    In a sense, yes... thought not directly. They did business with those who funded and worked with the nazis, presumably with knowledge of that connection... and this eventually leading to asset seizure by congress for trading with the enemy.

    Incidentally, like father like son in this family... George H.W. Bush was part of Iran Contra (can anyone say October Surprise pay-off?)... I can't wait to hear about what junior's done.

    Also, the cons bringing up Joe Kennedy in this thread smells of desparation and defensiveness... the asker asked a straightforward question and you're already at work trying to deflect... sad.

    Prescott Bush worked for a bank that dealt with German companies, especially Fritz Thyssen, who was an early backer of the Nazi during the mid 30's but who turned around, denounced Hitler by 1939 (when he started invading countries), and was jailed for his disloyalty. Prescott Bush never donated to the Nazis, nor did he ever hold any loyalty to them. Attempts to connect him to the Nazis were started back in 1980, when his son first ran for vice president.

    Interestingly enough, Prescott Bush did donate heavily to other organizations, such as Planned Parenthood, the American Birth Control League, and the UNCF.

    no longer that i be conscious of of. I in simple terms elect to evaluate the two. In 1938 or 39, Hitler annexed Austria. Then area of Tchecoslovakia. subsequently some distance no person did something. Then he invaded Poland and that they are all like "hey you at the instant are not allowed to try this" In 2001 (or 02?) or each time it became, Bush went after whats' his face who became in the back of the 9/eleven assaults. Then Iraq. subsequently some distance no person did something.

    I just looked it up. It does appear he was employed by a bank that was lead by his father in law that did business with the Nazis before it was outlawed. I hate George W Bush, and think he should be impeached. But I don't think this can be used against George W. It also appears that Preston Bush was chairman of the united ***** college fund in connecticuit in 1951.

    No that is not true. He did however like thousands of Americans sell items and petrol to the nazis. As did GM. Moble, Ford, Coka Cola, General Mills, and countless others. Before they tried to take over europ they were just another government.

    so did the kennedy family. ford was building them cars and at the begining of his reign ford switched some of his vehicles to military vehicles. the fact is nobody knew what Hitler was up to and people were involved in world trade. It all stoped when it was finally seen what was going on...

    It may well be, but so did Joseph Kennedy. How is it that his name never comes up in these conversations?
