He actually didn’t. He lied about being an executioner and was so incompetent that he botched a dozen of the American soldiers he was tasked with hanging prior to being assigned at Nuremberg.

2:30 Hangman Woods didn’t miscalculate the drops, he gave everyone the same standard 6 foot drop. Hence “standard” drop as opposed to the British “long drop” used by hangmen such as Albert Pierrepoint, who _did_ calculate a drop dependent on condemned’s height, weight, physique and neck thickness.
8:19 As he reached the platform, Streicher cried out, 'Now i go to God.' He was pushed the last two steps to the mortal spot beneath the hangman's rope. The rope was being held back against a wooden rail by the hangman. Streicher was swung suddenly to face the witnesses and glared at them. Suddenly he screamed, 'Purim Fest 1946.' [Purim is a Jewish holiday celebrated in the spring, commemorating the execution of Haman, ancient persecutor of the Jews described in the Old Testament.] The American officer standing at the scaffold said, 'Ask the man if he has any last words.' When the interpreter had translated, Streicher shouted, 'The Bolsheviks will hang you one day.' When the black hood was raised over his head, Streicher's muffled voice could be heard to say, 'Adele, my dear wife.' At that instant the trap opened with a loud bang. He went down kicking. When the rope snapped taut with the body swinging wildly, groans could be heard from within the concealed interior of the scaffold. Finally, the hangman, who had descended from the gallows platform, lifted the black canvas curtain and went inside. Something happened that put a stop to the groans and brought the rope to a standstill. After it was over I was not in the mood to ask what he did, but I assume that he grabbed the swinging body of and pulled down on it. We were all of the opinion that Streicher had strangled. law2.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/nurembergNurembergNews10_16_46.html

I still dont really get Ribbontrop's death. Maybe Im missing something, but it seemed like he just did his job in foreign policy... someone correct me to see
Quote from Wikipedia here because I dont feel like writing it myself: "Ribbentrop was a defendant at the Nuremberg trials. The Allies' International Military Tribunal convicted him on four counts: crimes against peace, deliberately planning a war of aggression, committing war crimes, and crimes against humanity. According to the judgment, Ribbentrop was **actively involved in planning the Anschluss, as well as the invasions of Czechoslovakia and Poland.** He was also deeply involved in the "final solution"; **as early as 1942 he had ordered German diplomats in Axis countries to hasten the process of sending Jews to death camps** in the east. **He supported the lynching of Allied airmen shot down over Germany**, and **helped to cover up the 1945 murder of Major-General Gustave Mesny**, a French officer being held as a prisoner of war. He was held **directly responsible for atrocities which took place in Denmark and Vichy France, since the top officials in those two occupied countries reported to him.** Ribbentrop claimed that Hitler made all the important decisions himself, and that he had been deceived by Hitler's repeated claims of only wanting peace. The Tribunal rejected this argument, saying that **given how closely involved Ribbentrop was with the execution of the war, "he could not have remained unaware of the aggressive nature of Hitler's actions."**
Same reason for which they executed Tariq Aziz, Iraq’s foreign minister during Saddam Hussein era. Foreign ministers know the truth because they hold diplomatic talks at the highest levels. It’s dangerous to keep them alive if you won the war and want to present your own version as the truth.
Did not one of the condemned just before having the hood put over him whisper to one of the chaplain's, '' I will see you again '' in a sinister manner.
When asked if he had any last words, “Ribbentrop responded: ‘I place all my confidence in the Lamb who made atonement for my sins, may God have mercy on my soul.’ Then he turned to Gerecke and said, ‘I’ll see you again.’ The black hood was pulled over his face." Not seeing the sinister.

Compared 2 executions supervised by Pierrepont, they were botched. His record was like 10 seconds from entering 2 death. Of course its possible this was deliberate
@@ytcensorhack1876 Yeah I mean one of two might have been a mistake, with so many its clear they were at least indifferent to the outcome if not intentional. Which to be clear is really funny.
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? If you think they were badly treated, then don’t get me started about the Japanese …
This is done very often in war. It basically means you can obtain evidence through any means. For example, if I enter your home without a warrant, and find the murder weapon in your closet, it’s inadmissible in court. The evidence itself was obviously STAGGERING. The Third Reich documented its atrocities, and the accused were all well-known and well-documented figures.
It's irrelevant because we know what they did. Are you guys really trying to argue that a fair trial would have found any of these men innocent? You're ignorant.
@sasin2715 You know. It's literally only one click away. He absolutely did say that. It is very well documented, and he mysteriously died shortly after. Why would you blatantly lie and say he did not say what history very clearly record3d as fact? Why?
@sasin2715 He witnessed it all first hand. I think he's very credible in that regard. Especially his mysterious death shortly after the quote. That verifies his word to me. If there's anything censorship has taught me, it's that usually it's the truth is what is censored.
@@prestigeworldwide2632 He was also a big anti-semite and anti-communist. No wonder he said what he said. Also, wasn't he the guy who slapped a shell-shocked soldier and blamed the condition on Jews?

