Chenogne never happened, it is a figment of the imagination of right wing extremists who want to rewrite history to show that the Nazis were not really that bad since the Allies shot prisoners also. It is an all too common problem on the internet.

The problem with that theory is that when you dig in to it, you will see that the only troops which systematically shot prisoners in cold blood in NWE 44-45 were German SS troops.

Now I am not saying troops in the process of surrendering were not shot. I am sure it happened on both sides in the heat of combat, but there is not one documented case of Allied troops deliberately murdering POWs in NWE 44-45. The Ostfront was, of course, a totally different story.
