Stone connecting Prescott Bush to Hitler was the first thing I thought of when I first read this story days ago.
A google search finds many hits about Prescott Bush in Stone's movie. Prominent Democrat and Prescott Bush's boss W. Averell Harriman will likely be left out of the movie. If I am not mistaken it was Harriman's bank and Bush worked for the bank. Many American corporations poured money into Naze Germany before the war.
As I recall, Harriman, et al had many prominent defenders post war including the Dulles brothers. Others like Prescott Bush were not so well defended.
.. but I'll defer to the historians.
I’ve come across 8-10 or so . . . forget precisely . . .
sources asserting the grandpa Bush thing. Was—what was his name . . . Vandever, Vandover . . . Bush??? was he related?
Anyway—a lot of sources have asserted the granddaddy Bush/Hitler connection. Enough that I no longer doubt it.
I have long been convinced that Bush Sr was a dyed in the wool globalist.
The quotes ref’d in my tagline from 1900 on . . . it’s all been a cozy cabal running the world for a long time.
Brown Brothers Harriman, Precott Bush’s employer, did do business with German industrialist Fritz Thyssen, who was briefly a Nazi before breaking with Hitler. Thyssen spent the war in Dachau. His American interests were seized by the US government after Pearl Harbor.
Bush, Harriman, the Dulles brothers, were all Anglophiles and not in the least Nazi sympathizers.
