Sure it was legal. However, as you know, in 1950 Harriman and Bush each got a payout of 1.5 million dollars. The Holocaust survivors? They got zip. I don't recall hearing about them offering those people any of their war booty.
As I have said before, their wealth is in large part due to this. 1.5 million would be quite a bit in today's money.
