Came the end of the war, and the 73 Nazi Storm Troopers responsible for the massacre were tried and found guilty. Most of them confes- sed. “The atrocities,” according to a Senate report, “were committed by the combat group Peiper and were members of the Waffen SS . which had a long, notorious military record on both the west- ern and eastern fronts.” Despite this record, despite the cold-bloodedness of the murder, and despite the fact only 12 of the 73 got the death penalty for Killing 450 men, Senator McCarthy put on a terrific campaign last year to get the convictions reversed. McCarthy Rebuffed In speech after speech on the Senate floor, he charged that the U. 8. Army had extorted confes- sions from the murderers. His cam- paign was much like that now aim- ed at the State Department, and he was so insistent that a subcom- mittee of the Senate Armed Ser- vices Committee finally was ap- pointed to make an investigation. It wrote a unanimous report up- holding the Army and inferentially condemning McCarthy. The ESen- ator from Wisconsin, the commit- tee indicated, had been sold a bill of goods by the National Council for the Prevention of War and other outfits with close German connection: McCarthy's Senate colleagues al- s0 urged the Justice Department to investigate the “unusual activ- Ity in this cdse of certain organiza- tions and individuals,” and even asked the Defense Department to probe the “possibility of a plan to revive German nationalistic spirit by discrediting the American mili- tary government and to determine whether this is part of larger plan to bring Germany into closer relationship with the Soviet Union.’ Thus McCarthy's own mplied that he might a colleagues be lend- intimidatién of the Army, it is still helding up the execution of the 12 Nazis responsible for shooting 350 American GI's and 100 Belglans.
