You mean like the west is engaged with China now, right????
GM opening a few plants there while closing ones over here via bankruptcy declared just after a multi-billion dollar injection from the American taxpayer, is that the sort of activity you were referencing.
EXACTLY the same thing.....except the Nazis weren't murdering people by the millions yet, only a clarvoyent could have forseen where that was going....the Chinese have already butchered tens of millions.......
Invading countries is fine and the fact that they call civilians killed by a war machine 'collateral damage' pretty much says how much they care about how many civilians get killed. Dresden and the cities in Japan that were obliterated also shows they care nothing about civilians. How many weddings have they bombed in just the last few years?
Clarvoyent,, get real, Germany was within 20 years of the end of WWI, they were in financial ruin at the end of the war and then they were handed some very big bills, one of which was to the 'Banks' that had loaned money out to both sides. I would think their financial records were pretty closely monitored. They had a fairly decent military force before the beginning of hostilities, are you claiming the bankers didn't have a clue as to where the money actually went?
This stuff is silly, what Bush's grandfather did before 1937 in business with Germany was only questionable in the most abstract sense........ and between 1937 and December 1941 Germany and the USA were NOT at war.........
You should help this site sum it up so nicely, currently they have a much longer article than yours. Filled with those pesky things called 'details'. like just below.

Loyal Defenders
The
National Review ran an essay on September 1 by their White House correspondent Byron York, entitled “Annals of Bush-Hating.” It begins mockingly: “Are you aware of the murderous history of George W. Bush – indeed, of the entire Bush family? Are you aware of the president’s Nazi sympathies? His crimes against humanity? And do you know, by the way, that George W. Bush is a certifiable moron?” York goes on to discredit the “Bush is a moron” IQ hoax, but fails to disprove the Nazi connection.
The more liberal
Boston Globe ran a column September 29 by
Reason magazine’s Cathy Young in which she referred to “Bush-o-phobes on the Internet” who “repeat preposterous claims about the Bush family’s alleged Nazi connections.”
Poles Tackle the Topic
Newsweek Polska, the magazine’s Polish edition, published a short piece on the “Bush Nazi past” in its March 5, 2003 edition. The item reported that “the Bush family reaped rewards from the forced-labor prisoners in the Auschwitz concentration camp,” according to a copyrighted English-language translation from Scoop Media (
Scoop - New Zealand News). The story also reported the seizure of the various Bush-Harriman-Thyssen businesses.
Still Not Interested
Major U.S. media outlets, including ABC News, NBC News,
The New York Times,
Washington Post,
Washington Times,
Los Angeles Times and
Miami Herald, have repeatedly declined to investigate the story when information regarding discovery of the documents was presented to them beginning Friday, August 29.
Newsweek U.S. correspondent Michael Isikoff, famous for his reporting of big scoops during the Clinton-Lewinsky sexual affair of the 1990s, declined twice to accept an exclusive story based on the documents from the archives.
Aftermath
After the seizures of the various businesses they oversaw with Cornelis Lievense and his German partners, the U.S. government quietly settled with Bush, Harriman and others after the war. Bush and Harriman each received $1.5 million in cash as compensation for their seized business assets.
In 1952, Prescott Bush was elected to the U.S. Senate, with no press accounts about his well-concealed Nazi past. There is no record of any U.S. press coverage of the Bush-Nazi connection during any political campaigns conducted by George Herbert Walker Bush, Jeb Bush, or George W. Bush, with the exception of a brief mention in an unrelated story in the
Sarasota Herald Tribune in November 2000 and a brief but inaccurate account in
The Boston Globe in 2001.

Bush/Nazi Link Continued
By John Buchanan and Stacey Michael
from
The New Hampshire Gazette
Vol. 248, No. 3, November 7, 2003
After the seizures in late 1942 of five U.S. enterprises he managed on behalf of Nazi industrialist Fritz Thyssen, Prescott Bush, the grandfather of President George W. Bush, failed to divest himself of more than a dozen “enemy national” relationships that continued until as late as 1951, newly-discovered U.S. government documents reveal.
Furthermore, the records show that Bush and his colleagues routinely attempted to conceal their activities from government investigators.
Bush’s partners in the secret web of Thyssen-controlled ventures included former New York Governor W. Averell Harriman and his younger brother, E. Roland Harriman. Their quarter-century of Nazi financial transactions, from 1924-1951, were conducted by the New York private banking firm, Brown Brothers Harriman.

So what, exactly, is the BIG revelation?????
The revelation could be the attachment of monetary figures and your unsupported contention that the dealing ended when you 'hint' that they were. Hint in that you provide no proof via documents. You forgot to mention that many dealings didn't get shut down until the war was over, even then not all things were ended.

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.
One of the final seizures, in October 1950, concerned the U.S. assets of a Nazi baroness named Theresia Maria Ida Beneditka Huberta Stanislava Martina von Schwarzenberg, who also used two shorter aliases. Brown Brothers Harriman, where Prescott Bush and the Harrimans were partners, attempted to convince government investigators that the baroness had been a victim of Nazi persecution and therefore should be allowed to maintain her assets.
“It appears, rather, that the subject was a member of the Nazi party,” government investigators concluded.
At the same time the last Brown Brothers Harriman client assets were seized, Prescott Bush announced his Senate campaign that led to his election in 1952.
