Remember the photo of Ike's West Point yearbook picture when he was dubbed "IKE, THE TERRIBLE SWEDISH JEW"? By the way, he was next, or nearly so, to the last in his class. This article was first printed in 1990, but we thought it was meaningful to reprint it now.
Note: During Cadet Eisenhower's time at West Point Academy, Eisenhower was summoned to the office of the headmaster and was asked some pointed questions. At the time, it was routine procedure to test a cadet's blood to insure White racial integrity.
Apparently, there was a question of Eisenhower's racial lineage and this was brought to Eisenhower's attention by the headmaster. When asked if he was part Oriental, Eisenhower replied in the negative. After some discussion, Eisenhower admitted having Jewish background. The headmaster then reportedly said, "That's where you get your Oriental blood?" Although he was allowed to remain at the academy, word got around since this was a time in history when non-Whites were not allowed into the academy. Note - The issue of Eisenhower's little-known Jewish background in academically essential in understanding his psychopathic hatred of German men, women and children.
Later, in Eisenhower's West Point Military Academy graduating class yearbook, published in 1915, Eisenhower is identified as a "terrible Swedish Jew."
Wherever Eisenhower went during his military career, Eisenhower's Jewish background and secondary manifesting behavior was a concern to his fellow officers. During World War II when Col. Eisenhower was working for Gen. Douglas MacArthur in the South Pacific, MacArthur protested to his superiors in Washington (DC) that Eisenhower was incompetent and that he did not want Eisenhower on his staff.
In 1943, Washington not only transferred Col. Eisenhower to Europe but promoted him over more than 30 more experienced senior officers to five star general and placed him in charge of all the US forces in Europe.
Thus it comes as no surprise that General George Patton, a real Aryan warrior, hated Eisenhower.

Wiki: "Eisenhower graduated in the upper half of the class of 1915.[15] The 1915 class was known as "the class the stars fell on", because 59 members eventually became general officers."
So much for rumors circulated here that Ike was dead last in his class and other obvious falsehoods.
Thus it comes as no surprise that General George Patton, a real Aryan warrior, hated Eisenhower.
Uh-huh.
Eisenhower graduated in 1915. He served with the infantry until 1918 at various camps in Texas and Georgia. During World War I, Eisenhower became the #3 leader of the new tank corps and rose to temporary (Bvt.) Lieutenant Colonel in the National Army. During the war he trained tank crews at "Camp Colt"—his first command—on the grounds of "Pickett's Charge" on the Gettysburg, Pennsylvania Civil War battle site. Ike and his tank crews never saw combat. After the war, Eisenhower reverted to his regular rank of captain (and was promoted to major a few days later) before assuming duties at Camp Meade, Maryland, where he remained until 1922. His interest in tank warfare was strengthened by many conversations with George S. Patton and other senior tank leaders; however their ideas on tank warfare were strongly discouraged by superiors.
Ike and Patton were held back by the Army old guard who thought cavalry was the thing and that tanks and machine guns were too nasty. These are the same "senior officers" that both Patton and Ike got promoted over when it became clear that Hitler and Tojo did not hold such refined views on the use of tanks and machine guns. In addition, the careers of the 59 generals graduating in the West Point class of 1915 shows that it wasn't just a couple of young bucks like Ike that got promoted over the old Army lifers, it was a bunch of them. Your narrative does nothing to account for this, let alone the obvious factual errors you're airing here.
And while I am no Patton expert, I suspect he'd bitch-slap you into next week if you ever called him an "Aryan" to his face. Patton was a man of war and wanted to beat the Nazis first and then take on the Russkies. I am aware of the quote attributed to Patton (i.e. "The Aryan mind is helpless in the face of the Jewish mind.") but I have concluded that it is merely a fabrication made by David Lane to the gullible readers of St*rmfr*nt, R*nse, Ary*n-N*t**n.org, and other websites that aren't exactly neutral arbiters of history. Notice that David Lane offers absolutely no proof that Patton ever made such a statement yet many people (who should know better) accept his assertion at face value.
Interesting video. Too bad so little of it is true. Naturally, they offer no sources for these quotes.

Letters They Wouldn’t Publish
Letters to the Editor The Weekly Standard

Dear Editor:
Jonathan F. Keiler (Correspondence, July 18) asserts that “there is no evidence that [General George S. Patton's] anti-Semitism, even if it exceeded the usual country-club variety, affected his conduct during the war.”
Prof. Joseph Bendersky, in his study of antisemitism in the American military (“The ‘Jewish Threat’,” 2000), described two important instances in which Patton, motivated by antisemitism, influenced U.S. policy toward Jews. Following the Allied liberation of North Africa in November 1942, Patton, warning of a Jewish conspiracy to “take over” Morocco and the need to appease Arab public opinion, persuaded General Eisenhower to oppose abolishing the anti-Jewish legislation that the Vichy regime had imposed in the region, or even releasing local Jews who were being held in forced labor camps. Eisenhower’s recommendations in turn were endorsed by Secretary of War Henry Stimson, and soon “set the tone for future American wartime policies on the entire Middle East.”
After the war, Bendersky writes, it was Patton who “set the tone for army policies and behavior” toward the Holocaust survivors who were languishing in Displaced Persons camps in the American zone of occupation. Patton despised the Jewish DPs, denouncing them as “animals” and “a sub-human species without any of the cultural or social refinements of our time.” Such attitudes inevitably filtered down to the officers and soldiers in charge of the camps. The treatment of the DPs was so poor that presidential envoy Earl Harrison, after touring the camps in 1945, reported that “We appear to be treating the Jews as the Nazis treated them except that we do not exterminate them.” When President Truman ordered Eisenhower to improve treatment of the DPs, a furious Patton wrote in his diary: “Harrison and his ilk believe that the displaced person is a human being, which he is not, and this applies particularly to the Jews, who are lower than animals.”
Sincerely,

If even the professional Holocaust industry won't go after Patton other than for a few relatively minor issues, then I suspect there is little substance. What you often find when investigating these claims made by persons and groups with their own ax to grind is that they often manufacture these quotes and stories and there is absolutely nothing to back them up. But that doesn't stop Bubba from believing it because Bubba saw it on YouTube. And some Bubbas want to believe it so they accept it uncritically.
That Patton was a volatile leader with an even more volatile mouth, no one denies. He had plenty of obnoxious opinions on many matters other than Jews or Aryans or Russians. And while he decried the plight of Germans, he was also one of the most bloodthirsty anti-Nazis around at the time.
Like many great generals, he was more than a little bit of a wacko. And a great general is often not a great man or a great thinker.

Good heavens.
Surely there are other dastardly and vile names you can think of to describe Patton.
