OK fair enough. I am sure however it was under the premise that it would not turn into a "Bash Bush" post, enough of those around.

So again be aware of the biased nature of that report. For instance, it only barely mentions the fact that Fritz Thyssen "fell out of favor" with Hitler. Actually what happened is he was imprisoned by Hitler before moving to the U.S. and becoming a staunch anti-nazi as more of Hitler's attrocities became apparant. I don't think it mentioned that Prescott Bush gave back $1.5 million that earned as being a stockholder in the german company. I don't think it mentioned that he also served in WW1, presumably directly or indirectly killing German's. I don't think it mentioned that all German assets were seized by the U.S. government, in any event, after war was declared. I don't think it mentioned that other politicians, celebrities, and business men also invested in pre-war Germany (Kennedy, Charles Linbourgh, etc).

Just be aware you don't get the total story.

I wouldn't worry about blood money or anything like that, if you drive a Ford,GMC,Honda, mitshuibishi, or use any number of products you are dealing with a company that profited directly from Germany and Japan's raise to power. Don't even get me started on the US Space Program! You know who put us on the moon don't you? Do you know who's test data the USAF used to develop cold water survival for downed airman? And where they got those test results............

Actually, all kinds of medical research stems from the meticulous notes Nazis took during their horrific experiments on the Jews. A few years ago, some bunch of people tried to throw out all medical research that incorporated this data, and found that it was impossible.

I don't want to have to move this, because I don't know where I'd put it... Polotics, Health, Pre-School..??? We are all adults here, let's continue the discussion as such
Nooooooooooooooo,it is not an "explosive" subject. It's an out & out lie and designed purely for the purpose of lame brained hatred. To me, the entire post does not belong on the board. Now, despite it's compete stupidity, it IS a good form of humor. We can all laugh at it- that's for sure.
