Hitler may not have been directly supported by the US government, but he was financially backed by several Bush-Harriman-Thyssen businesses and the
UBC, the financial architect of the Nazi war machine from 1926 until 1942.
The director of and stockholder in UBC and a partner in the
firm that later became Brown Brothers Harriman
and the largest private investment bank in the world, was later elected to the US Senate, despite
his support of the Nazis.
If the US government wasn't supporting, or being controlled by supporters of Hitler, why did it allow a man, whose assets had been siezed under
the
Trading with the Enemy Act in '42, to become a Senator 10 years later?
...newly-uncovered government documents in The National Archives and Library of Congress reveal that
Prescott Bush, the grandfather of President
George W. Bush, served as a business partner of and U.S. banking operative for the financial architect of the Nazi war machine from 1926 until
1942, when Congress took aggressive action against Bush and his "enemy national" partners.
The documents also show that Bush and his colleagues, according to reports from the U.S. Department of the Treasury and FBI,
tried to conceal their
financial alliance with German industrialist Fritz Thyssen, a steel and coal baron who, beginning in the mid-1920s, personally funded Adolf Hitler's
rise to power by the subversion of democratic principle and German law
... Bush, Harriman, Lievense and the other UBC stockholders were in fact "nominees," or
phantom shareholders, for Thyssen and his Holland bank,
meaning that they acted at the direct behest of their German client.
Furthermore, the declassified records demonstrate that Bush and his associates, who included E. Roland Harriman, younger brother of American icon W.
Averell Harriman, and George Herbert Walker, President Bush's maternal great-grandfather, continued their dealings with the German industrial baron
for nearly eight months after the U.S. entered the war.
The documents from the Archives also show that the
Bushes and Harrimans shipped valuable U.S. assets, including gold, coal, steel and U.S. Treasury
and war bonds, to their foreign clients overseas as Hitler geared up for his 1939 invasion of Poland, the event that sparked World War II.
