Joachim Peiper (German pronunciation: [ˈjoːaxɪm ˈpaɪpɐ]; 30 January 1915 – 14 July 1976), more often known as Jochen Peiper, was a field officer in the Waffen-SS during World War II, convicted of war crimes in Belgium, among them the Malmedy Massacre, and accused of war crimes in Italy.
He was Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler's personal adjutant (April 1938 – August 1941). In 1945, he was an SS-Standartenführer, the Waffen-SS's youngest regimental colonel.
He was murdered in France in July 1976, after his house was attacked with molotov cocktails.
