This is better than any Law & Order episode . Piper is someone lawyers worry about . He might Tell the Truth . He's obviously not intimidated . Had the war lasted longer . He'd have been the German Army's youngest General .
"History is always written by the victor, and the histories of the losing parties belong to the shrinking circles of those who were there" - Joachim Peiper
seriously? he is a state sanctioned serial killer- the cute quote so often used doesn’t erase the hundreds of eye witnesses and accounts of his barbaric thirst for blood. rediculous comment
@@silverbackstrongzone Firebombing of Tokyo, 2 Atomic bombs in Japan, the Terror Bombing campaign launched against German civilians, are all of these not state sanction mass murders?
This translator was far better than the actual German Female that was also used. lol Peiper was an extremely intelligent individual, his composure and ability to listen and respond under these circumstances is worthy of study. There is an observable impressiveness about it all!
With out a doubt he is far superior than what I could have done. It would have been difficult for me just to do a direct translation of some of the lawyer’s questions. “Did you see any 1 year old babies shooting at you ?” The urge to soften the question to something more reasonable in the translation would be really strong.
Peiper had perfect English. He was an interpreter at the 1936 Olympics and a fine officer ; even his Jewish judge for these proceedings said he was the best witness he had ever dealt with. The confusion of war and his forthright answers kept him from the gallows. Still, he spent 11 yrs in Landsberg and retired to obscurity later in life to Traves in eastern France. In 1976 communists burned him to death in his house. We as victors were not worthy to slur his name!
Damn near conquered the world? No, they had no chance to conquer the world at all in ww2. German generals told Hitler so in the beginning of Unternehmen Barbarossa, but He hat his own plans. Lack of resources, lack of soldiers, lack of experienced pilots after the lost battle of Britain , desperately needed oil fields were out of reach; too long distances to the front; unsecure situation in occupied areas because of guerilla tactics of the "beaten" enemy in former soviet union, yugoslavia, Italy, france. No chance at all for them despite the abuse of 10 million labor slaves in the "Reich" in 1944, who worked in deadly circumstances to rebuild destroyed factories in Germany. In ww 1 the huns had a Chance to win it all because russia was in trouble with the revolution, not in ww 2. In ww 2 Soviet Union was strong and clever to stretch the combat zone. The germans were lost in space.

Herbert B. Rosenstock, 71, a physicist with the Solid State Division of the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory from the early 1950s until his retirement in 1975, died of cardiac arrest July 13 at his home in Temple Hills. Dr. Rosenstock, who was born in Vienna, immigrated to the United States in 1939 and graduated from Clemson University in South Carolina. He served in the Army during World War II and remained in Europe to serve as an interpreter for the war crimes trials. After receiving a doctorate in physics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, he started a long career at the Naval Research Laboratory and intermittently taught physics at the University of Utah and astronomy at George Mason University. An avid hiker and conservationist, he was a member of the Maryland Conservation Council.
My father was surrounded for 6 weeks at MALMEDY until Patton arrived. Of his detachment of 1 ST ARMY G-2 EUROPEAN CIVIL AFFAIRS only 7 total made it home. His "H" (Hebrew) dog tags would have entitled him to a very unpleasant death IF captured by the WAFFEN SS.
My grandpa and his brother was in “SS liebstdendarte adolf hitler” he told what stopped his panzer regiment is the air force wen the battle started the weather was bad all planes were grounded cause of fog then after few days weather cleared and game was up Germans had no air cover if the fog continued for few day ss panzer army would’ve sliced through Patton and his army like blow torch and that where the nickname blowtorch battalion came from just like in North Africa
Is it far fetched to note how much of the character of Peiper is veiled within the fictional presentation of Robert Shaw as Hessler in the film.Battle of the Bulge. Clearly the role of the Waffen SS had to be underplayed and even written out from this script but at times the contributions made by their Panzer inescapably leaks from the action I would say
@@Pseudonym-aka-alias Was it crap because of what it attempted to hide or merely badly portrayed in exactly the wrong setting it looks like a desert with all the wrong vehicles standing in. Spare the boy Shoot the father...its been bettered by the Germans themselves but I was pointing out what doomed this production from the beginning. There has been relaxations but you are never going to have cinematic glorification of Peiper I would add.
@@Pseudonym-aka-aliasI agree that movie was atrocious. There really ought to be a remake of The Battle of the Bulge using real names and real incidents. The movie was a highly fictionalized account and did a terrible job of telling the true story! Horrible movie. Just horrible!
The magnetic tape sound reels may have been misplaced, damaged or lost. During filming sound is recorded separately and then later combined with a 2nd film print that has the audio added on a optical sound strip on the edge of the film. There was no technology then where a film camera could record sound at the same time.
@@timmccarthy982 Why would magnetic tape be used? They had sound cameras (aka "talkies") which used photo-electric cells to record synchronized sound simultaneously with the motion pictures decades before these recordings were made. That is to say the sound file was embedded as an integral part of the celluloid film itself.
@@drott150 They may have. I was thinking of what I thought would be the common practice (maybe it wasn't?) to record film and sound separately and how you might have something on film but be missing the sound. The times that I can think of when something has gone "missing" is during separate recording and either the sound but most often the film doesn't exist. Like when someone forgets to roll the camera, there's a technical problem with the camera or a roll of film gets exposed.
@@timmccarthy982 In the earliest days of sound movies they did have systems that recorded the sound on a separate medium. And when the movie was played back that separate medium had to be carefully synchronized with the film so that the images and sound would be in harmony. For instance, "The Jazz Singer" released in 1927 was the first widely released sound movie ("talkie"). That film's sound was recorded on waxed records that were played back in sync with the film via a turntable connected to a film projector through an interlocking mechanism. But this rather klunky system was quickly replaced with the much better "sound on film" system. The sound on film system worked by converting sound waves into light waves that were then photographically inscribed onto the film itself. This allowed for a single strip of film to carry both pictures and the soundtrack, which was imprinted alongside the pictures and read by special projectors. This system inherently maintained perfect synchronization at all times and did not require a separate medium (waxed discs or vinyl records) for audio playback system during projection. Anyway, by 1946 when this footage was filmed, the sound on film system had long since been adopted.
I see and since then separate sound recording systems have been used at least in studio/ television productions. In this period we are talking about 1920-40's, Newsreel cameras simultaneously recording optical sound is a technology I had not heard about. It's very impressive and I would like to find more of it. It seems like it would exist? A couple months ago I came across some interviews of Air Force pilots on D-Day, looks like what you said, sound optically recorded. Here is the raw footage, ua-cam.com/video/MsI2j1AsZhI/v-deo.html . And a rough cut I did to correct the aspect ratio to 4:3 and clean up the picture and remove the sound of the camera running, ua-cam.com/video/YfRK5fxgOm8/v-deo.html .

