Dirty, rotten, lowlife bastards!
Dogdaddy:-
Since you got so mad at the Plonium story I decided to give you
some more to chew on
I have listed a number of SS atrocities that happened in Belgium
and France. There were many others in Greece,Holland and even
in Germany. I can find no sympathy for men like SS Col Peiper regardless
of whether he was physically present or not. Not all these were
performed by Peiper's men but rather others as well!!
With Command - Responsibility accompanies it!!
BELGIUM:-
BANDE (Christmas Eve, 1944)-34 men killed.
THE MALMÉDY MASSACRE (December 17, 1944) 84 of their comrades
lay dead
ATROCITY AT STAVELOT Kampfgruppe Peiper, systematically executed
130 Belgian civilians
THE WERETH KILLINGS (December 17, 1944) eleven slain black soldiers.
France
THE NORMANDY MASSACRES (June, 1944) SS soldiers brandishing their
machine pistols opened fire killing thirty five men.
On the 7th and 8th of June, in the grounds of the Abbaye Ardenne, the
headquarters of SS Brigadefuhrer Kurt Meyer’s 25th Panzer Grenadiers,
twenty of the Canadians were shot.
June 8, twenty six Canadians were shot at the Chateau d’Audrie
After the war, investigations established that separate atrocities were
committed in 31 different incidents involving 134 Canadians, 3 British
and 1 American
LE PARADIS (Pas-de-Calais, May 26, 1940
A company of the Royal Norfolk Regiment, trapped in a cowshed,
surrendered to the 2nd Infantry Regiment, SS 'Totenkopf' (Death's Head).
When the 99 prisoners were in position, two machine guns opened fire
killing 97 of them.
WORMHOUDT ATROCITY (Pas-de-Calais, May 27/28 , 1940 The day after
the Le Paradis massacre, around 100 men of the 2nd Royal Warwickshire
Regiment, the Cheshire Regiment and the Royal Artillery, were taken
prisoner by the No 7 Company, 2nd Battalion of the SS Leibstandarte
Adolf Hitler.
The prisoners were marched across fields to a nearby farm and there
confined in a barn with not enough room for the wounded to lie down.
There the massacre began. About five stick grenades were lobbed in
amongst the defenceless prisoners who died in agony as shrapnel tore
into their flesh. When the last grenade had been thrown, those still
standing were then ordered outside, five at a time, there to be mown
down under a hail of bullets from the rifles of the executioners.
ORADOUR-SUR-GLANE (Central France, June 10, 1944)452 women and
children in the local church were then suffocated by smoke grenades
lobbed in through the windows and shrapnel grenades
THE TULLE MURDERS (Near Limoges, Central France, June 9, 1944) the
SS murdered 99 men in the town of Tulle
ASCQ (Near Lille, April 2, 1944) Altogether 70 men were shot beside the
railway line and another 16 killed in the village itself.
OUTRAGE AT IZIEU (Central France, April 6, 1944) The Gestapo, led by the
regional head, Klaus Barbie, entered the home and forcibly removed the
forty four children and their seven supervisors, throwing the crying and
terrified children on to the trucks like sacks of potatoes. All were transported
to the collection centre at Drancy outside Paris where they were put on the
first available train to 'points east'.
FRAYSSINET (Near Tulle, Central France, May 21, 1944) fifteen hostages
were taken and executed. These hostages were all young males from
one child families.
SAULX VALLEY ATROCITIES (August 29, 1944)
Robert-Espagne All males were then rounded up (49 in number). Three
machine-guns, firing in unison, sent their deadly stream of bullets into the
helpless group. In the village of Couvonges, 26 men were killed and 54
out of the 60 houses were burned to the ground. The village of Beurey-sur-Saulx
was also targeted by the SS and seven inhabitants met their deaths, the
church and houses put to the torch.
In Mogeville, three people died as a result of the SS retaliation. Similar
atrocities were also carried out almost simultaneously in the villages of
Sermaize-les-Bains, (thirteen died), Cheminon and Tremout-sur-Saulx by
the SS 3rd Panzer-Grenadier Division.
I know of NO Documented actions such as these by the Allies. Isolated
instances could and did happen I agree.
