I cant find a source for the 43 surrender but I heard it on the histtory channel which I guess in its self is not always a good source.
I don't know what you think you heard, but there was no such offer of surrender in 1943, let alone by the 'entire SS', nor even any suggestion of one. The idea is utterly ludicrous.
The german military offered a surrender if the russians were not allowed to enter central Europe. But he told the president they should not consider surrender even though the English were ready to accept. But I can find many about him still refusing the 45 surrender.

1943 I've already covered. Moving to 1945, the Germans were already beaten (and Hitler was already dead). The offer of 'surrender' to the Western allies was simply a desperate attempt to end the war on one front to concentrate on fighting the Soviets on the other. Eisenhower quite rightly insisted on unconditional surrender, doing otherwise would not only have lengthened the war rather than shortened it (you think the Russians would have turned around and gone home?!), but quite possibly led to a 'hot' commencement of what turned out to be the Cold War. It was also totally politically unacceptable. The only US notable general who expressed any sort of sympathies for such an idea was, ironically enough, Patton. The Germans surrendered unconditionally a whole week later.
Right its been a while since I heard about this is was 1.7 million which does not really change much. I did not actually read this page that much so Im not sure if its what I was looking for or not.

"Author unknown" on a website of a professional conspiracy theorist?! C'mon, the literature on WW2 from writers in all countries involved is vast and there isn't the slightest suggestion in any even halfway reputable source any such thing happened. You think the Germans might just have noticed, hmm.. ? Conditions were unpleasant for many Germans who surrendered towards the end of the war simply because of the vast numbers of them, which the Western Allies' supply system simply wasn't set up to deal with. Many Germans moved west solely to surrender to the Americans or British rather than the Soviets, and with good reason. They were released (with the exception of suspected war criminals) when the war ended. The majority of PoW's taken by the Russians never came home. Most died during the war principally as a result of lack of food and medicines made worse by the terrible condition many were in prior to capture. Stalin was in no mood to provide supplies his own forces were short of, and prison camps were located in hostile climates. Most of the survivors were sent home at the end of the war, although some remained in captivity until Stalin's death.
I did not mean he was killed or something I ment he was going to tell the government about the things eisenhower was doing before he died.
He died as a result of his injuries. Again, I can find no evidence for him being about to tell the government anything about what Eisenhower was supposedly doing. Eisenhower had just fired him (although they were friends until that point, he had little choice) as Patton was by then opening advocating using a reconstructed
Wehrmacht as a potential ally in an immediate war against the USSR.
But the one that escalated things was fake and they have admitted it, thats bad enough. But they say it was false data or something like the false data in Iraq. E

If you actually read that article you will see nothing was 'faked', it was all a complete screw-up. As has been pointed out already Johnson was president, not Eisenhower, and the
last thing he wanted was significant US military involvement in Vietnam as he was rather less optimistic than his predecessor as to where US intervention might end up. He just found himself with little choice with the situation that then existed; Kennedy had already effectively committed the US to the path it subsequently took.
With all due respect, you really do need to do at least minimal research before presenting such complete nonsense as fact. It does make you rather hard to take seriously on anything else, including matters rather more on topic!
As the lady said, give them up. They'll kill you.
