Answer 1

~Depending on the years and the goods involved, that varied.

However, it is clear who managed Nazi financial interests in the United States. Prescott Bush, father of George Herbert Walker Bush and grandfather of George Walker Bush was director or front man for several Nazi banking operations well into the war. The main conduit was Brown Brothers Harriman, wherein Prescott Bush was managing partner. Even as Georgie the elder was training with the navy, the US government was seizing Nazi assets being invested and managed by his daddy, with the profits being applied to the Nazi war machine and to the Final Solution.

Almost a year into the war, on Oct. 20, 1942, the U.S. government ordered the seizure of Nazi German banking operations in New York City which were being conducted by Prescott Bush.

By Oct. 26, 1942, U.S. troops were under way for North Africa. On Oct. 28, the government issued orders seizing two Nazi front organizations run by the Bush-Harriman bank: the Holland-American Trading Corporation and the Seamless Steel Equipment Corporation.

U.S. forces landed under fire near Algiers on Nov. 8, 1942; heavy combat raged throughout November. Nazi interests in the Silesian-American Corporation, long managed by Prescott Bush and his father-in-law George Herbert Walker, were seized under the Trading with the Enemy Act on Nov. 17, 1942. In this action, the government announced that it was seizing only the Nazi interests, leaving the Nazis' U.S. partners to carry on the business.

These and other actions taken by the U.S. government in wartime were, tragically, too little and too late. President Bush's family had already played a central role in financing and arming Adolf Hitler for his takeover of Germany; in financing and managing the buildup of Nazi war industries for the conquest of Europe and war against the U.S.A.; and in the development of Nazi genocide theories and racial propaganda, with their well-known results.

For all their neocon preaching, it kind of makes sense that they were in bed with Hitler and the boys and their fortune came on the backs of millions upon millions of the dead, don't you think. And people wanted to impeach Bill Clinton over a little blow job. Now really, are we in Iraq to bring democracy to a people who have no concept of what the word means, or are we there to line the pockets of Georgie, Dick Cheney and their neocon buddies? How far from the tree do you think the acorn fell?

Answer 2

It might have been the neutral countries of Europe namely, Sweden,Portugal, Turkey, Spain, and Argentina which supplied the Nazi war machine with the help of the bank of Switzerland. The biggest trading partner or what could be considered important for the war effort because of ball bearings and iron ore I would have to say it was Sweden.
