//I suppose you happen to forget the GI's who were shot as POWs by the SS during the Battle of the Bulge Campaign PP. Unlike you not to bring up the Malmedy massacre for a change. //
which of course I DO recollect and was looking up tonight but thought it was unsuitable - yup unsuitable
One of Daddys co-POWs was a witness to the earlier Wormhout massacre 1940. by the adolf hitler standart regiment and no one was indicted for that one as it was successfully argued all the crims/perps had died on the Russian front in 1942
The same regiment 'DID' Malmedy Jan 1945
and the incredible account of their trial and .... acquittal is here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malmedy_massacre_trial
Peiper and his freunde [ the shooters/perps/crims] were successfully able to plead that they had been er tortured and had had confessions beaten out of them. They were acquitted on appeal. Their abusers were German national interrogators who had fled early to Amerikee. NOT an event to celebrate
Lucius Clay ( US general) was unable to refute allegations of duress and mock executions and russian roulette committed by his men, and then in the end admitted that ALL the confessions were affected
