Yup just noticed this post, apparantly you can see Diefenthal at the front of the pic as he wore a captured Ami tanker
jacket and because of this was identified by survivors of the Malmedy execution site as he drove past them in his tank :!:

I seem to recall Diefenthal was a grenadier commander (battalion from recollection?) at the time, so am unsure about the reference to a tank, unless they meant he was riding on it.

Yes mate, apparantly was riding a tank and going past Malmedy as far as i can remember but haven't got ref books to
hand, one book i can recall mentioning the incident was "SS-Peiper" by Charles Whitting among others??

Diefenthal was reputedly wearing an Ami tankers jacket but the articles i read didn't specify, maybe US Tank overalls
which look like that in this pic??, but was identified as such by US survivors of the massacre at the War Crime trials at
Dachau :?:

Cheers Pipes :)
