Why is the gun appear to be peering inside the building?

something probably hit the tank and killed/incapacitated the driver and the tank went forward until hitting the building

Even from a Wehraboo perspective, Peiper fucked up because he left survivors to tell the tale and didn't get rid of the bodies.

Attached: Leutnant_Wilhelm_Winter.png (893x891, 1.04M)

they went around executing survivors but a couple guys survived by playing dead. Not much point getting rid of the bodies because the whole "justification" for killing them was battlefield expediency. Peiper didn't want prisoners taken because "gotta go fast" and disposing of 100 bodies would take a lot of time especially with the frozen ground.

>they went around executing survivors but a couple guys survived by playing dead.

The whole massacre was pretty botched in terms of execution. If they had wanted to kill them efficiently, forcing them into a confined space (such as a barn or church) and then killing them with automatic weapons or setting it ablaze would've been far more effective. Alternatively they could've separated the prisoners into more manageable groups and then killed them separately as was the Einastzgruppen procedure.

>Peiper didn't want prisoners taken because "gotta go fast" and disposing of 100 bodies would take a lot of time especially with the frozen ground.

Loading the bodies into trucks and them dumping them one by one at various points would've been fairly easy. That or Peiper could've piled them into a pyre and burned them (this was standard procedure at extermination camps that didn't have dedicated crematoria and the Germans had refined it into a near-art).

Pic related, his ride throughout the war was a Dodge WC-63

My uncle was with the 314th during the battle of the bulge. Most of his unit was wiped out and he ran his 1919 till try and was subsequently captured. He was stripped of his cold weather gear including his boots and marched to Germany. Developed frostbite on his feet along the way and eventually made it out of a POW camp in April '45.

Does not hate Germans.
LOVES Serbs because they shared food with him and the Americans.
Does not like Canadians/British because they would not.
Does not like French because they were supposed to re-enforce the 314th if the Germans attacked...they did not. He attributes the loss of his unit to the French.
