An extremely rare photograph, not even available on Google Images, of Adolf Hitler participating in Christmas celebrations alongside military personnel. From Blog Honoring The Third Reich.

Peiper was a good solider. He stood up for his men and lead not followed as had been eluded to by others here.

Unless you have been in a war and fought in a war you have no clue what it is all about. If you look at the objective that he was given killing prisoners would be the very last thing he would do as that would polarize American troops which did happen. Benedictus Robat Arwyn Download Skype here. Lt Col Peiper spent time discussing the war with an American Army Major while the assault was under way.

No good officer would want to do anything to support improving the opposition moral which killing POWs would. This was not a stupid Nazi zealot but a skilled officer who was a tactician. One thing that seems totally wrong is that Peiper said he was a Nazi and continues to be one until his death. That is totally wrong. He was never a Nazi he was an SS officer totally different and he stead fast refused to sign up as a Nazi.

SS were totally different than your Nazi. They were supposed to be Hitler’s body guards but grew beyond that to become the most aggressive military forces.

This guy was all about duty, honor, country and not about what was politically correct. He took full responsibility for the actions of the forces under him.

He was lucky he was not executed or still in prison for taking that responsibility and most likely would have if the American torture that took place had not been made public. Had this not happened many would have been executed and or life in a military prison. I am no lover of Nazi or SS but I can respect someone that was a good officer regardless of where he was situated. Comment by — November 11, 2015 @. Wow Anyone during that period that wore an SS uniform deserved a bullet behind the ear. You cant run with the hares AND hunt with the hounds as the old saying goes. If you have even visited these camps, which I have, then you will have gotten a good grip on the scale of pure viscous evil the whole Nazi machine was peddling.

So you join the SS elite, which means your buying into that machine. Which means when the whole party ends and the games over you stand up and get counted right? The whole lot of them should’ve been burned at the stake, having first been forced to beg for there wretched lives to every inmate in that camp, Jewish or otherwise. Sorry if that upsets any Liberal types on here, but unfortunately some things go beyond a civilized conversation and a court ruling. If you really think Dachau was a civilized POW camp with 3 square meals a day for the inmates and nobody got shot unless they made for the fences, then frankly your completely delusional. That’s my 3 cents worth. Comment by Ghostrider — June 7, 2012 @.

You must be new to my blog. You might enjoy this post about how an American soldier and a “Polish soldier” were torturing German SS men at Dachau before they killed them. There were no “Polish soldiers” after Poland was defeated by the Germans in only 28 days. The Polish soldiers stopped fighting on the battlefield, but continued to fight as Resistance fighters. If captured, they were taken to camps like Dachau. When Dachau was liberated, the “Polish soldiers” were released so that they could torture and kill the guards. Read about it at Dachau was not a POW camp.

It was a concentration camp for political prisoners including Resistance fighters who were acting in violation of the Geneva Convention. Comment by — June 8, 2012 @. What a bunch of whining. Peiper was not executed. Far more mercy was shown to him that to the many people the SS killed. Delusional denial of that fact won’t change anything. Mediarescue Pro Keygen on this page.
