Propaganda the nazis and the germans are not the only people to do wild ass shit there just the only ones that get to be the scapegoat for evil deed s against humanity. America wiped out the whole damn near the whole Native population and took there land at the same time they enslaved and bred and worked to death 185 million africans. Its funny how the U.S.A gets a pass on its evil deeds. P.S 2 million more killed in Iraq and Afganistan. You can hate me now.
the actual execution chamber didn't look any thing like that in real life. It was just a room at the end of a long corridor in which all the prisoners were confined in cells. Nearly all of them could hear the snap of the rope, before it was their turn.
@callipposhots What? The excution chamber was EXACTLY like it is in the film. The prisoners cell was roughly 10 feet from the rope but they never knew. The door to the chamber was often concealed with a wardrobe which was slid aside upon the hangmans entry to the condemned cell. The whole process from entry to death was a little over 11 seconds. End of a corridor? Hear the snap of the rope? You need to do some research and reading pal.
@8524frank Do you even know who Irma Grese was? She was 22, not 21, when she was hanged. She didn't start working in the camps till she was 19 and didn't move to Auschwitz till she was 20. The "alleged crimes", as you call them, she committed included murder, torture, releasing half starved dogs on prisoners, making lamp shades out of human skin and kicking children to death. Get your facts right before you start mouthing off, dickhead.
Menschen die ihre Pflicht getan haben für Deutschland so erbärmlich hingeschlachtet von den Judenfreunden? Wie kann unsere Nation das einfach so ertragen??? SIEG HEIL!
Dirty English bastards...You were not able to compete with us on the battlefield,you jewish bastards...So you had to keep up with our heroes afterwards....COWARDS!!!! We will kill you soon...
also couple of civilians were included in the 11 (not 13, more dramatic license) executed on that day at hamelin prison. Those are the ones dropping in suits, not uniforms.
they hanged the women singly because the first victim hooded (by the hangman) and then shackled by the legs (by the assistant), would have to wait in massive trepidation for the other one to get sorted. With the men, it was felt they could afford it.
1:14 i wonder if she had heard of pierrepoint when working in the camps at Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen.?.and held him up as some kind of hero cause of the sadistic professionalism he pursed. the narrative of her comment sounded like she was accusing him of being a traitor.
Im a history major and i've seen several dozen pictures of Ms. Grese from this point in here life...and she was FAR uglier than the actress portrayed here. I can understand why they did this because it's the movies and all...but she really was a terrible person. It's Germans like her who actually carried out Hitlers dreams and ideas.
@Llama212ify Unless I am mistaken (and I don't think I am), Irma Grese did not speak English. There was a German translator at the "weight in" and a slightly humorous exchange concerning her age.
oh according to an interview for a radio station albert did in the 70s the 13th man was stretchered out. They wrapped the body in waterproofs and buried it.
from what i understand woods was an executioner before the war, he didnt have juristiction to hang people in the uk which is why the us army hired tom pierrepoint for executions on british soil, so im guessing by the time nuremburg came about woods was very out of practice.
I was wondering if anyone noticed that the gallows are only 4 ft above the concrete floor inside the warehouse,what did they do? dig a large hole under the trap door to let the prisoner's neck snap at the end of the rope,take a look for yourself,its right there in frint of you.
In reality, those hangings were carried out in an execution suite built into one of the prison wings by the Royal Engineers, so would have looked more or less like the executions in Britain you see throughout the film.
@DeepSixed300 That is very true and it is a little odd that the film used this very strange looking gallows (certainly less than the necessary 10 feet clearance).
Nearly all of my family were massacred by the Nazis. I don't have a problem envisioning any one of those monsters strangling at the end of a rope. As a matter of fact, I rather like the idea.
its so odd how he thinks that by dying they regain their innocence. He talks about them as if they're still alive. As if he has transformed them, not destroyed them.
A sentence of death by definition, means just that. Once the convicted has undergone the punishment imposed by the court, they are deemed to have 'served' their sentence.
ohh!!! we brits love a good hanging.95 percent of hangings were justified,the 5 percent innocent,justified the abolition,one wrong conviction is 1 too many
There are still (statistatically) scores of people alive who have the tatoo numbers of the camps on their arms or suffered directly at the handsof Grese or Kramer some sixty five years ago in Belsen. Those thirtreen who were hanged got off lightly, but it was all justice could do. So, why does this recreation of the events create so damn much compassion for those Nazi sadists ?
Too bad. The Death Penalty was the law at the time, and as these evil criminals chose to do what they did, they have only themselves to blame for their situation. Pierrepoint was just doing his job, he was just the executioner. Not the judge and jury too, he didn't sentence them.
A gentleman gives a person exactly what they deserve, This is exactly what they deserved and he gave them death that was quick! He was A TRUE Gentleman!
...and Pierrepoint did 13 in one day as well, so what's your point? And as for Woods, well I don't think anyone can hold him up as either efficient or professional...
@DeepSixed300 Prior to Nuremburg, STG Wood had done dozens of hangings. No one complained before, so he probably took that as a sign to keep on the way he had been. When some weak sisters complained about the Nuremburg Hangings, everyone (the US Army included) threw him under the bus. I REITERATE - NO SYMPATHY!!!
@wardenphil Some of the Nuremburg hangings did not go well. In defense of Woods, he was obliged to use the American style hangman noose, the 5 foot drop, and a gallows that had a trap door too narrow for some of the prisoners. At least one busted his head on the drop (according to reports). Woods was in a bad situation.
Propaganda the nazis and the germans are not the only people to do wild ass shit there just the only ones that get to be the scapegoat for evil deed s against humanity.
