And may I ask, what does this have to do with the price of eggs in China?

Let's see if I can get this right. The Bank Voor Handel of the Netherlands was actually controlled by the Thyssen. Bank Voor controlled Union Banking Corp of the USA, and Bush was one of seven named to the Board of Directors. He owned one share of the corporation (so his presence was obviously for show, as are many people who sit on boards of directors today). Fritz Thyssen, the big bug, broke with the Nazis in 1938.

Now it seems that a Harriman was a major stockholder in UBC, and of course Averill Harriman was a big bug in the Democrat Party -- but no mention of this. It is likely that the Democrats, and FDRoosevelt, were not at all interested in a potential Harriman scandal.

Following WWII the heirs of Fritz Thyssen invested in property in the United States, especially in Arizona.
