屠杀战俘
on 17 december 1944, a german ss panzer division encountered, near the town of malmedy, belgium, a small company of american soldiers. armed with only rifles and other small arms, the americans surrendered to the nazi tank force. after being searched and relieved of weapons, the american prisoners were quickly marched into a field.
one of the few to survive, bill merriken said,"we stood there, hands over head. and then there was a german officer and he picked out a guy i knew. he pulled his pistol up and shot him. and i saw him fall. then that is when machine guns started."
