{{Main|333rd Artillery Battalion (United States)}}
Another, smaller, massacre was committed in [[Wereth]], Belgium, approximately {{convert|6.5|mi}} northeast of [[Saint-Vith]] on 17 December 1944. Eleven black American soldiers were tortured after surrendering and then shot by men of the [[1st SS Panzer Division]] belonging to {{lang|de|Schnellgruppe}} [[Gustav Knittel|Knittel]]. Some of the injuries sustained before death included bayonet wounds to the head, broken legs, and their fingers cut off. The perpetrators were never punished for this crime.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.wereth.org/_en/en_history.php |title=Remembering the invisible soldiers of the Battle of the Bulge |publisher=U.S. Wereth Memorial website |date=29 June 1944 |access-date=12 July 2011 |url-status = dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110728173150/http://www.wereth.org/_en/en_history.php |archive-date=28 July 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |first=Steven |last=Hoover |title=Wereth 11 Remembered in Ceremony |publisher=Defense.gov |access-date=12 July 2011 |url=http://archive.defense.gov/news/newsarticle.aspx?id=33014 |archive-date=5 September 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150905141932/http://archive.defense.gov/news/NewsArticle.aspx?ID=33014 |url-status=dead }}</ref> In 2001, a group of people began working on a tribute to the eleven black American soldiers to remember their sacrifices.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Belgian villagers remember 'Wereth 11' with memorial|url=https://www.stripes.com/news/belgian-villagers-remember-wereth-11-with-memorial-1.60791|access-date=2021-03-25|website=Stars and Stripes|archive-date=21 March 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210321202818/https://www.stripes.com/news/belgian-villagers-remember-wereth-11-with-memorial-1.60791|url-status=dead}}</ref>
