as posted by the channelOn 17 December 1944, at a crossroads near Malmedy, Belgium, American prisoners of war were lined up in a field — and shot.
This is the story of the Malmedy Massacre: one of the most notorious war crimes committed against American soldiers on the Western Front — and what it tells us about the desperation, ideology, and brutality driving Hitler's last great gamble in the West.
James Holland and Al Murray walk the ground at Malmedy to unpick exactly what happened that December afternoon — who gave the orders, how the survivors escaped, and why this atrocity became a defining moment of the Ardennes Offensive.
