The RUTHLESS Executions Of The Nuremberg Trials - Full WW2 Documentary

Following the Second World War, there was a high profile war crimes trial that sentenced to death the final members of Hitler's Nazi government. The Nuremberg Trials saw Hermann Göring, Rudolf Hess and the last remaining members of Hitler's hierarchy accused of war crimes trials, crimes against humanity and being responsible for the horrors of the concentration camps. But the Nuremberg executions did not go well at all, as they were botched by the American executioner John C Woods.
The Nuremberg executions condemned the men who were responsible for the Second World War to death, but a number were performed poorly. The trapdoor was too small, and also the executioner was considered brutal. However in this video, we look at the stories of the condemned defendants and what they did during the Second World War and what they were guilty of.
Join us today as we look at, 'The Executions Of The Nuremberg Trials - Full WW2 Documentary.'

Who was very formative With jolly Herman . 😊 Doing him favors that wasn't afforded to the rest .So Herman took special interest in the lt. I've head that Herman ask him if he could possibly bring him several fountain 🖋 pens because Herman was supposedly writing ✍️ his memories down and preparing his testimony to use at his hearing ..Herman was very long-winded with his personal stories .etc So I was told by my uncle Leroy that someone one slipped Herman a pen with a cyanide capsule inside where the ink well was supposed to be .I'm not sure if the Lt. Was aware of this ? But Herman committed suicide just a few days before he was to meet the Hangman ?? AT NUREMBERG TRIALS...! My uncle was an excellent boxer and a golden glove champion 🏆 The court house 🏠 was a gym 🏋️‍♀️ and a recreation center for the 3rd Army ,before being converted into a court house for the trials .General Patton loved boxing .And would often visit the gym. And that's how my uncle became a favorite of the General .HE ENLISTED my uncle as his mail carrier ..My uncle even fought The brown Bomber Joe Lewis in a USO expo . fight to raise war bonds ..for the war efforts .

[@kddicks5115]

I believe they used a "short drop" technique, which usually does result in strangling, rather than the "long drop" which causes the break in the neck/ spinal cord.

[@TheGoodShipBlue]

It was clearly intentional, the executioner is an alleged sadist. Not that I mind terribly these monsters met their fates in a fittingly cruel manner.

[@BlackPlanet-wr3ck]

Be cautious about labelling anyone. Given a choice between running a concentration camp or being a resident at it, I doubt you'd jump into a set of striped pajamas.

[@nickscurvy8635]

Short drop isnt a death by "strangulation". That is to say, the restriction of the airways is not the primary cause of death in short drop suspension hanging. In su1cides, partial suspension hanging is common, which causes death without blocking the airways. What causes death is the rapid loss of blood due to the arteries and veins in the neck being compressed. Unconsciousness is induced very rapidly with this method. A person is conscious for 10-30 seconds, and lose full awareness of what's going on within seconds. The most common descriptions of the feelings of hanging as described by people who survived su1cide usually note that the most noticeable and intense feeling is the feeling of pressure in the head, rather than a feeling of strangulation. Indeed, a person loses consciousness before co2 levels rise throughout the body enough to induce the panic and discomfort associated with strangulation. This might be tmi, or much more than asked. Im just saying that the executions, even if botched, unless they were botched in a very specific way, were not really strangulations of the condemned. And even if the executions were botched, they were relatively humane(far more humane than the deaths they are responsible for).

[@Nekulturny]

John C Woods is a rather interesting guy. He was sent home by the navy for mental problems. He then took up with the US army. When a volunteer hangman was needed for Nuremberg, Woods claimed he was responsible for 4 hangings and had experience in texas and Oklahoma. It was later discovered that hanging had been abandoned for the electric chair in both states during Woods lifetime, the last hanging having taken place when he was 10. He also hung a number of US soldiers. Half who suffered botched hangings. He had no fuckin idea what he was doing, and it showed. How the U.S didnt atleast look into his claims and rather just accepted them at his word is astounding. He died just 6 years later. Accidentally electricuting himself. Hes more or a less a big dumb, Compulsive lying weirdo. But we applaud him as he hanged worse than himself.

