“Ike was a soldier in W.W.II, and did what he was told”
he also prolonged the war , refusing german offers to surrender.
Keep spouting the Kremlin party line. We all might be in Syria next year because of the refusal to see how much the Russians have been able to infiltrate and deceive.
He was a soldier from FT. Sam Houston in 1916.
Ike accepted the surrenders of many thousands of German soldiers, and whole cities the allies liberated.
Any official offer of surrender by the German government, would go straight up the line to Roosevelt, later Truman. And to my knowledge, there were none.
And the reason is pretty clear. In their first war-time conference at Casablanca, in January 1943, Roosevelt laid down his terms for peace, just like Grant, it was “unconditional surrender.”
