Malmedy Massacre: 84 American POWs Killed at Baugnez, December 17, 1944
German troops from Kampfgruppe Peiper shot captured American servicemen at the Baugnez crossroads near Malmedy, Belgium, on December 17, 1944, during the Battle of the Bulge. The prisoners belonged to Battery B of the 285th Field Artillery Observation Battalion. Eighty-four Americans were killed. The bodies remained at the site until American forces recovered them on January 14 and 15, 1945. Evidence photographs show frozen bodies in the snow marked with numbered identification tags. Other photographs show Joachim Peiper and Sepp Dietrich in trial mugshots, six survivors returning to the memorial site, records from the Malmedy war crimes proceedings and the memorial wall at Baugnez. More than 70 defendants were tried at Dachau in 1946. The court imposed 43 death sentences and 22 life sentences, but none of the death sentences was carried out.  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  · |

Today, the American flag flies over the Malmédy Memorial, built at the Baugnes crossroads, about 100 metres from where the actual killings took place.
