The "Wereth Eleven"

[Inquisitor]

I only recently came across this alleged Waffen-SS "atrocity," in a book on the Ardennes-Offensive, and I must say, I am highly skeptical of this tale!

The so-called "Wereth-Eleven ( Black American Artillerymen) :"

From Wiki:

Wereth 11 Massacre[edit]

Eleven of its soldiers became separated from the unit after it was overrun early on the second day of the battle. In an effort to reach American lines they made their way to the hamlet of Wereth, Belgium, where a farmer, Mathias Langer, sheltered them.[3] However, later that day, a Nazi sympathizer revealed their presence to members of the 1st SS Division. They surrendered, but were taken to a field, where they were tortured, maimed, and shot on 17 December 1944. Their remains were found by Allied soldiers two months later, after the Allies re-took the area. The soldiers had their fingers cut off, legs broken, and at least one was shot while trying to bandage a comrade's wounds.[4]

This positively reeks of an Allied propaganda story and/or something straight out of a Hollywood studio (though those two were often one and the same entity). "Had their fingers cut off?" They were "tortured, maimed..."

Really? Why on Earth would members of the Northern spearhead of the German offensive have done such a thing? Were they not more than a little pre-occupied with their assigned tasks? And what reason would there be for such savagery? Again, this sounds like something invented in the modern day to reinforce the erroneous idea that the "evil Nazis" hated all non-Whites, and so on and so forth. Indeed, this whole incident was apparently only officially acknowledged in recent years(which makes it that much less plausible):

In May 2004, a memorial was dedicated to the Wereth 11 on Matthias Langer's land.

In 2006, veterans with the Worcester, Massachusetts chapter of Veterans of the Battle of the Bulge dedicated what is presumed to be the first memorial to the Wereth 11 on U.S. soil. It was dedicated at the Winchendon Veterans' Memorial Cemetery on 20 August.

I honestly can't find much about this alleged "atrocity" online, and haven't found anything from the Revisionist side that addresses it.

Anyone familiar with any more info on this?

Inquisitor, you nailed it. It's really nothing more than propaganda with a mandatory PC touch. There was no "Wereth Eleven" atrocity.

These days all claimed Allied deaths in WWII, which the Allies started, are distorted in a manner which serves the interests of the ultimate propaganda effort, buying votes for the 'holocaust' nonsense.

The veterans who were baited and forced to participate in WWII want to feel special. For most veterans WWII was the most significant part of otherwise dull, non-eventful lives. These unquestioning tax slaves relish creepy propaganda which tells them they were part of 'the finest generation'.

Sadly it's all they have and it's all a lie.

At this point, it is really basically impossible for me to see it otherwise. Knowing all we currently do about just how much of the "official" WW2 narrative is, in point of fact, tons of mendacity, interspersed with a few pounds of truth here and there, I simply cannot accept this event as happening as claimed. Apparently, even the official "US War Crimes" investigation files doesn't support the more lurid claims on Wikipedia - or as stated elsewhere.(I can only imagine what the film claims!)

Then let's look at this preposterous discussion at the Axis History forum. Just as with all things "holocaust," there are all manner of claims, opinions, conjecture and so forth...but no proof of anything! No photos of course. And the usual clap-trap about "witnesses" who, admittedly, didn't see any actual atrocity committed, but conveniently must presume it did just the same.

But of course those folks still believe it happened one way or the other - after all, the Allies would NEVER make such a thing up for propaganda purposes...would they?

And once again, the fact that nothing much was ever made of it until very recently casts still more doubt on it all.

Yes, and even if the 'massacre' took place, Himmler, not 'the Nazis', should be blamed for his fanatic devotion to Nordicism. This story reeks of the same pretentious stench that surrounds the 'murder' of Helmut Hubener.
