Read main thread: Malmedy Massacre
October 6th, 2005  
Warwick
Centurion
 
I believe, if I recall correctly that the first shot was fired by a German pistol.
The movie portrays the popular western version of the massacre.
The court records from the nuremburg trial of Joachim Peiper make fascinating reading.
Without grabbing a book and recording it all word for word the massacre was a horrible accident.
