Taillefer
Near the end of the third volume of his works , Robert Ripley mentions Taillefer under the heading "General Eisenhower" , pointing out the coincidences between the Allied general and the Norman knight . Taillefer embarked from the shore of Normandy where the Allies landed on D-Day in World War II . The Battle of Hastings was on 14 October 1066 , and Taillefer died on that day; Eisenhower was born on 14 October 1890; and "Eisenhower" can be translated from German as "hewer of iron" .
