The Chenogne massacre is the killing of Wehrmacht prisoners by American troops near the village of Chenogne, Belgium, on January 1, 1945. The massacre was carried out shortly after Malmedy when captured American soldiers were gunned down by members of the Waffen SS. It was one of several war crimes that took place during the Battle of Bulge involving the Allies and Axis forces.
The events were covered up at the time and none of the perpetrators were punished. Post war historians believe the killings were based on senior commanders given verbal orders that "no prisoners were to be taken".

War brings about some bad results SGT John " Mac " McConnell doesn't make it right and not justified. Nothing civilized about war....
