"History is always written by the victor, and the histories of the losing parties belong to the shrinking circles of those who were there" - Joachim Peiper
seriously? he is a state sanctioned serial killer- the cute quote so often used doesn’t erase the hundreds of eye witnesses and accounts of his barbaric thirst for blood. rediculous comment
@@silverbackstrongzone Firebombing of Tokyo, 2 Atomic bombs in Japan, the Terror Bombing campaign launched against German civilians, are all of these not state sanction mass murders?
Damn near conquered the world? No, they had no chance to conquer the world at all in ww2. German generals told Hitler so in the beginning of Unternehmen Barbarossa, but He hat his own plans. Lack of resources, lack of soldiers, lack of experienced pilots after the lost battle of Britain , desperately needed oil fields were out of reach; too long distances to the front; unsecure situation in occupied areas because of guerilla tactics of the "beaten" enemy in former soviet union, yugoslavia, Italy, france. No chance at all for them despite the abuse of 10 million labor slaves in the "Reich" in 1944, who worked in deadly circumstances to rebuild destroyed factories in Germany. In ww 1 the huns had a Chance to win it all because russia was in trouble with the revolution, not in ww 2. In ww 2 Soviet Union was strong and clever to stretch the combat zone. The germans were lost in space.
The small hats conquered the world. They even convinced the Allies to fight their racial brethren the Germans. They even convinced all of you that these Germans overcame utterly absurd logistical hurdles to kill 6M people. And don't you dare question the narrative.

Однозначно не в теме. Германия допустила очень много необязательных тактических и стратегических ошибок, начиная с Дюнкерка.Было также очевидное невезение и головокружение от успехов.Все могло очень сильно быть иначе, не захват всего мира,конечно, а ничья ввиду невозможности победить одному из противников. Реальность - это всего лишь один из вариантов, самый естественный, но далеко не обязательный. А вот в Первой мировой войне наоборот после битвы на Марне у Германии не было вообще шансов.
With out a doubt he is far superior than what I could have done. It would have been difficult for me just to do a direct translation of some of the lawyer’s questions. “Did you see any 1 year old babies shooting at you ?” The urge to soften the question to something more reasonable in the translation would be really strong.
Not a mention of the Ally massacres of surrendering German troops anywhere. Chenogne is one. Patton wrote in his diary... I hope these stories never get out. And they never did until years after the war. History should be told in its full truth, not biased. But we all know that will never happen
That's how war works. If the shoe was on the other foot and Germany were the victors, they'd be trialing the allies for massacres despite being guilty of such crimes themselves.

My father was surrounded for 6 weeks at MALMEDY until Patton arrived. Of his detachment of 1 ST ARMY G-2 EUROPEAN CIVIL AFFAIRS only 7 total made it home. His "H" (Hebrew) dog tags would have entitled him to a very unpleasant death IF captured by the WAFFEN SS.
My grandpa and his brother was in “SS liebstdendarte adolf hitler” he told what stopped his panzer regiment is the air force wen the battle started the weather was bad all planes were grounded cause of fog then after few days weather cleared and game was up Germans had no air cover if the fog continued for few day ss panzer army would’ve sliced through Patton and his army like blow torch and that where the nickname blowtorch battalion came from just like in North Africa
@@kjragg1099 kgrp peiper killed womans and babies while in bullington. So the interogator try to justify the killing bcz the baby firing at peiper and ask him if this happen. That was a silly question try to trap him and admitted he committed war crime but peiper react with silly answer too
@@KotobKotob well I wouldn’t say that he really outwitted him. The interrogator was just asking him semi-sarcastic questions then Peiper responded with his own sarcasm saying not even in Russia did he see any babies firing at him.

Regardless of anything else this man was a brave war hero and years later he went out like a real Boss and the brave warrior he was Unabhängig von allem anderen dieser man war ein echter Kriegsheld und Jahre später ging er als die echter Boss und tapfere Krieger aus, wie er war.
Is it far fetched to note how much of the character of Peiper is veiled within the fictional presentation of Robert Shaw as Hessler in the film.Battle of the Bulge. Clearly the role of the Waffen SS had to be underplayed and even written out from this script but at times the contributions made by their Panzer inescapably leaks from the action I would say
@@Pseudonym-aka-alias Was it crap because of what it attempted to hide or merely badly portrayed in exactly the wrong setting it looks like a desert with all the wrong vehicles standing in. Spare the boy Shoot the father...its been bettered by the Germans themselves but I was pointing out what doomed this production from the beginning. There has been relaxations but you are never going to have cinematic glorification of Peiper I would add.
@@Pseudonym-aka-aliasI agree that movie was atrocious. There really ought to be a remake of The Battle of the Bulge using real names and real incidents. The movie was a highly fictionalized account and did a terrible job of telling the true story! Horrible movie. Just horrible!
If you read history correctly. He was not. He was inexperienced at strategies and tactics and lost many soldiers inexcusably because of his lack of experience.
@@kjragg1099 _and the other soldiers from his Kampfgruppe on trial in the same courtroom probably don't know English as well as Peiper, so in terms of a fair trial, they should be allowed to hear all the court dialogue in German.

