The Dark Reason American Soldiers Shot 60 German POWs on New Year's Day 1945

Описание: New Year's Day 1945: In the frozen Ardennes, American troops executed 60 German POWs. Discover the dark retaliation for the Malmedy Massacre.

Two weeks after the Malmedy Massacre, where SS troops killed 84 Americans, the 11th Armored Division entered the Battle of the Bulge. Fueled by rage and unofficial "no prisoners" orders, they captured 60-80 Germans near Chenogne. On Jan 1, instead of processing them, they machine-gunned them in the snow. This video explores the cycle of violence, the subsequent cover-up by US command, and the moral injury that haunted the soldiers involved. General Patton noted "unfortunate incidents," while Eisenhower's attempts to investigate were stonewalled. A deep dive into the war history books often omit.
