Philadelphian Ted Paluch, a World War II veteran, shared his recollections of the Malmedy massacre of December 17, 1944. On that grim day during the Battle of the Bulge, 80 U.S. prisoners of war were killed by their German captors. "Hitler issued an order of no quarter, no prisoners, and a terror campaign to instill horror and fear in the Allied armies," said Andy Waskie, a Temple professor who is president of an association of Battle of the Bulge veterans.