Here is the thing I’m German Russian American about only 20 generals or prison camp officials were executed the rest of the Germans were able to either escape to Brazil or Argentina or they were able to blend back into German society
Not only did the executioner know exactly what he was doing but in the book Nuremberg The Last Battle the nazi generals were tortured along with their family members.
They're literally the 3rd largest economy in the world, going from being a bombed-out split-apart ruin to being the big dog in Europe once more, they seem to be doing great to me.
Yes it was fair. Conducted in a properly ordered and convened Court of Law before judges from several nations. All the accused were represented and had recourse to any witnesses and evidence they desired. Given the nature of the crimes and there being little doubt of guilt it is no surprise many faced the death penalty. I mean ,when Ernst Kaltenbrunner seriously calls the commandant of Auschwitz as a defence witness things are pretty hopeless. There were some miscarriages the other way. How Albert Speer did not swing is beyond me.
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.
One if the things Stryker screamed, according to a Time Magazine reporter present was "Purim 1948!" referencing the hanging of Hama's sons in the book of Esther where a decree from the Persian king to kill all the Jews in the Persian empire was overturned. This holiday os called Purim.
Albert Pierrepont was probably the most efficient and humane hangman at this time and probably of all time. He hung many of the SS Guards including the women. Pierrepont hung the youngest females first, because he believed them to be the most frightened. This was the 'measure ' of the man. Very interesting video. Thank you. 👍
Look at Hess smirking....unlike these unlucky bastards he was already picturing himself tending to vegetable garden, reading books and watching Dynasty and Dallas until he died peacefully an old man
He won the war and outlived Stalin who, by the way, had recently told Beria to get rid of him. He was part of the Politburo. It wasn't the pact that started the war, really. It was the naivete of the Russians to believe Hitler would've kept his word
Was it true that the MP's guarding the prisoners were all german military men that served during ww2 ,also who were they and who took all the uniforms and medals away from all the hi rning german NAZI's as well, after all it would be like doing the same with capurded hi raninking allies military officers so to speak?
Inside the courtroom and inside the prison for much, but not all, of the first iteration of these so-called trials, the prisoners were guarded by U.S. MPs from the 1st Infantry Division; you’ll notice a shield on the side of their white helmets with a “1” inside the shield. I knew one of these guards - he had stories, but told them only after drinking large quantities of alcohol. He was not happy about any of that shit, unlike so many people in this comments section.
They were mainly Estonians who had been conscripted into the German army when Estonia was occupied. After WW2 Estonia was in turn occupied by the Soviets and they couldn't go back as they were considered collaborators who would most certainly be executed upon return.
@@laalki80unscientific? Nazi Germans who were in the sciences all lived after WW2 in the US and USSR lol they literally started the Cold War because of Nazi advances in science and technology.

To say something like that is very ignorant
Why were these executions exactly at 2am and not during normal hours?

Maybe it's not a coincidence that everyone denied crimes that "they didn't know about".
Or maybe it was party propaganda to deny knowledge of the travesties. And maybe it's human nature to lie to present yourself as innocent.

"botched" 😂😂😂 my man John C Woods knew what he was doing.

Botched executions? I think not, you have a weird idea of what an execution is. None of the condemned lived, none. So how was it botched?
Compared 2 executions supervised by Pierrepont, they were botched. His record was like 10 seconds from entering 2 death. Of course its possible this was deliberate
Actually i looked it up, Pierrepont's record was 12 seconds from entering the chamber
@@ytcensorhack1876 Yeah I mean one of two might have been a mistake, with so many its clear they were at least indifferent to the outcome if not intentional. Which to be clear is really funny.
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?
If you think they were badly treated, then don’t get me started about the Japanese …
I suspect nothing here was botched ..and rightly so.

@Based_Gigachad_001 context is important.
Article 19 of the Nuremberg trial states: The Tribunal shall not be bound by technical rules of evidence.
This is done very often in war. It basically means you can obtain evidence through any means.
For example, if I enter your home without a warrant, and find the murder weapon in your closet, it’s inadmissible in court.
The evidence itself was obviously STAGGERING. The Third Reich documented its atrocities, and the accused were all well-known and well-documented figures.

@@71ibanezdo you think what happened to the people they killed was fair
Whoever wins any war gets to decide what "fair" is.
Yes it was fair. Conducted in a properly ordered and convened Court of Law before judges from several nations. All the accused were represented and had recourse to any witnesses and evidence they desired.
Given the nature of the crimes and there being little doubt of guilt it is no surprise many faced the death penalty.
I mean ,when Ernst Kaltenbrunner seriously calls the commandant of Auschwitz as a defence witness things are pretty hopeless.
There were some miscarriages the other way. How Albert Speer did not swing is beyond me.
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.
Lmao
It's called PUNISHMENT.
Tell that to 6 million jews
Incorrect, Justice is about vengeance. Societal Vengeance. In this case that is all there was.
I get the principle, but it doesn’t mean I feel bad for them any.
One if the things Stryker screamed, according to a Time Magazine reporter present was "Purim 1948!" referencing the hanging of Hama's sons in the book of Esther where a decree from the Persian king to kill all the Jews in the Persian empire was overturned. This holiday os called Purim.

Albert Pierrepont was probably the most efficient and humane hangman at this time and probably of all time.
He hung many of the SS Guards including the women.
Pierrepont hung the youngest females first, because he believed them to be the most frightened.
This was the 'measure ' of the man.
Very interesting video.

Yes the trials were guarded by former german soldiers. At least outside the court rooms
Inside the courtroom and inside the prison for much, but not all, of the first iteration of these so-called trials, the prisoners were guarded by U.S. MPs from the 1st Infantry Division; you’ll notice a shield on the side of their white helmets with a “1” inside the shield. I knew one of these guards - he had stories, but told them only after drinking large quantities of alcohol. He was not happy about any of that shit, unlike so many people in this comments section.
They were mainly Estonians who had been conscripted into the German army when Estonia was occupied. After WW2 Estonia was in turn occupied by the Soviets and they couldn't go back as they were considered collaborators who would most certainly be executed upon return.
I find it quite revealing that the media man was the one who was the most vitriolic before his death
