Joachen Peiper

Wars create warriors, true warriors somehow remain untainted by the politics of war. Peiper was created by the times, the German war machine (not the Nazi, he was Waffen SS )created the environment which promoted a man with his talents in war to the status he acheived. His soldiers worshiped him because of the risks he took, he called them "meine junge" (my boys), and somehow survived the post war politics of the Candadian massacre at the Falise Gap in July (?)1944 and also the Malmedy massacre in a deservedly anti German environment. Warriors respect true warriors even on opposite sides. Peiper had this respect from combat soldiers. Read about Hans Von Luck, he fought in every Campaign from Africa with Rommel, the Eastern Front, then in the West.

Another true warrior.
