He said Gen. Eisenhower told the men, "Remember what you see. In your lifetimes, there will be people saying this didn't happen."

Did Ike ever admit anything about "Operation Keelhaul"?

I have no idea, but this anecdote involves Ike's son, young General Eisenhower.

You mean the program that sent thousands of Russian prisoners of war.... those held by the nazis.... back to certain death in the USSR death camps or gulags created by stalin?

I was told by a close friend who was a young officer on the staff of General Eisenhower during the war before D-Day and after... that Stalin demanded that all his soldiers be returned after the war and both Churchill and Roosevelt had agreed to it before the D-Day invasion. My friend said, It was ALL about politics.
