From what iv'e herd, the Germans called Americans "Yanke Bastards" They called them "amis"... when I was a little child I was always wondering, because I thought that was familiar with the french amis for friends, what would have been unlogical though. "Amis" was the simple abbreviation for "Amerikaner".