@@kjragg1099 _and the other soldiers from his Kampfgruppe on trial in the same courtroom probably don't know English as well as Peiper, so in terms of a fair trial, they should be allowed to hear all the court dialogue in German.

Much comment here about intelligence, courage and command ability. This man was a passionate Nazi, a murderous antisemite and by any normal moral measure, not a soldier worthy of admiration. This is a fascinating glimpse of the trials that sought to bring justice to many a victim of murder and or war crimes. Certainly, the victor writes the history - but by any measure this man was a murderer and an apologist for murderers. In this clip, he is doing all he can to avoid a harsh verdict or sentence.
Maybe you are too blind to see , Joachim Peiper isn't any worse than the many other officers/soldiers of other nations. Detest the Nazis all you want . Even his foes respected Peiper.
There was even respect among allied troops towards Peiper. Jewish judge said he was most honest accused they had, US troops who got captured by Peipers unit personally said they were well treated and given cigarets and more stuff in book i read. You are just looking black & white whole world, Peiper wasnt that much worse than many Allied or Soviet people in that position.
Commies killed him with coward tactics. If died at the hands of 101st through a firing squad, that would've been fine. But, he was killed by commie partisans in France. If you want to go by that logic, and support commies for killing Peiper, the commie Viet Congs killing Americans are also well deserved. American POWs had it coming in Vietnam.

Where did he outwit him exactly?
@@kjragg1099 kgrp peiper killed womans and babies while in bullington. So the interogator try to justify the killing bcz the baby firing at peiper and ask him if this happen. That was a silly question try to trap him and admitted he committed war crime but peiper react with silly answer too
@@KotobKotob well I wouldn’t say that he really outwitted him. The interrogator was just asking him semi-sarcastic questions then Peiper responded with his own sarcasm saying not even in Russia did he see any babies firing at him.

Herbert B. Rosenstock, 71, a physicist with the Solid State Division of the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory from the early 1950s until his retirement in 1975, died of cardiac arrest July 13 at his home in Temple Hills.
Dr. Rosenstock, who was born in Vienna, immigrated to the United States in 1939 and graduated from Clemson University in South Carolina. He served in the Army during World War II and remained in Europe to serve as an interpreter for the war crimes trials.
After receiving a doctorate in physics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, he started a long career at the Naval Research Laboratory and intermittently taught physics at the University of Utah and astronomy at George Mason University. An avid hiker and conservationist, he was a member of the Maryland Conservation Council.

