Adolph Hitler's financiers, the Thyssen family, formed Union Banking Corporation (UBC) to manage investments in America. The US congressional report described Union Bank as an "interlocking trust" with the German Steel Trust. UBC was also involved in raising funds for Germany and illegally transferring aviation fuel technology to the Luftwaffe.
A July 1942 New York Tribune front page article about the bank was headlined "Hitler's Angel has 3 million in US bank"; ("Hitler's Angel" being Fritz Thyssen). This prompted the congressional investigation which closed UBC.

W. A. Harriman and Company paid $4,000,000 for Dresser Industries, an oil drilling equipment supply company. His classmate Henry Neil Mallon as chairman. In 1948, Mallon hired George H.W. Bush to work at Dresser. In September 1998, Dresser merged with Halliburton and is now known as Halliburton Company.

Both Bush presidents are even named after him and he was involved in the Hamburg-America line
George Walker also set up the takeover of the
Hamburg-America line, a cover for I.G. Farben's Nazi espionage unit in the United States. In Germany, I.G. Farben was most famous for putting the gas in gas chambers; it was the producer of
Zyklon B and other gasses used on victims of the Holocaust.
The Bush family was not unaware of the nature of their investment partners. They hired Allen Dulles, the future head of the CIA, to hide the funds they were making from Nazi investments and the funds they were sending to Nazi Germany, rather than divest. It was only in 1942, when the government seized Union Banking Company assets under the Trading With The Enemy Act, that George Herbert Walker and Prescott Bush stopped pumping money into Hitler's regime.
