Prescott Bush was known to have banking ties with the Nazi party of Germany. As for Geronimo, that is something that I have never heard of.
EDIT: I did some looking around and found this concerning Geronimo.
"Bush has long been implicated in the society's alleged theft of the skull of Native American leader Geronimo, when three Bonesmen were stationed at Fort Sill."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prescott_Bush
"In 1918 it is said that he robbed the grave and stole the skull of the Native American warrior Geronimo as part of an initiation into Yale's Skull and Bones Society."

Prescott Bush was a director at an investment bank that invested with a German industrialist named Thyssen. Now Thyssen was an early supporter of the Nazis, but by 1939 had grown sick of them and spoke out of them. He tried to flee but was caught and imprisoned by the Nazis.
But that is a long, long stretch to go from those facts to the belief that he supported or financed the Nazis.
However, it is well established as fact that Joseph Kennedy was recalled from being ambassador to England because of his vocal pro-Nazi views.

Prescott Bush not only helped finance Hitler's rise to power, but also sold weapons to Nazi Germany during the war. He was convicted of "trading with the enemy" and had property seized.

Prescott Bush did business with the Nazi's during WW2 just like Bush Jr does business with the bin ladens. The Bush's were traitors then and they still are now.

Prescott Bush was a banker. He facilitated loans from US banking institutions, and in conjunction with John D. Rockefeller, to Hitler so he could modernize Germany and get their industrial plants operating at capacity. He also introduced Sir Nathan Rothschild to Hitler. Rothschild was also a banker and made tons of money in oil as well. He invested in Hitler's Germany, which is interesting, considering he was also Jewish. The Rothschild family ended up with priceless art after the war, not to mention that none of their business interests in Germany were taken over by Hitler. There is evidence that Rothschild had an affair with a German maid in his castle, and the offspring was Hitler. Henry Ford also invested in Hitler, and taught him about mass producing autos, hence, the Volkswagen. Anyway, this is all old history now, and is well documented. Plug in any of the names above and include Hitler, and you will get tons of things to research.

bush's grandad did do enough bartering and dealing with the Nazis to get to a point where he was going to be prosecuted for sedition...he took it to that point before he finally quit profiteering with the Nazis. Pig then...pig now.
