	The Malmédy Massacre Trial
		The most controversial of the Dachau proceedings, and the one that is still discussed to this day, is the infamous Malmedy Massacre case against the Waffen-SS soldiers who were accused of the murder of American Prisoners of War and Belgian civilians during the intense fighting of the Battle of the Bulge.
		The incident which became known as "the Malmedy Massacre" happened at the Baugnez Crossroads in the Ardennes Forest in Belgium on December 17, 1944, the second day of fighting in the famous Battle of the Bulge, where American troops suffered 81,000 casualties, including 19,000 deaths, in one of the bloodiest battles of World War II.
		Jochen Peiper, the main one of the 73 accused in the Malmedy Massacre Military Tribunal proceedings, was not a member of the Nazi party, although he joined the Hitler Youth as a young boy and then, at the age of 19, applied for admission to the elite Waffen-SS in 1934.

	Malmedy massacre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Malmedy massacre was a war crime committed by German Waffen-SS troops during the Battle of the Bulge in World War II, involving the murder of American prisoners of war.
		On December 17, 1944, near the hamlet of Baugnez on the height half-way between the town of Malmedy and Ligneuville in Belgium, the leading element of Waffen-SS Kampfgruppe Peiper, named after its leader SS-Standartenführer Joachim Peiper, encountered the American 285th Field Artillery Observation Battalion (FAOB).
		In a later broadcast, O'Reilly indicated that he "was not clear" during his "heated debate with Wesley Clark", and was referring to the reprisal killings, allegedly perpetrated by American soldiers, in response to the Malmedy massacre, not the Malmedy massacre itself.

	MALMEDY and McCARTHY
		The majority of the young men sentenced by the U.S. Army Court at Dachau for the Malmedy Massacre were neither Nazis nor officers, but teen-age enlisted men and young non-commissioned officers.
		Far from denying the truth of these allegations, two of the "un-American" investigators employed by the U.S. Army to extract "confessions" from German prisoners of war, namely, Lt. Colonel Ellis and Lt. Perl, told Judge Von Roden of the Simpson Commission in 1949 that force was necessary in view of the difficulty in obtaining evidence.
		The Germans contend that they were accidentally killed because, after their surrender, they had been left disarmed, but unguarded, and were shot down by German tanks whose gunners were unaware that the uniformed Americans impeding their progress were prisoners of war.

	Booman Tribune ~ A Progressive Community
		If you watched Countdown last night you were witness to a livid Keith Olbermann, devoid of his usual sense of humor, tearing into Bill O'Reilly for turning the facts on end and accusing American soldiers massacred at Malmedy during World War II of having been the perpetrators of the massacre rather than the victims.
		Olbermann proceeded to explain that what really happened at Malmedy was that Nazi troops had gunned down at least 84 captured American prisoners, not the other way around as O'Reilly had suggested.
		I think it's possible that O'Reilly used the word Malmedy instead of the actual american atrocity because people would identify more with it and take his point more to heart, facts be damned.

	Respectful Insolence: Oops, he did it again: Bill O'Reilly defames the victims of the Malmedy massacre
		Back in October, Jamie McCarthy and I castigated Bill O'Reilly for implying that at Malmedy in December 1944 during the Battle of the Bulge U.S. Airborne troops had massacred Nazis soldiers who had surrendered when in fact the Malmedy massacre was perpetrated by SS troops to whom U.S. soldiers had surrendered.
		In Malmedy, as you know, U.S. forces captured SS forces, who had their hands in the air and they were unarmed.
		Roman, it should probably come as no surprise that the Malmedy Massacre is less familiar to Poles because it involved US and German troops, and Poland had already had its share of atrocities.

		Due to issues with the case against them, the sentences of many of the Malmedy defendants were later commuted to life and then to time served, and Peiper was released on parole from prison at the end of December 1956, after serving 11 1/2 years, much in solitary confinement.
		I don't recall whether any attempt was made by the author to explain/rationalize it in view of the Malmedy killings or not, or even whether it occurred before or after Malmedy.

		Of course Americans have committed atrocities (possibly right after finding all their soldiers killed in Malmedy, decided to attempt to avenge it), and things like this will continue to happen, but that is not a defense in not prosecuting the ones that commit such acts.

		Malmedy is one of those iconic moments of American military history.
		Only a moral idiot would use incidents of US atrocities to place the United States on the same plane as Nazi Germany.

		After being held in prison for an average of five months, the SS Malmedy veterans were charged as war criminals on April 11, 1946, a little over a month before their case before the American military tribunal was set to begin.
		Rosenfeld ruled that "to admit a confession of the accused, it need not be shown such confession was voluntarily made...." Contrary to the rules of the American justice system, the German war criminals were presumed guilty and the burden of proof was on them, not the prosecution.
