User blog:El Alamein/The Malmedy Survivors vs. Ghetto Flops

It's a battle of the rag-tag WWII survivors! The Malmedy Survivors, the few Americans who escaped being killed in the open snow by the 1st SS Panzer Division at the Malmedy Massacre, and the Ghetto Flops, the Jewish police in the Nazi ghettos in Poland that betrayed their own people to survive if but a little longer! It's a battle between military men with almost nothing left to fight with, against the filthiest that Nazi Germany put to work!

The Malmedy Survivors
The Malmedy Survivors were 43 men left of about 120 that managed to escape ferocious German guns after their captors of the 1st SS Panzer Divison opened fire on their mostly unarmed prisoners. The men who made it back to Allied lines faced an intense brutal winter's cold, SS search parties sent after them, and their own wits and many who escaped the inital attack perished quickly afterward.

The Malmedy survivors tried to make it back to their own lines, poorly armed with:
 * 1) The Colt M1911 pistol
 * 2) The M3 Trench Knife
 * 3) The M1 Bayonet

Ghetto Flops
After Hitler initiated his ruthless "final solution", the Jews under his control were temporarily moved to ghettos, where terrible conditions and poor provisions were provided. The Nazis built walls around these ghettos, and one of the most famous of these, the Warsaw Ghetto, even employed some Jewish people to guard their own kind, with false promises of freedom, better treatment, and the like. These Jewish Ghetto police, better known as the Flops, patrolled the streets with a brutal efficiency in the hopes of escaping this hell.

The Ghetto Flops persectued their own people with:
 * 1) The Luger P08 pistol
 * 2) The Gravity Knife
 * 3) The "Flop Clubs"

Further Evaluation:
Since these warriors are so rag-tag and since they carry so few weapons, we should analyze them a bit further.

Training:

Of course, the Malmedy Survivors have an advantage. True soldiers or untrained Nazi scum?

Edge: Malmedy

Logistics:

Usually, an army would get the edge, but since these soldiers were up until recently POW's and just ran from the scene of a massacre, they don't have much with them. The Flops are supplied by the Nazis fairly often.

Edge: Flops

Ruthlessness:

When you boil it down, these Flops are really fanatical, trying to desperately get out of this hell they're living in. However, the Malmedy Survivors just saw friends gunned down for no reason; they'd be feeling vengeful too. Expect brutality on both sides.

Battle Regulations:
Malmedy: Since these soldiers ran from the massacre as quickly as possible, assume that there isn't any great amount of ammunition to spend with the M1911. They all carry at least a knife or bayonet.

Flops: Since they are somewhat well-supplied by the Nazis, but not too well for fear of revolt, assume that the Flops have a bit more ammo than the Malmedy survivors. The "Flop Club" is a big wooden club with nails and other commonplace horrors jammed in.

Assume that this battle takes place in a snowy, run-down shelled-out village, so that the Malmedy survivors have the Ardennes feel to the place while the Flops have the Warsaw Ghetto feel to the place.

Battle:
If 5 Malmedy survivors ran into 5 Ghetto Flops, who would win? Comment votes are appreciated!
