On 17 December 1944, the 1st SS Panzer Division, commanded by Joachim Peiper, was heading west from Büllingen, Belgium. This movement was part of the general German advance during the Battle of the Bulge. At the same time, a US convoy of thirty vehicles and nearly 140 men of the 285th Field Artillery Observation Battalion was heading south from Hürtgen Forest toward Ligneuville. The two forces converged just before noon at the crossroads hamlet of Baugnez, 4 kilometers south of Malmedy. SS soldiers immediately began firing upon the US troops, who panicked. Those who did not escape, including medical personnel, quickly surrendered. After being searched and relieved of their personal possessions, the US soldiers were lined up in eight rows in a field at the crossroads. Survivors of the atrocity recalled that a group of approximately 120 U.S. prisoners of war stood in the farmer's field when the SS soldiers fired machine guns at the grouped Americans.

Joachim Peiper was sentenced to death but excaped the rope with a reduced sentence. He later worked for Volkeswagen. He was assinated in France in 1976.

Joachim Peiper was a German Soldier, obeying orders from his Superiors. If he had chosen to disobey those orders, he would have been shot by his own military. Allied Troops did the exact same thing. A few were even executed for Desertion. Very sad.

@@MrShenyang1234No, he was SS. You don't just get drafted into SS, you undergo extensive training, filtering of too unfit/not tough enough people, and multiple tests to see if you'd faithfully carry out orders. You literally have to prove over and over that you're Super into being a Nazi, so they don't risk desertion. Wehrmacht is what you're talking about, but the myth of "clean Wehrmacht" only circulated once their superiors were captured... Hmm... 😂

I’m going to go ahead and say it: This is by far the most meticulously researched and well-produced World War II history channel on KZfaq. The archive film and photos are a gift, better than most anything ever produced for TV. The format and formula are perfect, the background music is perfect, and as I’ve said many many times: the narrator is a damn savage. Thank you WHC for what must be a monumental effort in shining light into these dark corners of history. You are still holding to account the perpetrators, and thank you for delivering that karmic justice. Congratulations on 300k subscribers!! I never had a doubt WHC would achieve that milestone.

My father was 30th Division which moved into a line between Stavelot and Malmedy on the day after the massacre, trapping the 1st SS armor in a pocket with the Ambleve river at their back. They soon knew about the massacre and stopped taking SS prisoners as they reduced the 1st SS, but I came across an interesting entry in the 30th Medical Department Diary a couple of weeks later. As they pushed the Germans back towards St. Vith a Sgt. Rice makes an entry in the journal that Wehrmacht prisoners are showing up in the rear with frost bitten feet because the GIs are taking their boots away before marching them to the rear. He says they are doing this to "make them sorry they are Germans." The massacre at Baugnez crossroads was repaid to German prisoners for the rest of the war. War is hell, as they say.

Not the ideal response, perhaps, but understandable at that moment, and undoubtedly 99% of these Waffen SS murdered unarmed enemy soldiers, partisans & civilians on both fronts at some point. And we see how ineffective the war crimes "trials" ended up being. The nazi Peiper of all people was released after 12 years and had to be finally dealt with extra-judiciously with a very fitting and unpleasant ending because military lawyers & judges were too stupid to do it properly straight away. So, as the narrator frequently opines..."no tears shed."

Other accounts indicate otherwise. He may well not have been personally there, but his men were so he's in the soup with them. His trial indicated his guilt. Then there's the 99% rule for the SS. 99.9% for the Allgemeine SS. Nobody jumped in at the trials or well after saying, "It was me, and my SS verbande, not Joachim!" As for the element of the 11th US Armor? A travesty they did not face accountability as well. People unjustly escape accountability for massacres temporally all the time. Ultimately, they do not. Every move, every thought, every utterance is recorded for the final review.

@frankbaine3918 His trial was a shame. The troops that shot these prisoners were from the 1st SS Reconnaissance Battalion, which were not part of his command. None of his troops were even still at the crossroads, they were 8 miles further down the road. This was known and confirmed before his trial even started. I am not saying he was a Saint, far from the truth. However, he was not responsible in any way for the Malmedy Massacre.

Can anyone answer what the 285th Field Artillery Observation Battalion's job was? I was in the Field Artillery back in 1971-1973 and we had Forward Observer teams that were sent out attached to Infantry and Armor units but they consisted of usually an officer, a sergeant and an enlisted man as an RTO (Radio Telephone Operator), I went out as an RTO myself a few times when they needed a replacement. That said, why did they need an entire battalion of observers? This has always puzzled me.

