We had a good thread on Q post 142, delta yesterday. Hamburg-America, now Hapag Lloyd, managed the Hindenburg and lost their local manager John Pannes in the 1937 wreck. Prescott Bush worked for George Walker of W. A. Harriman & Co., and "Harriman and Walker took a participation in the Hamburg-America Lines." Bush was also a director of Union Banking Corporation, which had its assets seized in 1942 under the Trading With the Enemy Act due to Thyssen Steel holdings that were held to be Nazi (NSDAP) related. In theory Pannes knew enough damaging data about Hapag and UBC that the Bush family was concerned. That's as far as I've gotten, there's a lot more in the links.
Used to be fairly easy to find the complete list on even the big search engines, that has changed in the span of the last year or two, now it would appear to be fairly thoroughly scrubbed away and rather difficult to find that one name(that I for the life of me can't remember) that was a real hindrance to the creation of the world bank.....
If they have their way the same would probably happen to the Titanic passenger list and the names of the people on it opposed to the creation of the federal reserve as well.........
Or was it just the fact that cheap air travel would be detrimental to money making?

Bush family, what a syndicate...3 generations
That was a rather epic thread. Not much on Hindenburg, but still a hefty bunch of q-post diving. Thanks.

It was orchestrated so that a future rock band could have an awesome name with an awesome album cover. Prove me wrong.
Right? And the Hindenburg being a “zeppelin” thirty years later boom.
Heiress, journalists, executives. German officers …. Interesting mix. http://facesofthehindenburg.blogspot.com/
Possible threat of sabotage…. 🤔 worth digging a little deeper. http://facesofthehindenburg.blogspot.com/2009/04/lieutenant-claus-hinkelbein.html
No, but I've been meaning to do a little research. Q did mention it.
