Could Eisenhower have served the German state?
Could Eisenhower have served the German state?
Josef Stalin, leader of the Russian Mafia.If Stalin's family moved to New York City when he was 7 for some reason he wouldn't have grown up to be a dictator. He may well have been a thug of some sort but not a dictator as the culture wasn't conducive of that.
Which emigration of the Eisenhauer/Eisenhower family are you talking about?
The emigration from Germany to Switzerland in the 17th century, or the emigration from Switzerland to the British Colonies in the early 18th century?
Any which way you look at it though, the Eisenhauer/Eisenhower family left Germany 400 years ago. A whole bushel of butterflies lies between then and the birth of little Ike.

Exactly. That many centuries of butterflies means a totally different 20th century.
Even the strongest butterfly nets cant get the same marriages to work on a different continent. So 'Ike' is guaranteed not only not to exist, but to not have any close relative in such a tl.
That's really just as scary as OTL Stalin.
Unless the Question is "What if Eisenhower's family emigrated to Germany?" instead.
