Prescott Bush (search) was one of seven directors of Union Banking
Corp. (search), a New York investment bank owned by a bank controlled
by the Thyssen family, according to recently declassified National
Archives documents reviewed by The Associated Press.
Fritz Thyssen (search) was an early financial supporter of Hitler,
whose Nazi party Thyssen believed was preferable to communism. The
documents do not show any evidence Bush directly aided that effort.
His position with Union Banking never was a political issue for Bush,
who was elected to the Senate from Connecticut in 1952.
[...]
Union Banking was seized by the government in October 1942 under the
Trading with the Enemy Act
No charges were brought against Union Banking's American directors.
The federal government was too busy trying to fight the war, said
Donald Goldstein, a professor of public and international affairs at
the University of Pittsburgh.
"We did not have the resources to do these things," Goldstein said.
Oder kurz gesagt: Man hat´s bei einer "Geldstrafe" belassen und gut
war.
