General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of the
Allied Forces in Europe
“I have never felt able to describe
my emotional reaction when I first
came face to face with
indisputable evidence of Nazi
brutality and ruthless disregard of
every shred of decency...I visited
every nook and cranny of the
camp because I felt it my duty to
be in a position from then on to
testify at first hand about these
things in case there ever grew up
at home the belief or assumption
that the stories of Nazi brutality
were just propaganda.”
--General Dwight D. Eisenhower,
Supreme Commander, Allied Forces,
Europe, Letter to Chief of Staff
