No restrictions were placed on the material. Linear feet of shelf space occupied: .4 Approximate number of pages: 250 Approximate number of items: 50 SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE Colonel Edmund Ellis was a member of the U.S. Military Academy Class of 1915. This class included Henry Aurand, Omar Bradley, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John Leonard, Henry Sayler, James Van Fleet, and a number of other famous generals. Ellis served as class secretary for many years and compiled periodic news letters which contained information about the members of the class and their families. Copies of the news letters were distributed to surviving classmates and spouses. In 1971 Ellis began donating copies of the newsletter to the Eisenhower Library. This collection contains the newsletters from 1971 to 1982 as well as some earlier printed material on the class and some memorabilia relating to West Point and class reunions. The newsletter was discontinued after 1982 due to the decline in the number of classmates. By 1991 Colonel Ellis and General Van Fleet were the only two surviving members of the class. Ellis, who was born in March 1890, became the oldest living graduate of West Point in October 1990.

  • Nazi War Crimes and Japanese Imperial Government Records Interagency Working Group
    HISTORICAL MATERIALS IN THE DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER LIBRARY OF INTEREST TO THE NAZI WAR CRIMES AND JAPANESE IMPERIAL GOVERNMENT RECORDS INTERAGENCY WORKING GROUP The Dwight D. Eisenhower Library holds a large quantity of documentation relating to World War II and to the Cold War era. Information relating to war crimes committed by Nazi Germany and by the Japanese Government during World War II can be found widely scattered within the Library’s holdings. The Nazi War Crimes and Japanese Imperial Government Records Interagency Working Group is mandated to identify, locate and, as necessary, declassify records pertaining to war crimes committed by Nazi Germany and Japan. In order to assist the Interagency Working Group in carrying out this mission, the Library staff endeavored to identify historical documentation within its holdings relating to this topic. The staff conducted its search as broadly and as thoroughly as staff time, resources, and intellectual control allowed and prepared this guide to assist interested members of the public in conducting research on documents relating generally to Nazi and Japanese war crimes. The search covered post- war references to such crimes, the use of individuals who may have been involved in such crimes for intelligence or other purposes, and the handling of captured enemy assets. Therefore, while much of the documentation described herein was originated during the years when the United States was involved in World War II (1939 to 1945) one marginal document originated prior to this period can be found and numerous post-war items are also covered, especially materials concerning United States handling of captured German and Japanese assets and correspondence relating to clemency for Japanese soldiers convicted and imprisoned for war crimes.

  • Victory Program
    WORLD WAR II’s REAL VICTORY PROGRAM Author: James Lacey Word Count: 8,219 It has long been an article of faith among World War II historians that then Major Albert Wedemeyer, a junior member of the Army’s War Plans Division, foresaw and laid out America’s mobilization and production effort during World War II. The basis of this claim lies in a fourteen page document, The Ultimate Requirements Study: Estimate of Army Ground Forces, which Wedemeyer completed in early September of 1941. The histories of World War II, which mention what became known as the “Victory Program,” generally focus on this as a document of remarkable prescience and the basis of most of America’s wartime strategic and mobilization planning. Ironically, such reviewers developed this opinion without ever reading the document. In fact, Wedemeyer’s “Victory Program” was wrong in nearly every particular.1 Moreover, its effect on mobilization or future war plans appears to have been virtually nil. In fact, one searches in vain for documents, memos, or letters produced during the war that reference Wedemeyer’s program.2 In modern terms, Wedemeyer’s version of the “Victory 1 An early copy of this document can be found in the Wedemeyer Papers, Box 76, Hoover Institute, Stanford University. It has been reprinted: Charles E. Kirkpatrick, An Unknown Future and a Doubtful Present: Writing the Victory Plan of 1941(Washington D.C., 1992). 2 There is not a single copy to be found in any of the records of the Office of Production Management, The War Production Board, or FDR’s War Files, nor is it mentioned in any of the early histories of these organizations or their successors.

DOI: 20 France and the German Rearmament Problem 1945-1955 GEORGES-HENRI SouTou The Fourth Republic was shaken by many crises, but none aroused as much passion as the debate on the European Defence Community. When in 1950, five years after the end of the war and occupation, the suggestion of German rearmament was put to the French, the whole nation was profoundly shocked. However, thanks to recent research, particularly by Pierre Guillen and Raymond Poidevin, we know that many people realized very early on that the Soviet threat made rearma- ment inevitable. Many of those who accepted this painful necessity nevertheless disputed the terms of rearmament.

  • Hommage À Maurice Schumann Au Cours De Sa Réunion Du 15 Juin
    - 1 - Hommage à Maurice Schumann Au cours de sa réunion du 15 juin 2011, la commission a rendu hommage à son ancien président, M. Maurice Schumann, à l’occasion du centième anniversaire de sa naissance. Intervention du Professeur David Bellamy, maître de conférences en histoire contemporaine à l’université de Picardie-Jules Verne à Amiens A bien des égards, l’automne de l’année 1944 constitue dans la vie de Maurice Schumann un apogée. Il est probable qu’il dut le ressentir ainsi. La cause qu’il avait embrassée avec ferveur, auprès du général de Gaulle en juin 1940, la libération du territoire national, était en cours. Bien plus et comme il l’avait souhaité dès la signature de son engagement dans la France libre, il participait à cette libération, sur le terrain, comme combattant. Dans la matinée du 6 juin 1944, intégré au corps expéditionnaire britannique, il avait posé, enfin !, le pied sur le sol de la patrie, à Asnelles, s’emparant d’une poignée se sable qu’il avait embrassée. Ce moment de sa vie fut d’une telle intensité qu’il décida de faire de cette petite commune normande le lieu de son inhumation et c’est là qu’il repose aujourd’hui. Une semaine après son propre débarquement, il avait accueilli, sur la plage de Courseulles, son chef, le général de Gaulle, puis l’avait annoncé aux populations de Bayeux, sur la grand’ place de cette ville, avec les mots célèbres qu’il avait tant de fois répétés au micro de la BBC : « Honneur et Patrie, vous allez entendre le général de Gaulle ».

MAJ MORRISON: Sir, you were in the class of 1940 in the Army Industrial College. Under what circumstances were you assigned twthe General Staff? LTG AURAND: Because of the contemplated increase in the Regular Army, the class of 1940 at the Army Industrial College graduated a few weeks ahead of time. Nearly all the students had orders before the closing date arrived, but I did not. It seems the Chief of Ordnance was not . kindly disposed to me. Finally, orders came which assigned me as the Assistant Fiscal Officer of the Ordnance Department. I consider this to be a dead end street.