In the early '80's I was working in Germany and had a German girlfriend. One weekend, her father came to visit us. I casually mentioned that I was recently in Washington State to visit my sister. My girlfriend's father then stated that he too had been to Washington State. I asked, "Oh, were you on vacation?" His face immediately turned bright red, and he slammed his fist on the table while screaming - "No! I was a prisoner of war!" I looked at my girlfriend standing behind him and she signaled for me to drop the subject. I did ask what he did as a POW, and he said that he picked apples. I was very tempted to say, "Well pal, that was a whole lot better than working in a dank coal mine in Siberia as a Russian POW, wasn't it?", but I kept my mouth shut. There was no doubt in my mind that he was STILL a Nazi, and probably served in the SS. I wondered about how many Americans that he had killed, before he was captured. I thank God that he didn't become my father-in-law.

The Cowra Breakout as it is called was hastily planned. On August 4 1944, Sergeant Major Kanazawa called a meeting of 20 hut leaders, because the Aussies were going to transfer junior ranks to another camp. On August 5, at 2.00 am, about 1,000 Japanese stormed the perimeter fence. 234 Japanese died. 4 Aussie guards were killed. Many Japanese who actually got out committed suicide by jumping in front of trains or hanging themselves. There is a beautiful Japanese cemetery at Cowra maintained by both Japanese & Aussie governments. War is SO pointless, is it not?...

I believe when the Japanese prisoners was trying to warn the Australians what was going to happen but wasn't able to in time. One of the guards knowing they were going to be over ran took out the firing pin out of the machine gun and hit it so the Japanese couldn't use it.

We can now look back and want to criticize the American soldiers? Folks fail to understand that soldiers are HUMANS who will gladly die just so their comrades will live. To hear your brothers in arms will killed despite have surrendered, you will be a coward to not want to avenge your brother (if the tables were turned, those brothers of yours who were killed will avenge you and you know it!) Even if senior commanders had attempted to stop a revenge, it would have been v bad and such would have failed. I am not saying the actions of these soldiers were right or excusable, rather I am saying ALL PARTIES MUST adhere to the rules of war cos failure of doing this will have grave repercussions on you too. See ALL the lives lost and destructions of WW2 could have been avoided if Hitler and his cohorts were never entertained by the great people of Germany. I am not saying the German folks are to blame, certainly not! Hitler is to be blamed!! However, the Great Germans should have taken care of business inhouse. Well, the beloved who died in WW2 will hope and pray that me and you will learn and live life more peacefully, we are better together, brothers and sisters, beautiful human race

Advancing troops in major battles were given orders to not slow down for rounding up prisoners. These orders were issued to US paratroopers on DDay and Peiper’s troops. Both killed POWs but only the Germans were tried for war crimes. More civilians were killed by US bombers at Stavelot and Caen than by SS troops. War is hell.

@@TheRetirednavy92 The biggest was the Canicattì massacre. During the allied invasion of Sicily in the city of Canicattì, after the bombing of a local production factory locals were scavenging the ruins for soaps, food and anything useful in war time. Lt. Colonel George Herbert McCaffrey,(who was appointed Military Governor of the Palermo region) along with US troops and military police arrived and told the civilians to disperse yet none did. McCaffrey would then order the troops to fire on the civilians to get them to leave, eight civilians were killed, the youngest was an eleven year old girl. Though the total number dead is disputed by historians believing there to be more victims. Nobody knew such an event occurred, with McCaffrey dying from a heart attack in 1954 during a doctors visit to treat his tuberculosis escaping justice for his massacre of innocent civilians. The public then learned of this war crime due to it being published by Joseph S. Salemi after his own father who was a witness to the event would tell him about it.

My Uncle Claude Piersall was in the heavy artillery in France on a 203 mm (8 inch) gun crew. The anti-aircraft team downed a German fighter and they could see with their field glasses the parachutist had his hands up to surrender. Probably some nice German Lutheran man glad his War experience was over and ready to go to a POW camp for a few months. A jeep with three men drove across the wheat field and a shot rang out from an M1 Carbine and the parachuter slumped dead. The men jumped out of the Jeep and grabbed him as he came down and stripped him of his watch and flight jacket before dropping him to the earth to lay. Uncle Claude told me this 37 years or so after it happened and he wept because it was so unfair. I read Journalist Andy Rooney's book and he said Germans who clearly wanted to surrender were not allowed to as Americans kept firing artillery at them.
