Malmedy question

[Woodbutcher824]

Is there a list of what American units that was involved in Malmedy massacre?

The reason why I'm asking is, I just saw a movie that had 101st troops as some of the prisoners. I don't remember reading anything about 101st being in that area at that time.

I know that men from Battery B of the 285th Field Artillery Observation Battalion were the prisoners.

If you are talking about the movie saints and sinners there are a lot of historical inaccuracies in it, such as units not being there at the time the movie says. However I did read one article , and for the life of me cannot find it now that there were a couple of medics from the 101st killed there. They were supposedly attached to a field hospital that was moving and caught a ride with the 285th Field Artillery Observation Battalion . However I don't know if it's true or not.

The movie was done in 05, so I am wondering if they were trying to ride the Band of Brothers coat tails. I hate it when they do movies and do not get things right.
