Yeds it was a massacre, but not an intentonal one. No one said 'i think we should just shot these damn yanks'. I think the Germans on the spot, after realiseing what happened, just decided that there should be no wittnesses. After all, who would have believed a bunch of SS men who said it was a mistake.How many SS men were shot out of hand by the Allies, before and after. Its a crime that so manyAllied soldiers got away with such things, and we still hear excses for it today.
