“Would that be the same General Eisenhower who murdered tens of thousands of surrendered German troops through deprivation and starvation in outdoor caged mud fields after the war, in direct violation of the Geneva Convention?”

I only know of one General Eisenhower in WWII. If there were others, I don't know about it.

More on point, I believe the charge by Canadian novelist James Bacque in his book “Other Losses” were that Eisenhower and his staff conducted a campaign of genocide resulting in the deaths of about a million German POW’s (after the war), not tens of thousands.

I have not read Bacque’s book, in part, because his scholarship is generally in doubt. However, because of your findings that General Eisenhower acted “in direct violation of the Geneva Convention”, I may have to reconsider.

First, I'll wait to see if Donald Trump issues a secular fatwa declaring that General Eisenhower is no hero.

So you’re saying it never happened? That’s your position?
