How One Man Survived Execution By The SS - Battle of the Bulge Documentary

On December 17, 1944, during the chaos of the Battle of the Bulge, the quiet town of Ligneuville became the site of a horrifying war crime. Hitler’s elite Waffen-SS troops, led by Joachim Peiper, carried out several brutal massacres that left dozens dead—but in Ligneuville one man, Joseph Mass, miraculously survived. In this gripping documentary, we uncover the full story of the Ligneuville massacre, featuring eyewitness accounts, the chilling actions of the perpetrators, and a closer look at how one man defied all odds to escape. We’ll also visit the site of the massacre, explore its historical context, and discuss how justice was served (and sometimes denied) in the aftermath of WWII. Join us as we walk through the footsteps of history and shed light on a war crime that must never be forgotten. ---------------------------------- SUPPORT US ON PATREON!
