Talk about the ace pilot that served under Rommel in north Africa. Also named Joachim. He shot down 150 planes

genau.

Well said !

Yes, indeed.

Fool

Amen

The Soviets were going to invade three weeks later that summer, they were preparing 23,000 tanks and 13,000 planes to do this job.

Yea the perpetrator of the malmedy massacre this dude was a war criminal

​@@Noodle_7607Shut up, Jew.

@@Noodle_7607 He wasn't the perpetrator. He was the Commanding Officer at the head of a Panzer Division of 4,800 men and 800 vehicles (117 tanks, 149 half-tracks, 24 artillery pieces, and more than 30 anti-aircraft weapons) that stretched behind him for several kilometres. A small number of men towards the rear of his Panzer column committed the act independently as they passed through Malmedy. It was not ordered by Peiper, nor even committed with his knowledge or in his presence, as he was kilometres away when it occurred. However, as the most senior Commanding Officer, he honourably assumed responsibility for the actions of his men. If you were ultimately in charge of nearly 5000 men and 800 vehicles in a column that stretched behind you for kilometres, could YOU watch & supervise every man simultaneously, all of the time, to make sure none of them stepped out of line or did anything wrong? If you're going to accuse the man of war crimes, at least get your facts straight. And it's well documented historical fact that U.S., Russian, British, Australian, and other Allied forces at various times during the war, committed war crimes and atrocities against civilians, especially in Germany, and against German soldiers & P.O.W.s. As the war ended and U.S. troops came upon German Military installations that had been abandoned with a skeleton crew of ordinary German soldiers to guard it, who had orders to surrender to the Americans when they arrived and hand over control of the facilities to them in an orderly manner without resistance. Having passed by some Concentration Camps earlier, some of the U.S. troops were full of hate, and when they arrived at these facilities and met the small group of SURRENDERED & UNARMED German soldiers left there to greet them and hand them the facility, the U.S. troops machine-gunned them to death for no reason. Their actions were later investigated by the U.S. Military and found to be a war crime, but no further actions were taken against them..... Double standards and hypocrisy, anyone? Why weren't they tried at Nuremberg for war crimes? These weren't the only atrocities committed by soldiers fighting for the Allies. NONE was accused or tried for their crimes. Are these sort of actions only a criminal act if a German perpetrates them? But it's just fine & dandy if a Yank, Limey, Russki, or Aussie does it? That's BS not justice. If you're going to assume the moral high ground, you have to apply those standards equally & unilaterally, AND hold your OWN men to those same standards & consequences. Otherwise you're just full of crap.

Correct

Ein Schwein der grösste Art! Er kann in der ewige Hölle verbrennen!

Totally agree

Wrong on all counts. When the Communists overthrew the Russian ruling class in 1917 (The Russian revolution) that ended all Russian fighting with Germany on the eastern front. In September 1939 Germany and Russia invaded Poland at the same time and held roughly half the country each.The UK and France had to decide which country to go to war with (could not fight both) so Germany it was, this was the start of WW2. The US declared war with Germany on Dec 11th 1941 - Over TWO years after it actually started!!!!

@@howhistory5877 what? Bloody battles were fought on the streets of Germany after ww1 between the right wing frei korp and Soviet backed communist party. Germany’s fight with communism began many many years before ww2. Many frei Korps members ended up in the nazi party anyways

Wrong. It was Germany who caused the Russian Revolution in the first place. Germany supported Lenin and it was Germany who sent him back into Russia with the hope that he would ignite revolution and topple the czarist regime.

​@@howhistory5877 right...

You spelled Nazi war criminal wrong

​@@panzerivausfg4062jewish bootlicker

@@panzerivausfg4062 Joachim Peiper was a spunky gladiator who fought to protect european civilization, NOT a war criminal

​@michaelram3411 you think the nazis and their SS murderous thugs were protecting European civilisation get real Joachan Peiper was finnatical nazi who like a lot of the SS committed crimes against humanity .The only reason that Joachan Peiper avoided the death penalty was because a few allied interrogators used torture to get confessions from suspects and the prosecution used such evidence during the trial of men like Peiper if the allied prosecution had instead dumped the evidence gained under torture and instead done a whole new investigation against the SS defendants then Joachan Peiper and other SS defendants may well have been hanged for their crimes, instead because of the incompetence of the US prosecution back in 1946 it took until 1976 for a bunch of communist vigilantes to finally deliver Peiper's demise.The SS and its members committed horrible crimes against humanity right across Europe on behalf of the nazi party and their leader Adolf Hitler don't see Nazi Germany as defender of European civilisation and culture they nearly destroyed European civilisation and culture thank goodness they lost the war never forget.

No, He was a war criminal and got his just desserts.......as you most likely will

who and what? is there a video on this topic? thanks!

@@EvilSiperethnic Germans were getting slaughtered in poland

Lol Hitler set that up he had SS men and Polish uniforms like they tried to invade it was all set up don’t you know that

Yea ethnic Germans were being slaughtered and even before bombing Warsaw Hitler tried 32 peace agreements to let the civilians out but the poles were killing anyone who left sounds familiar right??

the slaughters that took place AFTER germany had already invaded poland@@joshuaju675

He was a NAZI butcher.

Yup. The kinda guy one wants to emulate.

He had better genes than the entire kangaroo court.

That's another badass thing about the Waffen-SS guys. It seems like half of them could be Hugo Boss models or whatnot...yet they are mobbing in tanks and shitting on every other armed force in their path.

That aspect does not make him a "better" nazi-criminal...

Ja.

ja genau.

And nobody asks if they're telling the truth

Das ist leider immer so in der Geschichte!

