The page 8 Eisenhower article refers to Gen. Robert Stack (not the actor) and his treatment of Goering. What I think is the General's own description of the incident can be found here. The pull quotes would be, from the middle, "We finally came to a detachment of about 25 vehicles, halted on the road and facing in the direction from which we were coming. This was Goering's personal convoy...He and I got out of our vehicles and von Brauschitz introduced us. Goering gave me the old German Army salute, not the "Heil Hitler," and I returned it.", and the end, "Shortly after this incident, some United States columnists ran stories that we had shaken hands with Goering and fed him a chicken dinner. Neither General Dahlquist nor I shook hands with Goering. We fed him a chicken dinner because that was all we had, chicken and rice out of a tin can."

The German spy captured by the Canadians survived the war and later worked for the German navy, per Wikipedia.
