Hitler killed himself...so did his wife. Eisenhower was in charge of the European assult on Normandy. He was the general of the army - but then at the same time McArthur was general of the Army leading the raid on the Pacific. Eisenhower was a great man and i wish him to be remembered for his great achivements! God Bless America!
