World War II and the Bush Family

Prescott Bush, grandfather of George Bush, was a director and shareholder of a company with direct ties to financing the Nazi Party.

Documents from the US National Archives confirm that a firm where Prescott Bush served as a director was involved in financing Nazism.

Prescott Bush, a partner at Brown Brothers Harriman and a director of the Union Banking Corporation (UBC), was connected to financial entities tied to German industrialist Fritz Thyssen, an early supporter of Adolf Hitler in the 1920s and 1930s. UBC, where Bush held one share and a directorship, was linked to Thyssen’s interests through a Dutch bank, Bank voor Handel en Scheepvaart. Thyssen’s steel and coal companies significantly contributed to Germany’s rearmament in the 1930s, indirectly aiding the Nazi regime’s rise.

It has been speculated that the wealth generated from these activities established the Bush family fortune and laid the foundation for its political dynasty.

The Dulles brothers are another matter entirely, and I will write an article about them next week. In the meantime, consider this: The connection between the Dulles brothers (John Foster Dulles and Allen Dulles) and the Bush family, particularly Prescott Bush, centers on their shared involvement in financial and legal networks that facilitated American investments in Germany during the 1920s and 1930s, some of which indirectly supported the Nazi regime’s early rise.
