(AP) \u2014 Harold Billow, 99, the last known survivor of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2021\/09\/13\/us-flag-sewn-by-soldier-at-pow-camp-settles-at-smithsonian\/\" target=\"_blank\">World War II POW<\/a> massacre during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/news\/your-army\/2019\/12\/17\/this-army-platoons-last-ditch-stand-during-the-battle-of-the-bulge-holds-lessons-for-small-units-in-future-wars\/\" target=\"_blank\">Battle of the Bulge<\/a>, will be laid to rest Thursday in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Billow, who died May 17, was attached to the Army\u2019s 285th Field Artillery Observation Battalion when his unit surrendered and he was taken prisoner by Waffen SS soldiers as German forces launched an offensive in Belgium to try to change the war\u2019s tide in December 1944.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to various accounts, the Germans opened fire on the unarmed prisoners in a field, killing more than 80 in what came to be known as the Malmedy Massacre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs soon as the machine gun started firing, I went face down in the snow,\u201d Billow told&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/lancasteronline.com\/features\/every-veterans-day-malmedy-massacre-survivor-harold-billow-remembers-his-fallen-comrades-photos\/article_a86aed84-0241-11ea-ba63-23767331badd.html\">Lancaster Online<\/a>&nbsp;in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He played dead as the Germans checked for survivors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnybody that showed signs of life, they would point-blank shoot them in the head to finish them off,\u201d Billow said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Billow said he stayed there for several hours before he and other survivors bolted. He made his way through hedgerows before reaching the safety of American lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the war, he was called to testify at a war crimes trial in which 43 German soldiers were sentenced to death for the Malmedy Massacre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, they were eventually released after investigators determined U.S. guards had coerced confessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><a
