1945 Malmedy massacre... Battle of the Bulge.....



Item # 712185

January 15, 1945

THE DETROIT FREE PRESS, January 15, 1945

* Malmedy massacre in Belgium
* Battle of the Bulge nears the end
* 1st SS Panzer Division - perpetrators


The front page has a banner headline: "NAZIS FLEE FROM BELGIUM; 232 GERMAN PLANES DOWNED" with subheads.
The top of page 3 has a banner heading: "Yanks Fighting in 'Field of the Dead' Cry for Revenge on Butchers" with lead-in: "Snow-Covered Victims of Nazi Massacre Drive GIs into Fury" (see images)
This war crime "Malmedy Massacre" was actually committed about a month earlier but wasn't relaized until more allied troops entered the area.  Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Complete with 16 pages, light toning and a little wear at the margins, generally good.
