"Skadi Forum : Discussion Board for Germanics."
I was doing some research the other day trying to help someone
with their father's WW II service when I ran across the Skadi Forum.
I had heard about it but was not aware that it is growing and is so
wide spread across the world. Those that are interested in what
might happen in the future should follow it's course.
What really frosted me was that the practically were deifying
Joachim Peiper SS-Standartenführer the officer in charge at
The Malmedy massacre and other murders. Read their philosophy
about Malmedy and the excuses for that massacre sickened me.
I remember all too well how often this was offered as an excuse
for being a Nazi and having taken part in atrocities.
Working as an interpreter/interrogator post war the standard
response we were given ad nausea was "I was only following
orders etc".
This site switches the burden of the Malmedy massacre
from Peipers group to the GIs they killed. Many of the participants
insist that the GIs they killed caused their own deaths and the
shooters were only doing their duty.
I would love to have some of you that have served or put practically your
whole life into helping the service prople will read and comment.
I'm not sure this quote is accurate but as I recall it "It is said that
those who ignore history are bound to repeat it"
