Eisenhower furious over Berlin pamphlet disclosure
Former President Eisenhower reportedly is incensed by a State Department pamphlet that claims he chose not to help capture Berlin before the Soviets near the end of World War II. He will host 42 freshmen Republican congressmen at Gettysburg for a tour of his farm and Civil War battlefield, delivering an expert lecture on Gettysburg’s military significance. Rep. Melvin Laird condemned the pamphlet as misrepresentation and urged withdrawal. The pamphlet argued Western armies could have captured Berlin but the Supreme Allied Commander allegedly believed they should focus elsewhere, allowing the Soviets to seize Berlin.
