I’m not shocked.

Plenty of European and US companies (and also governments all over the world) helped the Nazis.

Money rules the world…

I knew about Opal and that they helped build up the Nazi war machine, but I did not realize they were such a large part of it. I remember reading that in the late 1940s, GM received several billion dollars in reperations from the US government for the damange caused to their Opal factories during the allied bombing of Germany. Yes, you read that right....our government apoligized and paid reparations for damange done when we bombed factories that made Nazi war vehicles.

The US is also the worlds largest arms supplier bush or no bush we have supported other armies by selling them equipment since WW1 it's no shock and no supprise it's profit wars are only expensive if you are not selling the guns and bullets

Figures.... the first word in the title of the first link is "Bush".

If you actually look into it, Prescott Bush was nothing more than a high level employee for a bank that did business with the Nazis. While the bank itself was prosecuted for violating "trading with the enemy" laws, Bush himself was not an officer of the company, and thus he was not prosecuted as an individual.

There are many other big names who were much more guilty of doing business with the Nazis during wartime.....people like Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller and William Randolph Hearst.

I'm not shocked either. The U.S. was soft on Nazi Germany and didn't have the least bit of interest in getting involved in WWII. Joseph Kennedy (JFK's father) was Ambassador to England at the time and early on assured Hitler that the U.S. only wanted peaceful relations with Germany, and he had his friend, William Randolph Hearst, use his publishing empire to improve the image of Hitler in the U.S. All this led to the U.S. not entering the war until about half way through, when it was almost too late.

Had it not been for secret preparations that had been ongoing for some time between Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill, the U.S. would have ultimately entered the war too late and unprepared, and we would no doubt be living today under the thumb of the Third Reich, as they were mere months away from having atomic weapons and already had a nice little delivery system called the V2. Had Roosevelt's secret preparations with Churchill been uncovered, he would have no doubt been impeached. Everyone of us in the western world owes a huge debt to him for having the balls to do what went against popular opinion, but which was ultimately the right thing to do.
