That’s how it was, even if u were SS then they would most likely kill you. But The allies did this to Italians and Germans. But no one cares

Italo 1 : Who cares? The Axis countries started the war, committed atrocities, and were met by the allies who knew they were fighting for keeps! Did Americans kill enemy prisoners? Yes. Did the Germans kill millions of men, women, children, and soldiers? Yes!

@@oldguysrock2170 no one ask about how many German soldier kill people that day because it's pretty obvious they killed many people Why would someone ask that question?

906 Sparky americans killed also milions of people. Read something else than american propaganda.

Dr Schnaps : Not propaganda. American history teaches how 200,000 German civilians were killed in Dresden during American bombing missions to destroy German industry. Americans killed 250,000 Japanese at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In doing so, WW2 was shortened, victory obtained, and loss of American lives reduced. WW2 was a war being fought for keeps. Tech did not exist for precision pin point air strikes. Not American propaganda. American history.

My grandfather was in the 12 SS hitlerjugend panzer division in the Ardennes

Americans got revenge we lined up German soldiers and shot them in the battle of the bulge war is hell also American Gi in the battle of the bulge and in Germany killed most of every SS German soldier they saw

wow - how brave. The LSSAH, Das Reich and Hitler Jugend would have slaughtered the US and allies in battle if they were playing on a level playing field - the most elite soldiers in the history of war had NO air cover at all - they'd been bounced around by Hitler from the eastern to western front, their soldier KIA % rate was appalling, they gave their lives. My Great Grand Father fought against the LSSAH in Greece, MANY Australian diggers were taken prisoner by the most elite of the elite the LSSAH - and I will NEVER ever forget how Pop told us as a family they were treated with respect, decency, and almost like the LSSAH revered the Diggers as their reputations from the Great War and Second World War were held in such high esteem. What you have here is facts, evidence, context - one US soldier cost his mates their lives by being a whimpering pussy, NOT a soldier, not a man, and ran, and it was an AMERICAN GI who pulled the trigger first - this is what triggered the events in Malmedy. But hey - let's just pile on those evil Waffen SS soldiers - the SS compromised MANY different elements - the Waffen [armed] SS were NOT responsible for concentration camps or mass killings. And the US DID kill surrendering Waffen and general German armed forces soldiers. Shit happens - that's war. Absolutionists are so irrelevant.@@Joebraindeadbiden

additionally, ironically around halfway into the war the Waffen SS had suffered so many casualties that they moved from a volunteer faction into having regular "forced" conscripts, so towards the end of the war about half of the Waffen SS were regular conscripted men, same as the army. @@B.T.R.-sj4if

@@darylchristophermercado9583 you don't know what you speak of fool

Yee. This scene is so inaccurate, it literally justifies the Malmedy Massacre

Ja, das ist die Natur des totalen Krieges

Jack. I used to live in the Ardennes region. The massacre happened on December 17th 1944 and a lot of pictures by war correspondents were taken on January 15th 1945. Between those two dates (one month) there were many days of snow. Actually it was one of the worst winter in the area for a long time. Not only the bodies were left on the site all that time for the journalists to report about it... local witness testified that some of the bodies where so scattered and far that for the convenience of the photographer they were brought in together as being killed with the main group. That's how the total of 84 was reached. I just put another comment on this page that you may find interesting for the historical point of view...

Jack Smith--You are wrong. A few American soldiers DID run when the shooting started. They did not all just fall to the ground.

Well when Hollywood can make the movie 'The Great Escape' and make an American the hero of it you know accuracy was never important to Hollywood. There were no Americans involved in the actual great escape.

They even went in after and bashed the skulls in and cut their eyes out and other horrible things to the soldiers . The officers told the soldiers to ‘stand fast ‘ when the shooting started , no body ran .

But after some ran into a barn and the Germans set fire to it and shot them when they came out .

oh I am so sick of this cliche, almost as lame as "war is bad" In my history classes [& government] I have a set of classic scales - in this case we will put the US & GB on one side, Nazi Germany & Fascist Japan on the other.... you know who is going to bottom out on bad & evil. Study the post Cold War report on Dresden - it is not Vonnegut's lie. The atomic bombs saved the lives of many millions of Japanese - do you think the IJA was going to share their meager rations with the young, handicapped, elderly?

I doubt you would know for certain if they did run or not

what the hell hahaha 😂

nah most of them didnt face trial peiper the commander was set free

what was the name of this massacre

@@jflsdknf The Malmedy Massacre

The trial did take place and 74 men convicted most served short prison terms Pieper being released 1956, present at the shooting were 2 tanks = 10 men & 2 half tracks = 16 men, the first shot was fired by Georg Fleps armed with a pistol, the Germans suffered no casualties unlike what is portrayed here

the story is like this. The allies looked out to link the Waffen-SS to war crimes to find a way to create an obvious fact to declare the Waffen-SS as a warcrime-unit. Further on every soldier which had been part of a war-crime-unit (here Waffen-SS) could be punished to whatever the fantasy would bring out. Joachim Peiper was a high decorated officer who worked before his Waffen-SS career for Himmler. Keep that all in mind! What happende really: The combat-group "Joachim Peiper": Joachim Peiper was leading his battle-group of king-tiger tanks around Malmedy when US-soldiers could be identified. After a small exchange of bullets and several dead US-Soldiers, the US-soldiers capitulate. Joachim Peiper, in one of the first tanks told the soldiers, to lay down their weapons and follow the tank line back to the german infantry, where they would be arrested, as he has neither the time nor the place to look after them inside the tanks. After this the tank-convoy headed forward to the front. BUT the US-soldiers didnt follow what Peiper sad. Once the tanks had been out of side they picked up their weapons AND the next german group arrived on the field thinking there is a bunch of enemies to kill. So killing went on. That was the killing of Malmedy, NOT a massacre of Malmedy. During the prozess in Dachau against members of Peiper-battle-group 98% had been tortured with the result of destoyed testies. That show, the americans have had no evidence of nothing for this so-called massacre and (as usual) they created affidativs and other evidence. Joachim Peiper had been released 10 years later due to "lack of evidence". But the point was already made. From this day on the Malmedy-massacre had been told all over the world, one of the key divisions of the Waffen-SS had been shown guilty, therefore ALL units and ALL soldiers of the Waffen-SS had been treated guilty. The world didnt notice, that Joachim Peiper had been released from prison due to "lack of evidence" => A JOKE !

