 Did Ike ever get accused of being a Nazi?

"Communist" or "Communist dupe" were the accusations thrown at Ike by the loony fringe.
Eisenhower put his influence behind the original version of the 1957 civil rights act - to no effect due to the southern-western filibuster - and was very unhappy to see it cut down to an ineffective shadow of itself.  This hurt him in certain circles but as most of the virulent racists a this time supported the Democrats anyway, he didn't mind.
  Seems his activities 1942-45

should have forever inoculated him against that particular canard.
Ditto Truman, JFK and Nixon all of whom served in combat. (Well Truman
was a WW1 artilleryman)

Even LBJ managed to get shot at during his months in the navy.
