The Forgotten Massacres of Defenseless Soldiers in WWII
11 African American Soldiers Executed by SS: The Wereth Massacre
9m 41s
In December 1944, during the Battle of the Bulge, 11 African American soldiers from the 333rd Field Artillery Battalion sought refuge in the Belgian village of Wereth. Betrayed by a local collaborator, they surrendered to the SS—only to be brutally tortured and executed. Their mutilated bodies, discovered weeks later, revealed shocking cruelty. This documentary examines the Wereth Massacre, the silence that followed, and the belated recognition of these men as symbols of sacrifice and resilience.
