Google ‘Albert Pierrepoint’ if you want to learn a little about the British hangman for the Nuremberg Trials. I saw a movie on him years ago…..strange times indeed.
In 1950 my dad was a battalion commander in Gelnhausen, Germany, and toward the end of his tour he was a member of the court in a general court-martial, and it was held in the same courtroom as the Nurnberg trials [sorry about the missing umlaut on the ‘u’.]
The Nuremburg trials were cut short since to continue them would embarrass both the Americans and Soviets since both had recruited many ex-Nazis. Our top missile scientist Wernher Von Braun was an avowed Nazi.
