“...and Bush was prosecuted for them under the Trading with the Enemy Act.”

"The evidence has also prompted one former US Nazi war crimes prosecutor to argue that the late senator's action should have been grounds for prosecution for giving aid and comfort to the enemy."
Thyssen opposed Hitler starting in 1938, and spent the war in concentration camps. Bush would have been supporting a major opponent of Hitler during the war.

“...and Bush was prosecuted for them under the Trading with the Enemy Act.”

No worries, I was surprised by that comment and looked into it. I see it's a very old post, looking forward to your new review!
