 Müller wished to make the party multi-confessional, while Schäffer tried to move it towards a revival of the Catholic-dominated BVP.He was made the first postwar prime minister of Bavaria by General George S. Patton in 1945 but was relieved of his post by General Dwight D. Eisenhower after a couple of months, when his anti-Semitic past became known.Eisenhower, unlike Patton, also disliked the fact that Schäffer hired ex-Nazis for his administration.