He served in the Army during World War II and remained in Europe to serve as an interpreter for the war crimes trials.

The magnetic tape sound reels may have been misplaced, damaged or lost. During filming sound is recorded separately and then later combined with a 2nd film print that has the audio added on a optical sound strip on the edge of the film. There was no technology then where a film camera could record sound at the same time.
@@timmccarthy982 Why would magnetic tape be used? They had sound cameras (aka "talkies") which used photo-electric cells to record synchronized sound simultaneously with the motion pictures decades before these recordings were made. That is to say the sound file was embedded as an integral part of the celluloid film itself.
@@drott150 They may have. I was thinking of what I thought would be the common practice (maybe it wasn't?) to record film and sound separately and how you might have something on film but be missing the sound. The times that I can think of when something has gone "missing" is during separate recording and either the sound but most often the film doesn't exist. Like when someone forgets to roll the camera, there's a technical problem with the camera or a roll of film gets exposed.
@@timmccarthy982 In the earliest days of sound movies they did have systems that recorded the sound on a separate medium. And when the movie was played back that separate medium had to be carefully synchronized with the film so that the images and sound would be in harmony. For instance, "The Jazz Singer" released in 1927 was the first widely released sound movie ("talkie"). That film's sound was recorded on waxed records that were played back in sync with the film via a turntable connected to a film projector through an interlocking mechanism. But this rather klunky system was quickly replaced with the much better "sound on film" system. The sound on film system worked by converting sound waves into light waves that were then photographically inscribed onto the film itself. This allowed for a single strip of film to carry both pictures and the soundtrack, which was imprinted alongside the pictures and read by special projectors. This system inherently maintained perfect synchronization at all times and did not require a separate medium (waxed discs or vinyl records) for audio playback system during projection. Anyway, by 1946 when this footage was filmed, the sound on film system had long since been adopted.
I see and since then separate sound recording systems have been used at least in studio/ television productions. In this period we are talking about 1920-40's, Newsreel cameras simultaneously recording optical sound is a technology I had not heard about. It's very impressive and I would like to find more of it. It seems like it would exist? A couple months ago I came across some interviews of Air Force pilots on D-Day, looks like what you said, sound optically recorded. Here is the raw footage, th-cam.com/video/MsI2j1AsZhI/w-d-xo.html . And a rough cut I did to correct the aspect ratio to 4:3 and clean up the picture and remove the sound of the camera running, th-cam.com/video/YfRK5fxgOm8/w-d-xo.html .
Just look at the arrogant chinless wonder with his array of medals attempting to interrogate a real soldier. The victors justice, nothing more and nothing less.

Vigilantes attacked him in the night. He managed to scare them off (wannabe tough guys are marshmallow soft when compared to grizzled war veterans), but they set fire to his house with Molotov cocktails. Peiper suffocated on smoke fumes while trying to retrieve personal items from the house.
Much comment here about intelligence, courage and command ability. This man was a passionate Nazi, a murderous antisemite and by any normal moral measure, not a soldier worthy of admiration. This is a fascinating glimpse of the trials that sought to bring justice to many a victim of murder and or war crimes. Certainly, the victor writes the history - but by any measure this man was a murderer and an apologist for murderers. In this clip, he is doing all he can to avoid a harsh verdict or sentence.
And all the other nazis who were all given absolution, without taking care of all the crimes they did, just to fight the new ennemy.. US forgive to to many war criminals from japan, the emperor first...

