Whoops, what you said!
Yes sir...wherever Peiper tried to turn his panzer kampfgruppe he found the engineers had been there first, blowing bridges.
His tanks were critically low on fuel when a group of engineers blew a bridge literally in his face. That was when he screamed “Those damned engineers!”
Peiper eventually had to abandon his vehicles and walk back to German lines.
After the war Peiper was convicted of war crimes for the Malmedy massacre and sentenced to death. The death sentence was commuted to “perpetual prison.” He was eventually released from prison and ended up in France working as a freelance interpreter.
When he was outed as a Waffen SS war criminal in 1976 some French citizens burned his house down. With him in it.
