The Last Words Of The Nazis Of The Nuremberg Executions

On the 16th October 1946 inside the gymnasium of Nuremberg Prison, the condemned Nazis of the Nuremberg Trial were taken to the gallows for their executions. John C Woods was the man who executed those such as Joachim von Ribbentrop, Wilhelm Keitel, Alfred Jodl and Julius Streicher. Some of the executions were very botched and did not go well, but whilst they were stood on the gallows they uttered their last words and final statements which were recorded. But some of these condemned Nazis went to their deaths more defiant than others.

No, I don’t have a weird idea of executions. The knot of the noose has to hang just forward the ear, so that when the prisoner drops through the trap and the rope tightens the knot is pressed against the head just forward of the ear. The knot is then tightened and the pressure of that breaks the neck of the prisoner, and death is almost instant. If the prisoner struggles and doesn’t die, then the hangman has to go down under the gallows and swing from the prisoners legs until the neck is broken. All in a day’ work?

Many people in this discussion don't realize. That you don't execute people properly for them, it's because you are serving dispassionate justice cleanly without pain or suffering as you are morally and ethically superior and don't believe in lowering yourself to their level to "beat" them. Justice isnt about vengeance, payback or revenge. It is about righting wrongs in a manner which society has deemed proper. By thinking their suffering was good shows the ignorance of your stance and lack of understanding. If you don't remain staunch in your moral stance when dispensing justice than you are a hypocrite and expecting others to live as you don't. If you have hate and vengeance in your heart there is no room for morals or true justice..... Only inflicting more pain and suffering and continuing a cycle of hate and dehumanization.

It's called PUNISHMENT.

Incorrect, Justice is about vengeance. Societal Vengeance. In this case that is all there was.

Sadly, less than 4%, were punished.

A friend of mine loaned me a book about one of the British and American teams who hunted lower level Nazi war criminals. They would kidnap the person, take them out into the woods, identify them, end them, and bury them. One of my uncles did not come home until mid 1946. He claimed they were kept overseas to give them time to 'calm down'. My sister and I suspect he may have been on one of those teams.

[@snidecommenter7117]

Oh, he had 'value'. So the American powers-that-be overlooked his transgressions. So I consider them to be complicit in his war crimes.

That is abysmally awful 😖 That's a crying shame, a sin before God to let them get away like that.

Victors' justice. A Tribunal specially created, with no proper jurisdiction over what happened in the relevant countries at the relevant times. At least one of the charges -'waging aggressive war' was not at the relevant time an offence known to the law. Nor was the nebulous 'conspiracy' charge. That leaves the war crimes and crimes against humanity charges. But at least some of the condemned were not guilty of those, notably Julius Streicher. A proper analysis of these trials, which one never sees, would turn up some very uncomfortable conclusions.

[@georgemargaritis2392]

Come to your senses, dude... We speak of such crimes that the world has never seen before.

[@keithad6485]

I agree. Any first year law student can see the trials were blatantly unfair and would have been overturned on appeal on the ground of the defendant being convicted after an unfair trial in a normal criminal justice process in USA or England. To me it was a Western version of the Soviet show trials of the 1930s. I am not saying these German defendants were innocent, but they ought to have been given the benefit of Western justice.

@@georgemargaritis2392 Though I suspect some or most of the Nuremberg defendants deserved to be tried for crimes, I remain unconvinced that all tried were guilty of war crimes. Nuremberg was simply a show trial. Churchill himself wanted to use chemical warfare against German armed forces in the later stage of the war, this would have been a war crime. His generals talked him out of it. That Churchill approved of mass bombing of civilian areas such as Dresden, has war crimes written all over it. Yet, Churchill was on the side of the victors so not tried. Germans are not alone in wartime humanity. None of the major protagonists in WW2 conducted themselveself without some shameful events.
