Jerry Duncan

Jerry Duncan was a Republican US Congressman from Indiana. A member of the conservative wing the GOP, Duncan had opposed Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal, and had been isolationist until Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. After World War II ended, Duncan became one of the critical Congressional leaders in calling for an end to the occupation of Germany.

Duncan began his opposition after one of his constituents, Diana McGraw, shared with him the fact that nearly one thousand American troops had been killed by the actions of the German Freedom Front in the six months immediately following Germany's official surrender.
