Prescott Bush was by no means unique, though his financial connections
with the Third Reich were perhaps more intimate than most. Henry Ford
was an avowed admirer of Hitler, and together GM and Ford played the
predominant role in producing the military trucks that carried German
troops across Europe. After the war, both auto companies demanded and
received reparations for damage to their German plants caused by allied
bombing.

Standard Oil and Chase Bank, both controlled by the Rockefellers,
invested heavily in Nazi Germany, as did many of Wall Street’s leading
brokerage houses. These business dealings continued after the war had
begun, with Standard Oil shipping fuel to the Nazis through Switzerland
as late as 1942 and collaborating with I.G. Farben, the firm that
manufactured Zyklon B gas for the Nazi death chambers and operated a
synthetic rubber plant using slave labor from Auschwitz.

In his book Trading with the Enemy: The Nazi American Money Plot, former
New York Times reporter Charles Higham noted that the US government
sought to cover up the role played by Prescott Bush and many other
leading US financiers and industrialists in supporting Hitler.
