Conviction of 11 Germans Reversed in Malmedy Case

The U.S. military government confirmed that evidence did not sustain their convictions, effectively clearing them. Three were sentenced to death and eight to life, though they remain imprisoned in Landsberg. Col James Harbaugh and Gen Lucius D. Clay officials confirmed the reversal.
