Sept 1939, Nazi tanks and bombs “settled” the Silesian corruption dispute, with the invasion of Poland, beginning World War 2. The Nazi army had been equiped by Flick, Harriman (S&B 1913), Walker and Bush (S&B 1917), with materials essentially stolen from Poland. There were probably few people at the time who could appreciate the irony that when the Soviets also attacked and invaded Poland from the East, their vehicles were fueled by oil pumped from Baku wells revived by the Harriman (S&B 1913) / Walker / Bush (S&B 1917) enterprise.[3,p269 / p270]

Harriman (S&B 1913), sole directors) held a substantial stake in the Silesian Holding Co. at the time of the merger with Brown Brothers. This holding correlated to W. A.
