Wait after the war we killed over a million German soldiers who had surrendered by placing them in concentration camps and starving them. And the US also shot anyone who tried to feed them. And all this was done under Ike’s orders?
This is news to me.

Because it never happened. We desperately needed those Germen POW solders to help rebuild Germany after the war so the USSR could not take it over.

I read that a rather large number of German POWs remained in the US after the war because there were few jobs for them in Germany. Additionally the remittance from the wages they earned was desperately needed in Germany.
