The BRUTAL Post War Execution Of Joachim Peiper - Burned Alive 30 Years After WW2

During the Second World War, there were many army commanders that ordered many atrocities and war crimes. Some of these resulted in them being brought to trial after the conflict, and one of these was Joachim Peiper. Peiper was rather senior in the SS as Heinrich Himmler and he were very close, and he was one of Himmler's favourite adjutants. Peiper was a skilled military commander, and he commanded Kampfgruppe Peiper inside of the Waffen-SS, and they were a group known for their fierce fighting, and for committing terrible war crimes.

Joachim Peiper was known for his short temper, and he also ordered his soldier to execute many Prisoners Of War. One of these atrocities committed by his men was the Malmedy Massacre when over 80 American POWs were gunned down in a field, as Peiper was frustrated with the delay a skirmish with them caused his advance. After the Second World War, he was placed on trial for his crimes, and was sentenced to death however he never faced execution as his sentence was commuted and then reduced significantly. But he managed to live the last decades of his life inside of France in a small village rather peacefully, however things changed in the 1970s.

Many people found out that Peiper was living in the village of Traves, and a hate campaign emerged to try and drive him out. Peiper was sent threatening letters, in which his house was threatened to be burned down. He believed this would never happen, but on Bastille Day 1976 his house was firebombed. Peiper tried to shoot at the attackers who set his property ablaze, however he quickly became overwhelmed by the flames and smoke and died inside of the house fire. It was a shocking event, with the former SS commander being burned alive inside his house, and being killed 30 years after the war had came to an end.
