How Bush's grandfather helped Hitler's rise to power
 

"Rumours of a link between the US first family and the Nazi war machine have circulated for decades. Now the Guardian can reveal how repercussions of events that culminated in action under the Trading with the Enemy Act are still being felt by today's president"

George Bush's grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.

The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazism.

His business dealings, which continued until his company's assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act, has led more than 60 years later to a civil action for damages being brought in Germany against the Bush family by two former slave labourers at Auschwitz and to a hum of pre-election controversy.

The evidence has also prompted one former US Nazi war crimes prosecutor to argue that the late senator's action should have been grounds for prosecution for giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

The debate over Prescott Bush's behaviour has been bubbling under the surface for some time. There has been a steady internet chatter about the "Bush/Nazi" connection, much of it inaccurate and unfair. But the new documents, many of which were only declassified last year, show that even after America had entered the war and when there was already significant information about the Nazis' plans and policies, he worked for and profited from companies closely involved with the very German businesses that financed Hitler's rise to power. It has also been suggested that the money he made from these dealings helped to establish the Bush family fortune and set up its political dynasty.

Even Ford made trucks for Hitler, that was on a tv program. (natgeo.com)

You know the oil refueling stations in the Caribbean? Nazi party pretty much paid for those with payments to American big oil "before" US formally entered the war. After refueling and re-provisioning Nazi subs patrolled the east coast blowing up ships headed to europe to aid the war effort.

The United States is a democracy, ok for the picky it's a constitutional republic, where private enterprises are free to do business with whomever they want unless the government has passed a law against it.

Germany didn't declare war on the US until almost 1942. Not a surprise that American business was doing business with Germany up until 1942. Leave it to Hitler the biggest idiot in world history to ensure his own defeat. He would have lost the war to Russia anyway but inviting the Americans to open a second front was retarded. History likes to regard Adolf Hitler as an insane madman. If you read the history of him there's a lot of Forrest Gump to his life story.

A lot of people supported Hitler. While we consider him evil and vile today, originally Hitler was a very popular world leader. He took Germany to new heights, rebuilt their economy, and restored national pride. He was Time's man of the year.

Charles Lindbergh, a well known American hero in the 1930s, was a fan of Hitler, played a role in rebuilding the German Air Force, and received multiple awards from Hitler. Joesph Kennedy - father of future President Kennedy - was Ambassador to the UK and fought strongly against arming England.

Hitler had everyone fooled.

People knew exactly what was going on and they looked the other way. It's also pretty outrageous that major American companies supported Hitler's regime to the point of allowing American ships to be targeted and attacked off the east coast. But hey, this is 'Merica and the dollar is the one true god.

There is a slight difference.. Once the war started it was then illegal to do business with the nazis, prior to us going to war it was ok. Bush's grandfather, which was the actual father of bush sr was doing business with the nazis while we were at war. Their bank was charged under the trading with the enemy act. It's a well documented fact.

How do you think Germany was so efficient in their liquidation of Jews? IBM punch cards and IBM machines were in every concentration camp. Members of IBM Germany followed Nazi troops as they tore thru Europe and Russia …...
