        As you know, Ike would not come down the hallway to be a part of the signing ceremony, because there was not an officer of his peer rank from the other countries attending. He sent Gen. Bedel Smith into the room to sign for the US.

        I read once that “Ike’s grin was worth ten Army divisions.” Amazing guy.

        Amazing how much more understated the German surrender was compared to the Japanese surrender on the Missouri. A clear illustration of the difference between Ike and MacArthur. And look which of the two became president.

        Actually, Ike refused to come down the hallway to sign the surrender document, because there was no officer of his peer rank attending for the Germans, Russians, British, or French. He sent Gen. Bedell Smith into the room to sign. Gen. Smith was a native of Indianapolis.

        Ike got along with everybody. That was important.

        Ike did not receive the german surrender, it was Walter Bedell Smith. Ike refused to meet the nazis.

        Smith went on to become Director of the CIA a few years later. Consummate Cold Warrior.

        looks pretty good for 55. especially considering all the stress he had endured for the last four years. oh, and the smokes. lots of smokes. FDR was 63, but looked 83 in pictures toward the end.
