Upon release from prison, Peiper worked for the Porsche and Volkswagen automobile companies and later moved to France, where he worked as a freelance translator. Throughout his post-war life, Peiper was very active in the social network of ex-SS men centred upon the right-wing organisation HIAG (Mutual Aid Association of Former Members of the Waffen-SS).
In 1976, Peiper died from asphyxiation after communist arsonists discovered his identity and set his house on fire.

A shame those arsonists didn’t find him sooner.
This could be a great premise for a silly TV show. Like “Tires” but with a Nazi
stalin shouldn’t have stopped at berlin
Only mistake Stalin made was stopping in Berlin.
and not puruging corn boy
Yep, that one was definitely also a mistake.
In the US military, the idolatry of Peiper penetrated the official publications of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). In 2019, the DoD Facebook account included a colourised military photograph of Peiper in Waffen-SS uniform in an audiovisual commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the US Army fighting Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS soldiers at the Battle of the Bulge which included the Malmedy Massacre (1944) committed by Kampfgruppe Peiper.
Not surprised but
There was also that bank manager guy who was killed by the RAF.
Denazification be like: Job at the UN
NATO was practically Denazi High where they all got to hang out with their best friends after the conclusion of the hit series “nazi germany”

Heinrich Schtürmller was sentenced to 15 years hard labour for ordering the execution of 5,000 civilians in Nuremfuld, Öst-Bavaria
Heinrich was later released on good behaviour 5 weeks later on special request of the West German population who were suspiciously eager to fight the Soviets for some reason.
Following his release, he became special envoy at the West German institute for Jewish Reconciliation, where he lobbied the authorities to encourage emigration of ethnic Jews to Israel.
Weird how Nazis keep getting into my anticommunism
Nazi, car salesman, is there any difference?
I suspect the car salesman would be less sleazy and scummy.
Even one who sells used cars.
(And at least the car salesman probably hasn’t committed any veritable war crimes.)
Peiper? of Kampfgruppe Peiper? He did one of the worst warcrimes of the western front when his men murdered 84 POW’s at the Malmedy massacre.
His unit was fresh from the eastern front, they were just going through the motions.
May their souls rest unburdened from the justice served through antifascist vengeance.
