    Participation in property seizures in occupied Poland

    After Dresdner Bank revived Ostbank during the German occupation of western Poland, the institution was used in operations associated with the coercive seizure of Jewish and Polish property. In Poznań, it recovered its former headquarters through confiscation from the Polish cooperative bank that had occupied the building since the interwar period.
