Did Bush's grandfather ever say he was sorry for helping Hitler
kill thousands of American soldiers during WW II?

The Hitler Project

Bush Property Seized--Trading with the Enemy

snip...

How important was the Nazi enterprise for which President Bush's father was the New York banker?

The 1942 U.S. government investigative report said that Bush's Nazi-front bank was an interlocking concern with the Vereinigte Stahlwerke (United Steel Works Corporation or German Steel Trust) led by Fritz Thyssen and his two brothers. After the war, Congressional investigators probed the Thyssen interests, Union Banking Corp. and related Nazi units. The investigation showed that the Vereinigte Stahlwerke had produced the following approximate proportions of total German national output:

50.8% of Nazi Germany's pig iron
41.4% of Nazi Germany's universal plate
36.0% of Nazi Germany's heavy plate
38.5% of Nazi Germany's galvanized sheet
45.5% of Nazi Germany's pipes and tubes
22.1% of Nazi Germany's wire
35.0% of Nazi Germany's explosives.@s8
Prescott Bush became vice president of W.A. Harriman & Co. in 1926. That same year, a friend of Harriman and Bush set up a giant new organization for their client Fritz Thyssen, prime sponsor of politician Adolf Hitler. The new German Steel Trust, Germany's largest industrial corporation, was organized in 1926 by Wall Street banker Clarence Dillon. Dillon was the old comrade of Prescott Bush's father Sam Bush from the `` Merchants of Death '' bureau in World War I.

In return for putting up $70 million to create his organization, majority owner Thyssen gave the Dillon Read company two or more representatives on the board of the new Steel Trust. MORE...

7. I don't care if Bush's grandfather molested and ate small children for money.
There are a great many good reasons to dislike Bush. What his grandfather did before he was born is not among them.

Never hold anyone responsible for anything except their own actions.

10. And if he is upholding the family legacy, using the money
earned in those enterprises? If the fortune weren't still intact and supporting ill deeds I wouldn't have to bother with Jr. at all..

Without his family's money, no one would have ever heard of him.

13. The tree doesn't fall far from the apple
Shrubya was raised in the family tradition.

Show no mercy when it comes to making a quick buck or gaining more political power.

14. Being a member of the Imperial Family means NEVER having to say you're sorry
(especially to the widows and children of those Kennedys who "met with accidents" before they had a chance to root out the crooked BFEE, and JFK, Jr. who was probably premeptively attacked like Iraq)

How ya' doing Hubert, long time no speak. :hi:

Seen Walt Starr anywhere lately? How 'bout opihimoimoi?

19. Hello Tom...Good to see you posting.
Haven't seen Walt around for awhile, but the Opihi just got back on DU a couple of days ago, after the Earth quake on his island zapped his PC.

I'm doing okay for someone living in the USSA. How have you been?

21. The same. Living in Tyranny is hard for Free People like us
I mean, the Busheviks are doing everything they can to ease the tranisiton, like postponing the arrest and roundups into the Camps.

My life differs very little from when I was free. I could maintain the lying illusion of freedom easily as so many do, except that once you know, you can't un-know.

I cannot vote properly, my vote does not count in the national selection of leaders (and I cannot help but think the corruption of ALL elections isn't far behind.

Legally, I can be disappeatred into one of the new Concentration Camps at the whim of Der Fuhrer.

THAT is NOT freedom, even if I am still largely left alone.

23. I think the BushCo-fascists have gone too far to turn back now.
They'll either steal this election, or the civil war in America will start up. The PNAC can't afford to let all the truth come out, about the past 6 years.

17. Almost the entire NAZI war machine
was built by U.S. financial institutions and U.S. manufacturers such as GM, Ford, GE, Kodak and Dupont. Standard Oil (now Exxon) profited from a 50/50 partnership with IG Farbin, the company that built the concentration camps and slave labor factories.

I can easily imagine Standard Oil profiting in some secretive, circuitous manner from Nazi activities throughout the war, and would not be even slightly surprised to find such was indeed the case.

The mechanisms that allow this sort of war profiteering, are institutionalized into our government, and will not be eliminated by the defeat of the Bush family or even the neocons as political forces in our government. The changes required are much deeper and more revolutionary.

20. Sad that some will take part in killing their own countrymen for a
wad of cash...usually the very ones who's sons never have to go and fight.

25. The Bush/Nazi information is there to be seen for sure...
The source I linked to in my OP provides his sources of information at the bottom of each page...mostly congressional records and newspaper reports of the day.

Here is the link to the main page
