"This was the record of the U.S. General Military Government Court, which sentenced 73 of the Group's personnel in 1946 for the MALMEDY, Belgium massacres in nine localities 17-20 December 1944. Convictions were sustained in 1947 by the ETO's Deputy Judge Advocate for War Crimes, but an Administration of Justice Review Board in 1948 recommended reversal of 28, upholding Peiper's. Subsequent proceedings were not examined." -- Preface. "Combat Group Peiper was commanded by the commander of the 1st SS Panzer Regiment, 1st SS Panzer Division, and was formed around the first battalion of that regiment, with other divisional units as attachments...all units were not atrocity participants." -- Order of Battle, page 2.
