This past weekend I took a History course about the Battle of the Bulge. Saturday was an all day lecture, then on Sunday we went on a field study. I never realized that this battle took place all around where I live. Other battles were very close as well. I’ve gone to a small town in Belgium named Malmedy several times since I came here. I never new what took place there until I took this course. German regimental commander Peiper’s troops killed several Belgian civilians and unarmed American POW’s during their reign of terror through the Belgian countryside. It was a touching experience to see all the memorials to say the least.

The following is a link to a Wikipedia article about the massacre:
