Friendly tip: Biased, incomplete and out-of-date Wiki pages are just a few reasons I never reference that ilk.
The page doesn’t mention Union Banking whatsoever...a rather convenient omission, considering GHWB’s pedigree...

It’s a pretty prominent section, with its own subheader. Basically the Nazi stuff is BS retailed by leftists. How do I know? At one point, I was an avid reader of leftist media at the time, being one myself. The articles were long on innuendo and short on substance. Because they really couldn’t make a case on the substance, they lied their butts off.
Where was Prescott’s great wealth when Dubya was living in a low-rent Houston apartment complex next to a couple of call girls? How did Prescott only leave $3.5m to his survivors?
Now that Bush is dead, they talk about how he was such a great guy compared to Trump. What do they really think? Bush is the perfect Republican - a dead one.

[Union Banking Corporation
Bush was a founding member and one of seven directors (including W. Averell Harriman) of the Union Banking Corporation (holding a single share out of 4,000 as a director), an investment bank that operated as a clearing house for many assets and enterprises held by German steel magnate Fritz Thyssen.[6][7] In July 1942, the bank was suspected of holding gold on behalf of Nazi leaders.[8] A subsequent government investigation disproved those allegations but confirmed the Thyssens’ control, and in October 1942 the United States seized the bank under the Trading with the Enemy Act and held the assets for the duration of World War II.[6] Journalist Duncan Campbell pointed out documents showing that Prescott Bush was a director and shareholder of a number of companies involved with Thyssen.[6]
It is unclear whether Bush was aware of Thyssen’s Nazi connections or approved of them, and some historians even dispute Thyssen’s allegiance to the Nazi party.[9] Historian Herbert Parmet agrees with the assessment that Bush was not a Nazi sympathizer.[7] ]
