Eisenhower was not a big self-promoter, from what I have read.

Why would a general who prior to WW2 never experienced combat self promote?

I suspect you are not serious in this comment.

Ambitious people promote themselves to gain advantage and power. Eisenhower, as Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force in Europe, was in a superb position to self-promote.
