WAFFEN-SS WAR CRIMES. MALMEDY MASSACRE
WAFFEN-SS WAR CRIMES. MALMEDY MASSACRE

Summary/Abstract: This study argues that the soldiers of the Waffen-SS were not “soldiers like others” (Soldaten wie andere auch), but tougher fighters, qualified killers, all set to annihilate their adversaries at all costs, at any time, unhesitatingly. On top of the skilfully implemented ideological and military training programme, the Waffen-SS soldiers came to distasteful, unwanted experiment of the terror bombing over their homes in Germany, alongside all other vicissitudes of the final stages of World War II. Most of the actors of the Malmedy massacre were themselves forthright creations of this complicated proceeding that promoted and expedited an irreversible moral transformation.