Dan Smith wrong. There were a couple of 101st caught up in this.

if this was the malmedy massacre, the g.I.s shot during that day came from an engineer unit, the 101 airborne was not yet committed at that time, they were transported by truck to bastogne, the town of malmedy is already in German hands by that time, though it was retaken by the Americans later

Commited*

the soviets did way worse than germans

“It’s a tricky situation” No, no it isn’t. The SS gathered those prisoners together for the express purpose of committing a massacre; They were murdered in cold blood. This is not only roundly confirmed by survivor accounts, but was openly admitted to by the participants themselves in 1946. Neither was it an isolated incident, as the SS similarity massacred a group of 20 African-American soldiers on the same day, and about a 100 Belgian civilians not long afterwards. They were war criminals to a tee and should have been unanimously executed following the conclusion of the war. What you’re attempting to gain by defending a group of known murderers is beyond me.

After the SS killed Canadian prisoners of war during the Normandy Campaign, the Canadian troops sometimes did the same. One atrocity often leads to another.

@@simonyip5978 allies mostly killed POWs in revenge for another masscre. such as, Canadians were massacred, so the Canadians did the same, and the Malmedy, then the americans did the same

The Malmedy Massacre was very much a real thing. You should read up on your history before posting such an ignorant comment next time.

its a movie

@Savage Peasant ; Yes, this was just another shitty thing the Americans did. The Massacre of Malmedy is known to everybody, but the shooting of German POWs on D-Day by the Americans is one thing nobody knows or the Rheinwiessenlager ( there is a video about this here on You Tube)....... Just change the term "Prisoner of War" in "Soldiers of the defeated German Empire" and you don't have to treat them according to the rules of the Geneva Convention......

Yeah some germans deserved what came to them after this massacre.. the kampfgruppe peiper went onto murder over a 100 belgian civilians including children most of the US incidents were incited by vengeance or retaliation after this and seeing the death camps, which is understandable. overall though just paints the picture of how fucked up war is really.

@@Four-of-Six or that massacre that happened during the landing of Anzio that was Carried out by two american officers.

Still, if I am not mistaken, the 101st should have not been in the Malmédy massacre. It was supposed to be the 28th infantry. cmiiw.

Four of Six, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix 03 There’s no comparison between the two. War crimes committed by US forces were the product of individual soldiers or units and routinely condemned by Allied leadership. The Germans by contrast purposefully went out of their way to target civilians and surrendering soldiers. War crimes were not incidentals parts of the German experience during WW2: they were the purpose for which Germany fought.

This is true, in the European War the only countries that were constantly brutal to the POWs was between The Reich and the Soviet Union. Glad someone else commented this

All sides of the war people did this tho, like the Americans to Italians or Soviets to Germans

​@@cubefarmerhkc9105Obrigado 🙏🏻

@Billy Hunt Eisenhower (Eisenhauer=steel miner) hated Germans, and his criminal policy on POW's sent to their graves an estimated number of about 3 millions prisoners. No, such a movie will never be displayed.

Eisenhower was very upset about the concentration camps and the condition of the prisoners they found, so he asked what the minimum calories were to sustain a human life and that's what was given to the pow's. Consider that many got more than the minimum because of greed and possible gang pressure, who knows what went on the camps many died from malnutrition

@@alabamaart do you know why the prisoners in Germany were in such bad shape ? Because America keeped bombing supply lines, and its estimated only 200k died in german camps from malnutrition and disease not the 1mill in American camps ,and Eisenhower also had German prisoners massacred with machine guns so don't give me your bullshit )€₩ propaganda

@Art Chapman Eisenhower changed the status of German prisoners from POWs to DEFs, so he was not obliged to follow the GC and to accept the IRC in his death camps. And the calories needed to "sustain human life" were sent from Switzerland, the Germany's guarantor country by hundreds of train loads, which your "hero" sent back as "not needed". Their encirclement in barbed wires soon had the wanted results, meaning the death of about 3 million "DEFs". Fortunately General Patton was against it and sent quickly home his POWs. You are ill informed my friend.

They shot the German soldier first FFS.

Trying to play the “le moral high ground” card in the deadliest war in human history makes you look like a coping retard. Of course both sides committed atrocities against each other, but at the end of the day the allies won so Womp Womp.

This was the action at Malmedy, Belgium, during the last great German push of the war during the winter of 1944-45. The SS were commanded by General Joachim Pieper who, after the war, was tried and convicted and served a short jail sentence. (Sound familiar, modern day America?) He moved to France and was later assassinated.

@@williamdean4101 i dont know if its over-politization that makes you stupid but i dont care , joachim piper was sentenced with 12 death sentences and multiple life in imprisionment sentences , it was just that later on they couldnt proove he gave the orders to shoot POWs plus heinz guderian "vouched" for him via the HIAG , hence in the end he got only 11 years in prision