Interesting documentary containing some information I didn't know. One question though, and this isn't a complaint but just a curiosity. Is this narrated by an AI, or is that a real person speaking? The rising syllables before pauses in, or at the end of, sentences, sounds to, my American ear, like the British equivalent of, a "Valley Girl" accent, but without the blonde idioms. Otherwise the the tone of voice is somewhat flat and the timing of the delivery is somewhat robotic rhythmically. Nonetheless it is very clear and easy to understand! Because of hearing challenges I normally enable subtitles but it wasn't necessary for this video.

We don't make our enemies suffer unnecessarily through negligence or vindictiveness. For what it's worth, I fully understand why people would feel the way they do about Woods.

[@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980]

If they didn't give them a trail then people would have been able later to claim. That the Allies were no better than the Nazi's. But worse as they were also hypocrites. Giving them a trail set a standard for all future War Crime trails & for civilisation itself.

[@DeansDiscourse]

Which is precisely why it was the morally correct thing to do. Unlike the Nazis we believe in the rule of law and the right to present a defence against accusations against you. We don’t believe in murdering people on suspicions of criminality but on the confirmation of their personal responsibility for the events. The Nuremberg trials accomplished this goal. Because of the Nuremberg trials, we know the scope and extent of these men’s responsibility for the atrocities that unfolded, we proved that they were willing and active participants in one of the worst crimes in human history. We allowed them to present their best arguments for why they thought the evidence did not support the prosecutions case. Even after calling double the defence witnesses and having better understanding of the records in question, the evidence, much of it written in their own handwriting, was damning on the merits. In the words of the chief prosecutor at Nuremberg Justice Robert H. Jackson: “That four great nations flushed with victory and stung with injury, stay the hand of vengeance and voluntarily submit their captive enemies to the judgment of the law is one of the most significant tributes that Power has ever paid to Reason.” The Nuremberg trials and their conclusion are a testament to our moral superiority over nazism and this is the reason they will go down m as one of the greatest trials in human history.

Actually, the world wanted to see it. And those victims deserve to have the perpetrators put on trial. You think the victims don't matter? That their justice doesn't matter? Some of the victims families appreciated the Nuremberg trials. You would think that with the education provided to folks nowadays that you would understand more than one way of considering it.

[@loditx7706]

@@siggyretburns7523 Actually, Hitler lost the war before he started it. He had promised his generals that he wouldn’t start an offensive war before some future date, maybe 1945, because they knew it would take years to build all the equipment (planes,etc.) necessary to fight a war of conquest. Hitler jumped the gun by invading Poland much before the promised deadline. Then Göering announced to Hitler that Britain could be defeated and forced to surrender entirely through bombing by the Luftwaffe, obviously not correct there. Hitler was so eager to wage war against Russia he abandoned Britain for the most part, (continued aerial assaults lost aircraft that could not be replaced and more importantly experienced pilots, with no ability to replace them, either.) During the failed conquest of Russia, specifically the siege of Stalingrad, where the 6th army of the Wehrmacht, were cut off with no way to be resupplied, Göering rashly promised that his Luftwaffe could fly in the 500 tons of supplies the army would need daily. They rarely supplied enough to approach even the double digits of what was needed. Göering continued to live lavishly and to maintain his drug abuse, losing all Hitler’s respect and trust. He might have been an ace as a pilot, but he was a bust as a commander and strategist. I do not understand your reference to Göering and Normandy. Göering had no role in the Allied invasion at Normandy, especially since the Luftwaffe played a minor role at best during the invasion.

A wire noose, with nothing more than an eyelet that the wire ran through… It was designed to cause a long and painful death. I suppose if you had been a prisoner in a concentration camp That would suffice that their punishment met their crime. Yet, not many could sit and watch for around 30 minutes as they would jerk around and slowly die. Hence, it was referred to as the "Spandau Ballet" based on the dance like movement of the strangling person's jerky feet movements. I found that out after looking up the band with the same name... I always felt that it would have been more appropriate as a Death/Doom metal band name and not for a band whose top hit was "True."
