The Botched Hanging Execution of Amon Goeth

Magenta · #1 05-11-2009, 08:04 PM

After the war, the Supreme National Tribunal of Poland at Kraków found Goeth guilty of murdering tens of thousands of people. He was hanged on September 13, 1946, aged 37, not far from the former site of the Płaszów camp. At his execution, Goeth's hands were tied behind his back. The executioner two times miscalculated the length of rope necessary to hang Goeth, and it was only on the third attempt that the execution was successful.

Gee, poor guy.

It actually must have been a relief to him the third time when it worked. I mean how many times can you set up for that and not go crazy eventually.

He deserved it, but then again so did a lot of guys who never saw the noose.

that hanging looks like it would've been via asphyxiation and not snapping his neck... cool clip

imagine thinking "this will be quick and painless" then you end up getting hung with two sprained ankles

i'd probably start talking shit to them after the first try

Apparently his last words were "Heil Hitler" so I'm assuming he probably didn't really give a damn!!!
