as for the bush family, this from the article
'While there is no suggestion that Prescott Bush was sympathetic to the Nazi cause, the documents reveal that the firm he worked for, Brown Brothers Harriman (BBH), acted as a US base for the German industrialist, Fritz Thyssen, who helped finance Hitler in the 1930s before falling out with him at the end of the decade.' caught my eye.
i'd imagine plenty of people bought hitler's propaganda hook, line and sinker early on. charles lindbergh was a hitler fan. old joe kennedy was a rabid anti-semite and hitler supporter/ apologist.-it cost him the ambassadorship to the court of st. james. then, there was the former king, the duke of windsor. that's just to name a few. i doubt many in the early years of hitler's rise had any inkling of the costs of his rise to power.
