Much has been written about Jochen Peiper, though it is unlikely he would have been heard of outside Germany but for the infamous massacre near Malmedy, Belgium, with which his name has been forever associated. Initially shunned and even despised in the years following Germany?s surrender, Peiper is now revered and generally accepted as a brilliant solider. This meticulously researched book explores Peiper?s youth, his career with the SS, the now famous trial of the officers and soldiers of the Leibstandarte, who were accused of war crimes, and Peiper?s murder in France over thirty years later. AUTHOR: Since retiring from a successful military career in 1986, Major General Mike Reynolds has become a highly respected military historian. He is the author of five other critically acclaimed books, printed in numerous languages. SELLING POINTS: * Story of one of Himmler?s former Adjutants and his involvement in the Battle of the Bulge * Publication date coincides with 65th Anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge * Extensive maps and plates sections * Meticulously researched from many rare and obscure sources * Perfect book for readers whose enthusiasm is divided between works of erudite military history and whodunits. ILLUSTRATIONS 16 pages of b/w plates