My father was surrounded for 6 weeks at MALMEDY until Patton arrived. Of his detachment of 1 ST ARMY G-2 EUROPEAN CIVIL AFFAIRS only 7 total made it home. His "H" (Hebrew) dog tags would have entitled him to a very unpleasant death IF captured by the WAFFEN SS.
My grandpa and his brother was in “SS liebstdendarte adolf hitler” he told what stopped his panzer regiment is the air force wen the battle started the weather was bad all planes were grounded cause of fog then after few days weather cleared and game was up Germans had no air cover if the fog continued for few day ss panzer army would’ve sliced through Patton and his army like blow torch and that where the nickname blowtorch battalion came from just like in North Africa

Who is the translator?
The sound has faded out?
Is it far fetched to note how much of the character of Peiper is veiled within the fictional presentation of Robert Shaw as Hessler in the film.Battle of the Bulge. Clearly the role of the Waffen SS had to be underplayed and even written out from this script but at times the contributions made by their Panzer inescapably leaks from the action I would say

That film was crap
@@Pseudonym-aka-alias Was it crap because of what it attempted to hide or merely badly portrayed in exactly the wrong setting it looks like a desert with all the wrong vehicles standing in. Spare the boy Shoot the father...its been bettered by the Germans themselves but I was pointing out what doomed this production from the beginning. There has been relaxations but you are never going to have cinematic glorification of Peiper I would add.
@@Pseudonym-aka-aliasI agree that movie was atrocious. There really ought to be a remake of The Battle of the Bulge using real names and real incidents. The movie was a highly fictionalized account and did a terrible job of telling the true story! Horrible movie. Just horrible!
Why does the sound go silent so many times ?
The magnetic tape sound reels may have been misplaced, damaged or lost. During filming sound is recorded separately and then later combined with a 2nd film print that has the audio added on a optical sound strip on the edge of the film. There was no technology then where a film camera could record sound at the same time.
@@timmccarthy982 Why would magnetic tape be used? They had sound cameras (aka "talkies") which used photo-electric cells to record synchronized sound simultaneously with the motion pictures decades before these recordings were made. That is to say the sound file was embedded as an integral part of the celluloid film itself.
@@drott150 They may have. I was thinking of what I thought would be the common practice (maybe it wasn't?) to record film and sound separately and how you might have something on film but be missing the sound. The times that I can think of when something has gone "missing" is during separate recording and either the sound but most often the film doesn't exist. Like when someone forgets to roll the camera, there's a technical problem with the camera or a roll of film gets exposed.
@@timmccarthy982 In the earliest days of sound movies they did have systems that recorded the sound on a separate medium. And when the movie was played back that separate medium had to be carefully synchronized with the film so that the images and sound would be in harmony. For instance, "The Jazz Singer" released in 1927 was the first widely released sound movie ("talkie"). That film's sound was recorded on waxed records that were played back in sync with the film via a turntable connected to a film projector through an interlocking mechanism. But this rather klunky system was quickly replaced with the much better "sound on film" system.
The sound on film system worked by converting sound waves into light waves that were then photographically inscribed onto the film itself. This allowed for a single strip of film to carry both pictures and the soundtrack, which was imprinted alongside the pictures and read by special projectors. This system inherently maintained perfect synchronization at all times and did not require a separate medium (waxed discs or vinyl records) for audio playback system during projection.
Anyway, by 1946 when this footage was filmed, the sound on film system had long since been adopted.
I see and since then separate sound recording systems have been used at least in studio/ television productions. In this period we are talking about 1920-40's, Newsreel cameras simultaneously recording optical sound is a technology I had not heard about. It's very impressive and I would like to find more of it. It seems like it would exist? A couple months ago I came across some interviews of Air Force pilots on D-Day, looks like what you said, sound optically recorded. Here is the raw footage, ua-cam.com/video/MsI2j1AsZhI/v-deo.html . And a rough cut I did to correct the aspect ratio to 4:3 and clean up the picture and remove the sound of the camera running, ua-cam.com/video/YfRK5fxgOm8/v-deo.html .

Much comment here about intelligence, courage and command ability.
This man was a passionate Nazi, a murderous antisemite and by any normal moral measure, not a soldier worthy of admiration.
This is a fascinating glimpse of the trials that sought to bring justice to many a victim of murder and or war crimes.
Certainly, the victor writes the history - but by any measure this man was a murderer and an apologist for murderers.
In this clip, he is doing all he can to avoid a harsh verdict or sentence.
The amount of people sympathizing with Peiper in this comment section is alarming...Also does anyone know the name of the interpreter?
Maybe you are too blind to see , Joachim Peiper isn't any worse than the many other officers/soldiers of other nations. Detest the Nazis all you want . Even his foes respected Peiper.

There was even respect among allied troops towards Peiper.

He got his deserved punishment much later in 1976 but at least he got it.
Commies killed him with coward tactics. If died at the hands of 101st through a firing squad, that would've been fine. But, he was killed by commie partisans in France. If you want to go by that logic, and support commies for killing Peiper, the commie Viet Congs killing Americans are also well deserved. American POWs had it coming in Vietnam.
