🎧 This week on Reveal, we’re looking back to an event that happened on New Year’s Eve in 1944.

It’s a story — nearly lost to history — about an American war crime during World War II. 🧵 revealnews.org/podcast/take-n…
In December 1944 during the Battle of the Bulge, German troops killed 84 U.S. soldiers who had surrendered.

The incident is referred to as the Malmedy Massacre, and it was splashed across U.S. headlines at the time. bit.ly/chenogne-tw
Two weeks later, U.S. troops committed a similar massacre against German soldiers who had surrendered in Chenogne, Belgium.

But unlike the Malmedy Massacre, what happened in Chenogne did not get the same coverage. bit.ly/chenogne-tw A photo of Chenogne, Belgium
.@ChrisHDeee searched for a long time for someone who knew about Chenogne. There aren’t many who really know what happened there — let alone saw what happened with their own eyes.

We bring you his conversations with historians and a veteran who was there. revealnews.org/podcast/take-n…
You’ll also hear how @ChrisHDeee uncovered that the Patton Papers don’t accurately reflect Gen. George S. Patton’s diary entries about Chenogne.

But there was one consistent line: “I hope we can conceal this.” revealnews.org/podcast/take-n…
And in the last segment, Ben Ferencz, the last surviving lawyer from the Nuremberg trials, talks to @ChrisHDeee about why the Americans escaped justice.

🧵 After a Reveal + @MotherJones investigation prompted action in Congress, a major Dominican sugar exporter razed workers’ homes as US diplomats drew near.

“They didn’t tell me anything. They just came and started breaking houses.” motherjones.com/politics/2021/…
@MotherJones The homes were in a settlement in the Dominican Republic known to residents as Batey Hoyo de Puerco, or Pig Hole, and an estimated 230 Haitian cane cutters and their families lived there. motherjones.com/politics/2021/…
@MotherJones The settlement’s demolition is just one of a wave of actions taken by the billion-dollar Central Romana corporation — one of the biggest suppliers of raw sugar to the United States — following our two-year investigation released in September. bit.ly/reveal-sugar

🧵 Files obtained by Reveal and @wamu885/@DCist show how D.C. Metropolitan Police Department officers avoided accountability and remained on the force, even after internal affairs investigators determined they committed crimes. revealnews.org/article/dc-pol…
@wamu885 @DCist The records, which have never before been made public, show:

The department’s internal investigators concluded that at least 64 people who currently serve as MPD officers committed criminal misconduct. revealnews.org/article/dc-pol…
@wamu885 @DCist The department sought to terminate 24 of those officers.

In 21 of the 24 cases, an internal panel of three officers blocked the terminations and instead issued much lighter punishment.

The panel was led by Robert J. Contee, who is now chief of police. revealnews.org/article/dc-pol…

LOCAL REPORTERS: In 2020, a Reveal lawsuit helped unlock an enormous trove of workplace injury data.

Now, for the first time ever, the public gets to see how thousands of U.S. companies fared.

Some context: A federal judge ruled in 2020 that America’s employers must release their injury and illness records. It was a key decision that struck down corporate and government secrecy around worker safety. revealnews.org/blog/federal-j…
Until this victory, journalists had relied on other means — labor unions, former employees — to acquire the documents, also known as Form 300As.

In fact, that’s how we began our multipart investigation into worker injuries at Amazon warehouses. revealnews.org/behind-the-smi…

⚡ This week on Reveal, we’re switching things up and bringing you an audio drama that deconstructs the mystery around a deadly 2009 explosion at a Mississippi shipyard.

This dramatization is based on real accounts, real events and real people. revealnews.org/podcast/when-l…
People like Clyde Payne, a tenacious OSHA director who investigates the tragedy.

Joey Pettey, a shipyard painter who risked his life to save people trapped on board the burning ship.

Bram Ates, a young shipyard worker who was caught in the explosion. bit.ly/3H0RxFC An image with two photos. The image on the left is of Clyde
The story is inspired by one of @JenniferGollan’s investigations: bit.ly/3mnu5dT