@@r0ky_M And killing civilians ? Peiper was a pure ss, violent and given the licence to kill without respecting any rule, like all nazi forces. And a commando, behind annemy lines, can take prisonners ? Even if allies sometimes, kill german pows, well, for all the pain they bring across europe from 1939 (first pow and civilians killing at war start) to 1945...
Commies killed him with coward tactics. If died at the hands of 101st through a firing squad, that would've been fine. But, he was killed by commie partisans in France. If you want to go by that logic, and support commies for killing Peiper, the commie Viet Congs killing Americans are also well deserved. American POWs had it coming in Vietnam.
Maybe you are too blind to see , Joachim Peiper isn't any worse than the many other officers/soldiers of other nations. Detest the Nazis all you want . Even his foes respected Peiper.
There was even respect among allied troops towards Peiper. Jewish judge said he was most honest accused they had, US troops who got captured by Peipers unit personally said they were well treated and given cigarets and more stuff in book i read. You are just looking black & white whole world, Peiper wasnt that much worse than many Allied or Soviet people in that position.

My father was surrounded for 6 weeks at MALMEDY until Patton arrived. Of his detachment of 1 ST ARMY G-2 EUROPEAN CIVIL AFFAIRS only 7 total made it home. His "H" (Hebrew) dog tags would have entitled him to a very unpleasant death IF captured by the WAFFEN SS.
My grandpa and his brother was in “SS liebstdendarte adolf hitler” he told what stopped his panzer regiment is the air force wen the battle started the weather was bad all planes were grounded cause of fog then after few days weather cleared and game was up Germans had no air cover if the fog continued for few day ss panzer army would’ve sliced through Patton and his army like blow torch and that where the nickname blowtorch battalion came from just like in North Africa

Is it far fetched to note how much of the character of Peiper is veiled within the fictional presentation of Robert Shaw as Hessler in the film.Battle of the Bulge. Clearly the role of the Waffen SS had to be underplayed and even written out from this script but at times the contributions made by their Panzer inescapably leaks from the action I would say

There has been relaxations but you are never going to have cinematic glorification of Peiper I would add.

Why does the sound go silent so many times ?
The magnetic tape sound reels may have been misplaced, damaged or lost. During filming sound is recorded separately and then later combined with a 2nd film print that has the audio added on a optical sound strip on the edge of the film. There was no technology then where a film camera could record sound at the same time.
@@timmccarthy982 Why would magnetic tape be used? They had sound cameras (aka "talkies") which used photo-electric cells to record synchronized sound simultaneously with the motion pictures decades before these recordings were made. That is to say the sound file was embedded as an integral part of the celluloid film itself.
@@drott150 They may have. I was thinking of what I thought would be the common practice (maybe it wasn't?) to record film and sound separately and how you might have something on film but be missing the sound. The times that I can think of when something has gone "missing" is during separate recording and either the sound but most often the film doesn't exist. Like when someone forgets to roll the camera, there's a technical problem with the camera or a roll of film gets exposed.
@@timmccarthy982 In the earliest days of sound movies they did have systems that recorded the sound on a separate medium. And when the movie was played back that separate medium had to be carefully synchronized with the film so that the images and sound would be in harmony. For instance, "The Jazz Singer" released in 1927 was the first widely released sound movie ("talkie"). That film's sound was recorded on waxed records that were played back in sync with the film via a turntable connected to a film projector through an interlocking mechanism. But this rather klunky system was quickly replaced with the much better "sound on film" system.
The sound on film system worked by converting sound waves into light waves that were then photographically inscribed onto the film itself. This allowed for a single strip of film to carry both pictures and the soundtrack, which was imprinted alongside the pictures and read by special projectors. This system inherently maintained perfect synchronization at all times and did not require a separate medium (waxed discs or vinyl records) for audio playback system during projection.
Anyway, by 1946 when this footage was filmed, the sound on film system had long since been adopted.
I see and since then separate sound recording systems have been used at least in studio/ television productions. In this period we are talking about 1920-40's, Newsreel cameras simultaneously recording optical sound is a technology I had not heard about. It's very impressive and I would like to find more of it. It seems like it would exist? A couple months ago I came across some interviews of Air Force pilots on D-Day, looks like what you said, sound optically recorded. Here is the raw footage, th-cam.com/video/MsI2j1AsZhI/w-d-xo.html . And a rough cut I did to correct the aspect ratio to 4:3 and clean up the picture and remove the sound of the camera running, th-cam.com/video/YfRK5fxgOm8/w-d-xo.html .

He got his deserved punishment much later in 1976 but at least he got it.
Commies killed him with coward tactics. If died at the hands of 101st through a firing squad, that would've been fine. But, he was killed by commie partisans in France. If you want to go by that logic, and support commies for killing Peiper, the commie Viet Congs killing Americans are also well deserved. American POWs had it coming in Vietnam.
The amount of people sympathizing with Peiper in this comment section is alarming...Also does anyone know the name of the interpreter?
