Crossroads of Death by James J. Weingartner – Malmedy Massacre

A thoroughly researched account of the Malmedy Massacre and the controversial military trial that followed.

Some treasures at Kate's Treasures15 are chosen because they are beautiful or useful. Others are here because they belonged to my dad and formed part of a collection shaped by his interest in real lives, politics and the human consequences of history.

Dad was an actor and scriptwriter who was drawn to complex true stories, particularly those that raised difficult questions about responsibility, evidence and justice.

Written by James J. Weingartner, Crossroads of Death: The Story of the Malmedy Massacre and Trial examines the killing of American prisoners of war by Waffen-SS troops during the Battle of the Bulge.

The book also considers the military proceedings that followed, including the investigation, the evidence presented, the treatment of defendants and the political controversy that continued long after the trial ended.

A serious and compelling study for readers interested in Second World War history, military justice and the legal aftermath of wartime atrocities.

Arya's Approval

Right darlings… this is a difficult but important examination of an atrocity, the search for accountability and the legal questions that followed. It does not offer easy conclusions. Instead, it asks the reader to consider how evidence is gathered, how justice is administered after war and how political pressure can shape the public understanding of a case. A thoughtful and demanding work of military and legal history.
