Yes indeedie. Prescot Bush was actually forbidden, by the US Gov't to
continue backing Hitler, after he had done so for years.

This is baloney, as Todd has pointed out. Perhaps you're confusing him with
JFK's father, Joseph Kennedy, who really *was* a Nazi sympathizer and
supporter.

And it's a non-issue either way. Many of the elite back then were so

More to the point it's a non-issue because the elite from back then
are dead. Their children and grandchildren might exibit some of
their influence in some ways but ethnic bigotry or a fondness for
Nazis isn't likely to have carried over to the present generation.
