Soldiers who hanged 10 high-ranking Nazi officials: the biggest regret was the missing of Hermann Goering John F. Kennedy. C. Woods, Army Sergeant Major, the only U.S. strangulation division in the European theater. A total of 12 senior Nazi officials were sentenced to death by hanging by the International Military Tribunal. These Nazi war criminals did not want to be hanged, and shooting was the way they thought it was a dignified way to die. Below, let's look at the remaining 10 war criminals, the process of hanging. Of course, Woods had no interest in these, and he strictly implemented the established plan and pulled the organs. Having gone to the gallows, all the justifications were in vain, and Woods executed him. The hanging was carried out until 2:45 a.m., when Woods completed his mission.
