I was appalled when I read your link. How could these people be allowed to violate every standard of human decency and justice? Those who whitewashed torture and injustice at Nuremberg and Dachau must be woefully ignorant or viscious liars.

Frankly, I read more about the author of the article for the firs time last night and was a little distressed, myself. I wasn't sure what I was reading, but it seems that she may have some connection to those who denied the holocaust. Is that what you think, also?

I tried to do more research on her and came up empty.

I have to add, that some of the research that I did on the Malmedy attack, did support her conclusions on this incedent, though. The soldiers were simply young, rank and file members of a tank division who were given orders to fire on enemy soldiers in the path of their forward movement. The POW group was decimated before they could take cover or escape. A unit of SS then searched the scene, killing survivors and pursing the few who briefly escaped. The soldiers that McCarthy defended were not the SS. (This came from an Army Mortuary site) By today's standards, a death sentece for rank and file tank operators would be very extreme.
