Might I suggest you read "Executioner Pierrepoint", Albert Pierrepoint's autobiography. You would learn that Pierrepoint never met the condemned at an execution in Britain before entering the cell to strap the prisoner's arms and lead him into the gallows chamber. He would observe the prisoner either while he was exercising or through a spy hole in the cell door. The prisoner would be weighed and measured by the prison, not the executioner, and the information given to the hangman. Pierrepoint would chalk a T not an X on the trapdoor marking where the prisoner's feet should be, and he always used a white cap not a black one. The white cap was traditional in Britain at all executions. The prisoner was not identified before the execution except in Scotland where he would be asked his name. Everyone knew who he was. The only time Pierrepoint met the condemned before the execution and arranged the weighing and measuring was when he was hanging some German war criminals, such as those from Belsen, but these executions were in Germany and other European countries, not Britain.
@@sgtfoxhound Did you know that there was never actually a 'last' hangman? The two last executions carried out in the UK were done simultaneously, at two separate prisons, by two separate executioners. This was done to ensure that no-one could claim to be the last hangman. I've got volumes on UK executioners - an interesting insight into society through the years. Have a look at 'A Hangman's Tale' - written by Syd Dernley, who often assisted Pierrpoint.
My mother told us her and her 2 sisters used to listen to Lord Haw Haw - they weren't supposed to buy they did. She was only 12 yrs old but her sisters were older by ,2 and 3 yrs.
The condemned cell still shows warn flooring where the condemned had paced up and down. Also the gibbet is still there. Ive seen these things first hand having been a prisoner in HMP Wandsworth. They've kept the gibbet for obvious reasons.
Depends on the Allied country. The postwar Soviet Union held a large number of trials against the so-called “traitors to the Motherland and accomplices,” usually collaborators, spies, soldiers who defected to the other side during the war or one of Stalin's political enemies. Due to the secrecy of the Soviet and modern Russian regimes, the exact number of people who were executed is unknown, but is thought to number in the tens of thousands. In contrast, only three traitors have been executed in the U.S. since its founding. During WW2 itself, Soviet military tribunals convicted almost a million soldiers for various crimes, with about 135,000 of them executed.
Avery worst crime in my opinion is, he betrayed his mother and even himself since he is half Jewish. I mean what were you thinking dude he lost all his marbles in his echochamber head!!‽?
His grandmother was Jewish, the youtuber misread the wikipedia article. Amery's mother was a sister of Hamar Greenwood, the Liberal politician responsible for sending the Black and Tans to Ireland.
Pierrepoint did not use a black hood, he used a white hood as he is on record showing on multiple occassions. Please do your research a little more diligently. Pierrepoint would not meet the prisoner he would have the weight and height already and he would observe the prisoner in the exercise yard to then calculate the correct drop.
He often observed them in their cells secretly, too. He never dithered or delayed once they entered the condemned cell. Pierrepont took great pride in making the process as quick as possible to minimise the distress of the prisoner. He claimed his fastest execution was 7 seconds from opening the condemned prisoner's cell to opening the trapdoor.
It's an eternal choice: Sparta or Athens? Democracy or Dictatorship? In ancient times it was an open choice , in modern times its fixed by birth location with dire consequences (see Xenophon)
He applied for and obtained a British passport, which was still valid when he left for Germany. There were fine legal technicalities but the justices concluded that by getting this, he owed allegiance to Britain.
How's it all going in Merry England now? Didn't some British D-day veterans say years later that they wouldn't have bothered if they had known what Britain would turn into? One could argue that the traitors were a little more prescient than some British politicians at the time.
Shows you don't know the real reason why England had to defend your family's and other countries other wise you wouldn't be here nor your family so learn history and history politics.@TheFunkadelicFan
With a lot of people asking why was he hanged by the British, I would say do your research before throwing stones. Other countries have put to death people who were not their citizens. As most people were not around in the late 40's, never lived through the war and what went with it. It's impossible to judge by today's standards something that happened over 80 year's.
There's one adjective that sems to most describe this motley connection of traitors, and that is, Pathetic! Oswald Job was not German, so wouldn't his name be pronounced 'Iob' but Job?
That depends on the linguistics surrounding his name. Not too long ago, or an eternity depending on your age, the letter I also covered the sounds made by Y and J, as a remnant of the merger of Greek, Latin, and Etruscan in pronunciation. At the time certain words were spun off with using the new letters, words that had originally started with I now began with J, such as Jesus, Jehovah, and Job/job among others. It could be that this man's name retained the original pronunciation while undergoing the revised spelling. It is also possible, if not probable that it is being read incorrectly. Neither would surprise me.

Correct.
@@ahdoodeclair he was a bigger killer than the people he hung.

Why wasn't Edward visiting condemned as a traitor?
Do you mean Edward VI
This comment makes no sense 😂😂
EDWARD VI 1547-1553, You mean Edward VIII 1936
@wattyler2994 yes sorry my mistake
He actually was. But one can't execute the former king..
Pierrepont never met the condemned until the time, he got what he needed from condemneds medical file
After Pierrepoint had killed 434 people he said he was against capital punishment. Ha!
What happened to Allied prisoners of war who joined the Axis armies?
Depends on the Allied country.

'President Of the Third Reich' wtf!!!! make an actual effort
*Joyce was not a British subject and could not have been a traitor to Britain. His execution was a murder.*
Why did he work for the Nazis?
So a patriotic Irishman works for the Nazis? How does that work?
He was Irish, why was he working for the Nazis?
Correct
@@suemcgregor9248Because he agreed with them . Take a look at London or Dublin now

Sorry I can't take any more of this narration. Bloody awful.
He wasn’t British so how come he was executed by British?
The British knew they could get away with murder.

He applied for and obtained a British passport, which was still valid when he left for Germany. There were fine legal technicalities but the justices concluded that by getting this, he owed allegiance to Britain.
@@andrewwarmington Are you saying he actually travelled internationally using a British passport?
He was a British Lord.
Why do you associate anti communism along with these guys. It gives the impression you find being anti-communist as a bad thing.
I think because they were Anti-Communist, they were then swayed to be a fascist. It kinda shows they were weak minded to be swayed to be a Fascist.
How's it all going in Merry England now? Didn't some British D-day veterans say years later that they wouldn't have bothered if they had known what Britain would turn into? One could argue that the traitors were a little more prescient than some British politicians at the time.
Britain was on the wrong side in the war. They should have fought with Germany against Russia.
If you're US American, that claim is very true for your own country! US veterans have made very similar statements about the USA.

Blaire & Starmer ??
William Joyce was not a traitor, how could he be! he was born in the USA and his family were from Ireland, So he ws not British!!
He held a British Passport, therefore had a duty of allegiance to Britain.
Ireland. Was part of England for centuries, so hevwas British
The british judges liked the death punisment more than the law. Therefore they lied and murdered!
So did they kill their wives or girlfriends as well as they did the same thing ?
Of course Not. Only nazis did that type of evil.
What about starmer!!!!!!
Starmer's already dead. Well, his soul is, anyway.
