Distomo massacre
The Distomo massacre ((ギリシア語:Η σφαγή του Διστόμου); (ドイツ語:Massaker von Distomo'' or ''Distomo-Massaker)) was a Nazi war crime perpetrated by members of the Waffen-SS in the village of Distomo, Greece, during the Axis occupation of Greece during World War II.
==The Massacre==
On June 10, 1944, for over two hours, Waffen-SS troops of the 4th SS Polizei Panzergrenadier Division under the command of SS-Hauptsturmführer Fritz Lautenbach went door to door and massacred Greek civilians as part of a 'retaliation measure' for a partisan attack upon the unit. A total of 214 men, women and children were killed in Distomo,〔("Greek Government response to ICJ Ruling" Embassy of Greece ).〕 a small village near Delphi.〔("Greeks lose Nazi massacre claim." 26 June 2003 BBC ).〕 According to survivors, SS forces "bayoneted babies in their cribs, stabbed pregnant women, and beheaded the village priest."〔
Following the massacre, a Secret Field Police agent accompanying the German forces informed the authorities that, contrary to Lautenbach's official report, the German troops had come under attack several miles from Distomo and had not been fired upon "with mortars, machine-guns and rifles from the direction of Distomo". An inquiry was convened. Lautenbach admitted that he had gone beyond standing orders, but the tribunal found in his favour, holding that he had been motivated, not by negligence or ignorance, but by a sense of responsibility towards his men.〔Mark Mazower, ''Inside Hitler's Greece'' (Yale University Press, New Haven and London, 1993), at pages 212 to 214〕
