The dramatic story of Nazi field commander Jochen Peiper's military career, war crimes trial, and 1976 murder. Jochen Peiper would likely never have been heard of outside Germany if not for the infamous massacre of US Army POWs near Malmedy, Belgium, during World War II, with which his name has been forever associated. Shunned and despised in the years following Germany's surrender, Peiper is nevertheless praised by many for his military acumen. This meticulously researched book explores Peiper's youth, his career with the SS, the now famous trial of the officers and soldiers of the Leibstandarte, who were accused of war crimes, and Peiper's murder in France over thirty years later. "One of WWII's most interesting combat leaders . . . a fascinating story." — Armor Includes maps and illustrations
