"We only stood up to Hitler when he invaded one country too many."
And he wouldn't have been able to do that if he wasn't funded and supplied by the U.S.
"1922-1945: GERMANY. Averell Harriman travels to Berlin in 1922 and sets up the Berlin branch of W.A. Harriman & Co. under George Herbert Walker, father-in-law of Prescott Bush and longtime Harriman errand boy and front man. Harriman makes an agreement with German steel mogul Fritz Thyssen to act as a conduit for Thyssen funds between the United States and Germany. The Harriman organization becomes joint owner and manager of Thyssen's banking operations outside of Germany. Fritz Thyssen and his business partners are universally recognized as the most important German financiers of Adolf Hitler's takeover of Germany. Thyssen begins financing Hitler and the Nazi Party in 1923.
In 1924, in the certain knowledge that there will be another world war, the Dulles brothers set up three banks for the Harrimans and their partners in the Hitler Project. One is in Germany, one in New York and one in Holland. The idea is a classic Dulles brothers shell game: whoever "wins" the war, the ownership of the assets of the Hitler Project organizers, vastly bloated by war profits, will be held in such a way that they can be retrieved afterwards via one of the three banks.
The Dulles brothers establish the Union Banking Corporation, as a unit in the Manhattan offices of W.A. Harriman & Co., interlocking with the Thyssen-owned Bank voor Handel en Scheepvaart in the Netherlands. U.S. government investigators will later conclude that "the Union Banking Corporation has, since its inception, handled funds chiefly supplied to it through the Dutch bank by the Thyssen interests for American investment." The Dutch bank is the main conduit for money from Thyssen to Adolf Hitler and is also used to transfer American money to Hitler.
One of its jobs is to siphon cash from Union Banking Corporation in New York to Hitler to build the first Nazi headquarters, the Braunhaus in Munich. The Braunhaus will become the Nazi propaganda center for all of Germany. Prescott Bush, grandfather of George W. Bush, is a part owner and directs the day-to-day operations of the Harriman/Rockefeller Union Banking Corporation. Thyssen, Standard Oil's German subsidiary and IG Farben all use the Union Banking Corporation to funnel vast quantities of money to the Nazis and to manage and conceal their American financial interests.
In 1926, Prescott Bush becomes vice-president of W.A. Harriman & Co. That same year, Wall Street banker Clarence Dillon, a friend of both Averell Harriman and Bush, sets up a new organization for Thyssen, prime sponsor of Adolf Hitler. The new German Steel Trust, Germany's largest industrial corporation, is organized by Dillon, Read which provides the staggering sum of $70 million in cash. Dillon is an old crony of Prescott Bush's father Sam Bush from the happy and highly profitable arms dealing days of World War One. Dillon, Read is guaranteed two or more directors on the board of the Trust. Among the Thyssen ventures is a steel mill in the Polish town of Oswieczimin the Silesian coal region. Soon it will be better known as Auschwitz.
William H. Draper, Jr. is made Director, Vice-president and assistant treasurer of the German Credit and Investment Corporation which provides short-term loans and financial management tricks for Thyssen and the Steel Trust as it finances Hitler's takeover of Germany.
The Harriman-Rockefeller-Bush Nazi-front bank becomes an interlocking concern with the German Steel Trust. After World War Two, Congressional investigators will probe the Thyssen interests, Union Banking Corporation and related Nazi units. The investigation will show that the Bush, Harriman and Dillon, Read-linked trust had produced the following percentages of total German national output during World War Two: 50.8% of Nazi Germany's pig iron, 41.4% of Nazi Germany's standard steel plate, 36.0% of Nazi Germany's heavy plate, 38.5% of Nazi Germany's galvanized sheet steel, 45.5% of Nazi Germany's pipes and tubes, 22.1% of Nazi Germany's wire and 35.0% of Nazi Germany's explosives.
In 1937, Prescott Bush will hire Nazi finance guru and legal eagle Allen Dulles to further hide Thyssen’s Nazi accounts behind a cloud of legal smoke."
