Business transactions with Germany were not illegal until Hitler declared war on the United States on December 11, 1941, but, six days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed the Trading With the Enemy Act after it had been made public that U.S. companies were doing business with the declared enemy of the United States. On October 20, 1942, the U.S. government ordered the seizure of German banking operations in New York City. Roosevelt's Alien Property Custodian, Leo T. Crowley, signed Vesting Order Number 248 seizing property under the Trading with the Enemy Act. The order cited only the Union Banking Corporation (UBC), of which Bush was a director and held only one share. Fox News has reports on recently declassified material about this issue, according to a document signed by Homer Jones, chief of the division of investigation and research of the Office of Alien Property Custodian

  1. No unfortunately, but Union Bank was shut down  Bush was also on the boards of other German companies that were under German State Control such as the Hamburg - Amerika Line while he was money laundering for the Third Riech.  

    -Bush was an ardent n**i Admirer who participated in a 1933 coup attempt to remove FDR and create a Fascist dictatorship here in the US with the assistance of Amreican corporations and some of the wealthiest Americans in the country.  This Bush comes from a long line of crooks and traitors.


  2. Obviously not since the pinheads keep trying to breath life into a non issue

  3. No, nor was IBM, Ford or GM convicted for trading with n**i Germany and Fascist Italy. Neither were enemies at the time.
