Семья Буш и нацистская Германия (Тиссен & Co)
Хотя Фриц Тиссен порвал со своим нац.прошлым Ближе к концу 1938 г., тем не менее в том числе и его фин. поддержка способствовала приходу НСДАП с Гитлером к власти. А в США представителем интересов был некий Prescott Bush (Union Banking Corporation). Инфо боянное, но в кубышку торговли там всяческой и фин. операций - пригодится. Конечно же, до объявления войны - гос-во США не препятствовало подобного рода сделкам с третим рейхом. Любопытно, что уже новая редакции акта торговли с врагом вышла в середине декабря 1941 года. А санкции на ставшие нелегальными сдели П. Буша (Union Banking Corporation) наложили лишь в октябре 1942 года. Далее пара материалов по теме:

"On December 13, 1941, six days after the attack at Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt signed the 'Trading With the Enemy Act'. This act banned business dealings with the enemies of the US. Prescott Bush ignored this and continued to do business with the Nazis... [In the summer of 1942,] the NY Tribune had discovered and written on the Bush-Thyssen connection. The Tribune hung the moniker of 'Hitler's Angel' on Bush. On October 20, 1942, after investigation by the US government, Vesting Order 248 was executed [and] Bush lost his power in the Union Banking Corporation. Bush resigned as managing director in 1943, but still retained his stock interests... Bush received $750,000 [about $5 million in today's dollars] for his share of UBC, a princely sum in 1951, but nothing compared to the millions the Thyssen family got back. Prescott used some of this Nazi cash to bankroll his son George Herbert Walker Bush's first business enterprise and to support [Prescott's] successful bid for Senate in 1952."

After the war, a total of 18 additional Brown Brothers Harriman and UBC-related client assets were seized under The Trading with the Enemy Act, including several that showed the continuation of a relationship with the Thyssen family after the initial 1942 seizures.
The records also show that Bush and the Harrimans conducted business after the war with related concerns doing business in or moving assets into Switzerland, Panama, Argentina and Brazil - all critical outposts for the flight of Nazi capital after Germany's surrender in 1945. Fritz Thyssen died in Argentina in 1951.