The biggest crime is German assholes who try and defend SS murderers and deny their crimes. I don’t believe Piper was responsible for Malmedy but the fact that those American soldiers were executed is a fact. Half of them had up execution style holes in their heads. Not to mention eyewitness accounts, both German and American of what happened.

There are no crimes during war... until one side loses. Then they are blamed for everything and imprisoned/executed even if they were not the aggressors. In 1933 Anno Domini, Western newspaper headlines read, "Judea declares WAR on Germany!"... six years before war began.

May not have been him who gave the order but Peiper accepted full responsibility for the behaviour of his men no questions asked - like any admirable leader should.

US soldiers had a practice to kill pow-s especially ss ones.

SS troops regularly executed prisoners on Eastern front. I always thought Peiper got a raw deal because I don’t think he was even there when it happened. But he was the commander and took full responsibility for the crime.

Crap.

Your honor is loyalty...to what?

​@@josephstabile9154if you're not an Atheist, it shouldn't be hard to understand such a statement

Manstein and Rommel generally fare better than the rest of their colleagues in NAZI Germany. If I remember correctly, neither were ardent NAZIs. Perhaps that's why. They were also both undeniably good at their jobs.

The fiend just justice in France in 1976.

@@donsardewhat?

He was SS during barbarosa. SS were vicious mass killers in that operation. The fact he thought he could treat Americans the same as he was treating Soviet civilians is why he belongs in hell.

Thank you! And happy Halloween 🎃 🤝

Dear brothers, think about *satanic Halloween* !!

Your "Pa"? Nothing to be proud of😒

@@TomDollard So you disagree with the treatment of Nazi's at Nuremberg and Lansdow?......so a fine maybe?

@@TomDollard Gallows were installed by late '46 so they could stop having to shoot the condemned and hanging instead.

He Knew they were coming for him, that's why he sent his wife away. Not the kind of guy to run away is my thinking. More than likely he went down fighting!

Good book about Peiper. "Hitler's Warrior", by Danny S. Parker

Oh she became a mistress of heydrich? Interesting.

Are you joking? Piper looked like a Calvin Klein model, really perfect, was brave and intelligate. I would like such husband at that time :). And it looks like he loved her too. At that time, many women had much worse fates. By the way, where you`ve seen the information that she was Himmler’s mistress? It seems that it’s not her, but her friend Hedwig.

@@unextazy No I didn't say she was Himmler s mistress that her friend she was Heydrich s mistress for a brief time before meeting before she met and married Peiper

@@ileanaacacostaacosta1813 Yes, I was wrong. Thank you, very interesting information. I also thought that Piper's fate could have turned out completely differently too. But he was very young when the Nazis came to power and the fact that he was in the Hitlerjugend, he had little chance of not becoming a Nazi. War is always bad, entire generations are lost :(.

So, a "full immersion" Nazi-family and -friends?

@@waltermodel6647 What's that supposed to mean?......"Gobbler of Pie?", given that you've called yourself "Walter Model" I assume that you are German?......so what did 2 World War's bring us?.......I know that it brought great loss across generations of my Irish family and growing up in Ireland knowing German Internee's whose settled in Ireland, whose children are my school friends.......it brought the near total annihilation of their German family and friends, 2 of 3 were the only survivors of whole families. I find your negative attitude so strange because I've never had negative feelings towards German people.

@@waltermodel6647 I had expected a reply......I honestly don't understand your opinion, but then again I'm a person who has always enjoyed visiting Germany and I've always been lucky with finding German's who really, no REALLY like us Irish. I live in Australia these past 34 year's and my wife is Australian of German descent, mixed, and on both sides of Lucy's family. 2018 we were last in Germany, Munchen where my Irish cousin's settled in the 1970's and 80's, 2 Sister's who are in their 60's and grandmother's after a full life of work, one with Lufthansa her whole working life and one as a paramedic and a paramedic instructor her whole working life. 2 Brother's and 3 Cousin's in Germany more than 50 year's each...... they're MORE German now than they are Irish?

@@waltermodel6647 Oh yeah Walter, I have family in Germany who are senior Police detectives in case you need help with your head?. Need Help?

The difference, not little, is done by the numbers!

We took it down just as it clogs up space, and now the video is live :)

@@historyatwar oh ok. I thought maybe it was because the comments were getting too BASED

Mr./Ms. Luddite: welcome to the world of AI--computer generated narration.

How so? They state everything like it is. If anything they are unbiased compare to most history pages these days, they said everything that happened

A "complete bozo"? Is your I.Q. below 80?

He faked his death as the burned body could not be identified though his wife like a good wife claimed it was so peiper could escape.

Are we impling here that Peiper, under severe fuel and time constraints, had insignificant U.S. opposition?

Maybe convinced to be an immortal Uebermensch?!

What about those Americans pow soldiers the malmedy massacre don't you think they should RIP also??

he was standartenfuhrer (colonel) by the end of war

At which period of the war? The video does a pretty fair job of stating his dates of promotion...

The Japanese were different than Germans. This is why the very concept of "War Crimes" is ridiculous. Japanese culture was one of extreme brutality towards enemies and non Japanese. This is an Asian mentality that is not only Japanese. The concept of "Gentleman" in warfare is 100% Christian European and it lacks little to know use anywhere in the world there was a warrior culture. And so getting back to the Japanese, US Sailors, Marines, and Soldiers killing Japanese who surrendered and or were unarmed is completely different than killing Germans who were POWs and or unarmed. Are they both "human"? Of course. But the difference is that if you surrendered to the Germans, you'd likely go to a POW camp and live with protections under the Geneva Convention. If you surrendered to the Japanese, odds are very likely you would be tortured to death. And everything from execution of Japanese to the Atomic bombs was entirely justified and rational given the circumstances.
