The halftrack. Behind the halftrack you can see the bridge which was used by Kampfgruppe Peiper to cross the Ambleve river.
After Stavelot I went to Malmedy. It was my intention to go to Baugnez where the Malmedy massacre took place. About 80 American prisoners where killed by men from Kampfgruppe Peiper. Only 2 Americans survived the massacre. In Malmedy I drove in the wrong direction so I had to turn . Then traffic jam and so it became 5.45 when I arrived at Baugnez and the museum closed 15 minutes later. So I have to go back up there. I went to the monument of the Malmedy Massacre which is on a crossroads 100 meters from the new Baugnez museum.
An erie place.
First stone.
No words can be added to this....
The monument in autumn.
All the troopers who were massacred have their names in the wall.
As you can see here.
Well that's it. I had to go back home. When I make another tour I will surely post another trip report here.
Regards,
Frank
