Eisenhower

Eisenhower's lineage is Pennsylvania Dutch going back to the 1700's. You have to go back 5 and 6 generations to find a relative that was born in Germany. Going back that far, you'll also find one born in France.


Dwight David "Ike" Eisenhower Dwight D. Eisenhower - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Eisenhauer (German for "iron hewer/miner") family migrated from Karlsbrunn, Germany, to North America, first settling in York, Pennsylvania, in 1741, and in the 1880s moving to Kansas. Accounts vary as to how and when the German name Eisenhauer was anglicized to Eisenhower. Eisenhower's Pennsylvania Dutch ancestors, who were primarily farmers, included Hans Nikolaus Eisenhauer of Karlsbrunn, who migrated to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in 1741.

The Declaration of Independence was signed in:
The Declaration of Independence
A Chronology of Events, June 7, 1776 to January 18, 1777.

Which means that Dwight David 'Ike' Eisenhower's family was in America before America's First Congress and the bill of rights.

'On September 25, 1789, the First Congress of the United States therefore proposed to the state legislatures 12 amendments to the Constitution that met arguments most frequently advanced against it. The first two proposed amendments, which concerned the number of constituents for each Representative and the compensation of Congressmen, were not ratified. Articles 3 to 12, however, ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures, constitute the first 10 amendments of the Constitution, known as the Bill of Rights.'

no.. Germans were not thrown into concentration camps.

Some were, actually, several thousands, also Italians. One of my uncles was put in one for a time, 7 months; got out by enlisting in the Marines, and went to the Pacific theater.
 
Actually Ike was afraid he would be relieved of duty when the Soviet dominated FDR administration and the dying incoherent president decided that American Troops had gone too far and they should wait before crossing the Rhine so that the Soviet hoard could decimate Berlin and capture Hitler.

Actually stopping where he did was Ike's idea, and he decided on it before he was made Supreme Commander; it was part of the plan he devised that got him the command in the first place. Berlin had no strategic military importance, and in fact where Ike stopped was the perfect place for a defensive line if the Soviets decided to overrun the West and violate the Yalta and Potsdam agreements.
