Yes, at least the general circumstances involving US 3rd Armored Division troops, after Gen. Rose was killed 3 weeks before.
It has been discussed a couple time here :

Thanks very much for the information, I was statined at Barker Barracks (Panzer Kasene) Paderborn in the 1960s and was told of the shooting of SS prisoners by US Troops, by a German vet. I thought at the time this was unlikely but the web opens up a lot things that were not in the open at the time,
