Probably.
UBC belonged to Fritz Thyssen, and Prescott Bush managed it for him. Before UBC was seized, Thyssen had a falling out with Hitler (over antisemitism of all things!). When UBC was seized, Thyssen was in a Nazi concentration camp and all his European property had been confiscated by the Third Reich.
Likely as not, Mr. Bush was simply being a good steward of the properties he was mangaging. He may have even kept the Thyssen's oversea's assets out of Nazi hands. This thing is apparently a LOT more complicated than it looks...

The Trading With the Enemy Act was signed only after the Pearl Harbor attack. Bush wasn't arrested or anything, either; instead, he got $1,500,000 in reimbursement for his one share of the Union Banking Corporation. Also, note that the UBC was formed, in 1924, by Thyssen, not the National Socialists.

Well, I didn't know that! If this is true, he must have made them angry when he was president; because he became much more pro-life then. Even Barbara Bush admitted that he was even more pro-life than she was! The feminist groups, and I thought PP were downing him like they did RR, and now his son, weren't they?

It is so funny that with no oil or land, the Israelis have prospered. The only reason Saudi Arabia and others have anything is because of their oil wealth.

Yeah, I couldn't help noticing his passionate advocacy for rolling back of the death culture in America. You know how it is with converts; they just can't shut up about it.

So let me get this right -- now the Arabs are saying the Nazis are bad?
