réf. 5932DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER 1890-1969. The Thirty-Fourth President Eisenhower was an Allied commander in World War II and ordered the Normandy invasion. He was elected President in 1952 for two terms.TLS. 1 pg. 8 x 10. November 30 1956. The White House Washington. A typed letter signed by Dwight D Eisenhower to Reverend Eugene Carson Blake D.D.: Thank you very much for the telegram you sent recently on behalf of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the United States of America. Your comments on the policy of the United States Government in the Hungarian and Near East crises with particular reference to the handling of these issues in the United Nations were heartening ones. These two grave situations have represented an urgent opportunity for the United Nations to marshal the strength of universal moral forces on behalf of the rule of international law and justice. Action taken in the United Nations has eloquently revealed the deep-seated longing among the nations for an establishment and maintenance of peace and the universal desire that the independence and integrity of nations be maintained and respected. In the forum of the United Nations we must press our search for solutions of these and other problems which confront the community of nations. I am most appreciative of the role of the churches in support of the United Nations and on behalf of those who suffer and are in want as a result of international calamities. You may be certain that the United States Government will continue its efforts within the United Nations and in its relations with other Governments to further the deep desire of the American people that conditions of true and lasting peace be established in the world. President Eisenhower sent this letter to Eugene Blake the leader of the National Council of Churches of Christ in the United States of America. Blake was a prominent Presbyterian leader who served as President from 1954-1957 and later was a participant in the March on Washington. The NCC is an interdenominational partnership of Christian faith groups in the United States that often spoke forcefully about promoting peace in U.S. foreign policy. The two crises that Eisenhower refers to both in 1956 were the Hungarian Revolution which saw the Soviet Union violently invade and suppress Hungarys new reformist government and the Suez Canal Crisis which saw Great Britain France and Israel launch a joint operation to retake the Suez Canal after Egypts Nasser nationalized it. The actions by Eisenhower and the United Nations in resolving both crises were supported by many like Blake but also criticized by many in the U.S. and around the world. This was especially true as Eisenhower and the United Nations sat back while the Soviet Union killed over 6000 Hungarian soldiers and civilians and displaced over 200000 which was seen as hypocritical given American action in Korea and Vietnam. Regardless this letter is an important reminder about the influence the NCC had as a Christian advocacy body and Eisenhowers role as the leader of the internationalist and institutionalist wing of the Republican Party in the decade after World War II. unknown

réf. 250444/4/52. Ike signed this as president and sent it to a Navy veteran On April 4 1949 twelve nations from Western Europe and North America signed the North Atlantic Treaty in Washington D.C. A key feature of this treaty is Article 5 in which the signatory members agreed that ""an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all.” Initially however the alliance was not very well prepared to carry out the mission of defending its territory. In addition to grave shortages of troops and equipment there was no command structure to direct the overall defense of Western Europe just committees - known as ""Regional Planning Groups"" - that were charged with drawing up plans for the defense of their regions. The 12 original members were the United States Canada Britain Belgium Denmark France Iceland Italy Luxembourg the Netherlands Norway and Portugal. All this changed after the outbreak of the Korean War in June 1950 which raised fears that Europe could face a similar threat over divided Germany. The nations of the alliance agreed to increase their defence efforts and began working on the creation of an integrated military command structure with an overall commander for NATO forces in Europe. Selecting the first Supreme Allied Commander Europe SACEUR was easy since everyone's first choice was the popular and respected U.S. Army Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower who had led allied forces in Europe during World War II. On December 19 1950 the North Atlantic Council announced the appointment of General Eisenhower as the first Supreme Allied Commander. In 1952 Greece and Turkey joined in the alliance's first expansion. Document signed by Dwight D. Eisenhower first Supreme Allied Commander of Nato stamped April 4 1952 signed as President in February 1957 the first day cover honoring NATO along with the first NATO stamp honoring NATO.

réf. 344736/4/45. “It is always encouraging to be reassured that the people at home are 100% behind us and appreciate the sacrifices of our troops.” General Dwight D. Eisenhower the Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force in Europe orchestrated the defeat of Germany’s Third Reich during World War II. He could only have done so with the support of the American people for which he was eternally grateful and of his courageous soldiers many of whom were killed in action. April 1945 saw the war in Europe in its final weeks with intense fighting and many significant events. These included the continuing bloody Allied invasion of Germany and the Battle of Berlin and Soviet advance into that city. As Allied forces in the West closed in they liberated concentration camps like Bergen-Belsen. April was also marked by the execution of Benito Mussolini suicide of Adolf Hitler and on April 12 the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. On May 8 V-E Day the war in Europe would come to an end. While his role as a military leader was crucial to the war’s outcome Eisenhower was equally important in the documentation of Nazi brutality and the truth of the Holocaust. This was an important aspect of April 1945 for him. On April 4 the Third United States Army liberated the Ohrdruf camp. That camp was an extension of the Buchenwald Concentration Camp. On the day of liberation the SS members of Ohrdruf evacuated many of the prisoners on death marches. As U.S. troops arrived they found scenes of mass murder while also coming into contact with the camp’s surviving prisoners. The living prisoners were starving emaciated and desperately needed medical attention. Eisenhower along with Generals George Patton and Omar Bradley visited the Ohrdruf concentration camp personally on April 12 1945. While driving towards the camp the smell of decaying flesh was present and dead bodies littered the streets. Eisenhower was “never so angry in my life” stating that the “English language didn’t even have words that could describe” what he saw. Eisenhower wrote to Winston Churchill following his time at Ohrdruf stating that “everything you read in the paper does not adequately describe what has really happened here.” Thus in April 1945 Eisenhower was profoundly impacted by the horrors that he witnessed and demanded that newspaper editors representative groups German civilians and Allied soldiers bear witness. Typed letter signed on his Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force letterhead Germany April 6 1945 just two days after the taking of Ohrdruf and six days before his famous visit there to Mrs. Mamie Metz thanking her and the American people for their support of the army in the field and appreciation of its sacrifices. “Many thanks for your interesting letter. It is always encouraging to be reassured that the people at home are 100% behind us and appreciate the sacrifices of our troops. My thanks also for your good wishes to me and all my command.” An important statement showing Eisenhower’s feelings about the American people’s sustaining and backing the army and gratitude for the sacrifices of the soldiers issued right near the end of World War II in Europe.
