I agree with you and don't doubt your statement. I'll caution you on the NPR source. To me, NPR tends to be very biased and their credibility is questionable. In the NPR link you provided there is no mention of "Germans" whatsoever. This must have come from a different source. I will however say this.
Eisenhower, Churchill, and De Gaulle all wrote memoirs of WWII.
Eisenhower’s book, “Crusade in Europe” (1948), is a single volume of some 550 pages.
Charles de Gaulle’s work, "The Complete War Memoirs" (1954/1964), consists of 3-volumes and a total of more than 2,000 pages.
“The largest memoir was written by Churchill. "The Second World War" (1948-1953) is a massive, 6-volume account of the war, consuming nearly 4,500 pages of text.
That's a total of 10 volumes and 7,050 pages containing no mentioning or reference of the Holocaust. Interesting, no?
SOURCE: A book by Thomas Dalton reports “Postwar memoirs of three top Allied leaders — Eisenhower, Churchill, and De Gaulle”
Yeah, NPR would normally not be my first choice for anything of historical reference. But since I was just looking for a quote, and it popped up in my immediate search, I selected it.
