WASHINGTON -- After 60 years of inattention and even denial by the
U.S. media, newly-uncovered government documents in The National
Archives and Library of Congress reveal that Prescott Bush, the
grandfather of President George W. Bush, served as a business
partner of and U.S. banking operative for the financial architect of
the Nazi war machine from 1926 until 1942, when Congress took
aggressive action against Bush and his "enemy national" partners.
The documents also show that Bush and his colleagues, according to
reports from the U.S. Department of the Treasury, tried to conceal
their financial alliance with German industrialist Fritz Thyssen, a
steel and coal baron who, beginning in the mid-1920s, personally
funded Adolf Hitler's rise to power by the subversion of democratic
principle and German law.
Furthermore, the declassified records demonstrate that Bush and his
associates, who included E. Roland Harriman, younger brother of
American icon W. Averell Harriman, and George Herbert Walker,
President Bush's maternal great-grandfather, continued their
dealings with the German industrial tycoon for nearly a year after
the U.S. entered the war. . . .

[Loftus - Your story, the first in a "reputable" US newspaper in 60
years, redeemed my two decades of work that only resulted in the
mainstream media slamming doors in my face, despite my credentials
as a Justice Department Nazi war crimes prosecutor. I give a lot of
credit to the courage of the New Hampshire Gazette as well, for
practicing journalism as it should be practiced - tell the truth and
