still, your solution is brilliant, in my opinion.
