(36,418 posts)I looked into allegations that Prescott Bush was involved in the 1933 Banker's Plot against FDR, and could find no evidence of that. The Bankers Plot primarily involved Morgan bank and members of the Du Pont family and Remington Arms, who also featured prominently in the Nye Committee "Merchants of Death" hearings. On the other hand, Prescott and Herbert Walker were employed by Harriman Brown Bros., a different Wall Street faction. They were business partners with the owners of the Steel Trust and other Nazi party funders who had major interests in Silesian coal and mining interests. The Silesian-American company, on which board Bush and Walker served, operated in the area surrounding the Buna synthetic oil and rubber plants built to operate with slave labor at Auschwitz.
Averill Harriman, Bush and Walker were named in 1942 by the Enemy Property Custodian as being on the boards of several German companies and banks providing direct funding to both the Nazi Party and Third Reich armaments industries.
The Dulles Brothers at Sullivan and Cromwell law firm represented both groups, along with the same German industrialists who backed Hitler.
