While the European powers wanted to avoid growth of German industry after WW1,
US invested huge sums in Germany and never ratified the Versailles Treaty. They sold
German bonds in the US financial market. One of the most important was the"Union
Banking Corporation" of George H. Walker. He named his son-in-law, Prescott Bush,
grandfather of US president George W. Bush, director of the firm. And he made great
business with the Germans, before and after 1933. In the board of his „Walkers
American Shipping and Commerce Company“ with its Hamburg-America Line was
Emil Helfferich, member of „Freundeskreis Reichsführer- SS“ and until end of WW2
President of Deutsch-Amerikanische Petroleum Gesellschaft, later ESSO, and Vacuum
Oil Company in Hamburg.
