Answer 1

Prescott Bush was indeed directly linked to the funding of the Nazi war machine. He and the companies he worked for like Standard Oil and Brown Brothers Harriman still did business with the Nazis even after WWII began. This was not a passive investment on Prescott's part but he was intimately involved in the process.

Later, under the Trading with the Enemy act, the government seized the Union Banking Corp. that Prescott was not only the director of but was also a primary share holder along with E. Roland Harriman (of Brown Brothers Harriman) and confirmed nazi executives.

In Oct. of 1942 the government ordered the seizure of 2 Nazi front organnizations ran by Bush-Harriman bank.

Prescott was also a director of the Harriman Fifteen Corporation which owned about a third of the Consolidated Silesian Steel Corporation. The rest was owned by Friedrich Flick, a member of Himmler's "Circle of Friends" who donated to the S.S.

Then sitting president FDR's Alien Property Custodian Leo Crowley signed a vesting order to seize the property of Prescott Bush also under the Trading with the Enemy Act.

Even Prescott's father, Samuel Bush, owned a company called Buckeye Steel Castings Co. which made parts for the Harriman brothers' father's railroads. Harriman's financing for the railroads came largely from William Rockefeller. These shipped the oil of his brother John D. Rockefeller, the founder of Standard Oil.

Answer 2

Prescott Bush was an investor in Germany's coal and
other raw materials.He didn't condone nazism.He was
an investor in business ventures.He had nothing to do with Hitler's rise to power,but did realize that if the communists
in Poland succeeded in driving German businesses out of
Poland(Where Germany had coal mines)he would lose a
lot of money.So He supported National Socialists over
Communism.Is that so bad?

Answer 3

Prescott Bush had indeed heavy dealings with the Nazi regime. The Bush family is deeply indebted to the Jews, because Prescott Bush tied up a deal for the delivery of the steel that was used to build the railway tracks to Auschwitz. The Bush family has millions of gallons of Jewish blood on their hands.

The Jews own the Bushes and they make that clear every chance they get.

Answer 4

Did you know a Nazi general was appointed to be a UN ambassador in the 1960s. Just to let you know, plus it says in the first paragraph, he was a shareholder, of a company, that profited from financial backers of Germany. What does that mean? He bought a stock from a company that probably produced weapons and other such war equiptment and that Germany bought some of these such. I like the almost invisible link.

So does that mean, if I buy a stock for a company, and the company decides to fire someone working for them, does that mean i share part of the blame for the worker being fired?

Answer 5

What I think about it is that this "question" has been asked and "answered" about 10,000 times already; find something NEW to "ask", please.

And, I DO hope you're aware that the Guardian makes the NY Times look like a moderately right rag.
