Peiper, the Man and His Kampfgruppe 

Remarkable soldier, guilty of being on the losing side.

He wasn't there when they were shot an he never gave orders to shoot them, so not Guilty..

At Peiper's show trial he reminded the Court of the motto of the British Commandos..."No quarter asked and none given". The Allies were murdering pigs and hypocrites, and I'm very tired of our sick culture going after the reputation of this man and others like him. General Patton so riled up the soldiers of the 45th US Infantry Division the "Thunderbirds" in a speech that they immediately went out a shot many German prisoners. The incident was covered up by the Victors. The Anglo-Saxon terror bombing of the Reich and our fire bombing of the Japanese home islands was murder on a massive scale. We have no room to complain about this incident of war.

A great German soldier

Ernest Barkman also fought in this battle, he’s a famous tank ace that captured American equipment and used it against the Americans. He also destroyed 3 tanks while towing a tank. It’s amazing how much theses German tank crews did, with the little support and equipment they had available to them. Truly brave men that history will never forget.

Peiper was a bloody good officer. He took responsibility for the actions of his men. As only a good officer would. Even if doing so. Would mean his execution. As for Malmady. The allies did the same. On many occasions. But by virtue of their victory. These incidents are forgotten. Peiper served the sentence served on him by a court of law. But was Murdered by faceless cowards in the night. My Grandfather served in the British Army from 1914/1919. He respected the Germans. But despised the French. I think I can see why.

Once again, clear insights into what was one of the most consequential battles of World War II your insights and narrative are excellent. Keep up the good work I can’t wait for the next installment.

His unit was known as the blowtorch battalion because they used blowtorches to thaw out frozen engines, no other reason. The case about Boves was thrown out after 126 of his men all signed affidavits that neither of the senior officers Peiper, Dinse or Guhrs ordered civilians killed or were present when any killing took place.

Thanks Cory, that was a very informative and enjoyable video. I particularly liked your use of historic photographs to illustrate the narrative.

my uncle was in the 28th infantry and was wounded in the Hurtgen Forest. he as on his way back to his unit when the Ardennes Offensive started and ended up captured at Malmedy. i have a copy of the official Army Press Release of the account. he managed to escape but was wounded again doing so. he never wanted to be around a group of people ever again...

Excellent information on Peiper (i.e., his background and military record). Your videos are excellent for people into war history.

One of Peiper tanks in Battle of The Bulge is displayed at the Armor Cavalry museum in Fort Moore Ga . Tiger tank 332 . Got some good reviews about those Tigers from a WWII vet Harry Miller a M4 Sherman tank Commander.

For what it's worth: 'Waffen' is pronounced V-A-F-F-E-N, with the 'W' pronounced like an English 'V'.

Very interesting, great job.

Excellent video. I can't wait for the next episode. Kampfgruppe Peiper in the bulge is such an interesting subject.

Well done.

Great man you should look into his right hand man Werner wolf

just plain excellent

Good video.

What a great job, theres a way i could have the photos you use ?

Remember, the Victor's in any war write its history.

If he was on the Allied side,they would have made movies on him because he was such a Badass Soldier!!

A true worrier.

Sources? Wilhelm Sternebeck?

Wasn’t it proven that he actually wasn’t there when those massacres took place? But it was very conveniently swept under the carpet when they found that out.

As the only woman on here I would like to say how good.looking he was. His appearance is quite at odds with his brutal character

War makes it's own rules

He was a ss man and took responsibility for his men actions not like a lot of nazis at the end of the war who denied what they had done a man among weak people

Death by hanging.

Another couple dozen Jochen Peiper's and regardless of the US manufacturing capability, the Germans would have defeated the Russians and the Americans. Great man. fantastic tactician who fooled the French into thinking he was burned beyond recognition when he actually lived out his life in Bariloche in Patagonia. Blut, Wahrheit, Mut und Ehre

Crimes remain crimes, whether you win or you lose the war. You probably will try to win to get away with it, but that does not clear one of blame before God, the only judge who matters in the end.
