"On October 20, 1942, the U.S. government ordered the seizure of Nazi German banking operations in New York City. President Franklin Roosevelt's Alien Property Custodian, Leo T. Crowley, signed Vesting Order Number 248 seizing the property of Prescott Bush under the Trading with the Enemy Act. The order, published in obscure government record books and kept out of the news, cited only the Union Banking Corporation (UBC) connections with Von Thyssen.

E. Roland Harriman--3991 shares (managed and under voting control of Prescott Bush)
Cornelis Lievense--4 shares (He was the New York banker of the German Nazi Party)
Harold D. Pennington--1 share (Employed by Prescott Bush at Brown Brothers Harriman)
Ray Morris--1 share (a business partner of the Bush and Harriman families)
Prescott S. Bush--1 share (director of UBC, which was co-founded and sponsored by his father-in-law George Walker; senior managing partner for E. Roland Harriman and Averell Harriman)
H.J. Kouwenhoven--1 share (organised UBC for Von Thyssen, managed UBC in Nazi occupied Netherlands)
Johann G. Groeninger--1 share (German Industrial Executive, a not unimportant member of the Nazi party)" From Wikipedia.

Please note who REALLY controlled the bank. Although Prescott Bush had only one share, he was managing and in control of the majority of the shares.

Peace
