MASSACRE AT MALMADY by CHARLES WHITING
I have been an admirer of W.W.11 writer Charles Whiting for many years now.This prolific author has produced some three hundred or so books about that catastrophic event ,some fiction, some fact. I like his writing style and his ability to keep me interested page after page and having visited the site of the Malmady massacre a couple of years ago I naturally wanted to know more about this most dreadfull event. German troops under the SS Colonel John Peiper lined up over one hundred captured American soldiers in a field near the Belgian town of Malmedy and machine gunned them down.Some miraculously survived to tell the tale and very few German prisoners were taken after that despicable act.This incident was one of many that made up the Battle Of The Bulge as it later became known. As expected Charles Whitings version of those events is both thorough and absorbing reading and I can highly recommend it to anyone interested in that period of history.
