Date of Death of Franz Strasser[edit]

According to the article about Franz Strasser he already died in 1945. I just saw that the picture here states a different date and thought I'd mention it. See the talk section of the Franz Strasser article. Ception (talk) 23:30, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like this picture does not show Franz Strasser at all, but an unidentified war criminal. See here and here for a more detailed discussion. I will try to change the caption of the picture in this article. Ception (talk) 14:41, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nose job[edit]

I've just removed the section starting: "There is evidence suggesting that there might be superior alternatives if there were sufficient interest..."

A couple of reasons: (1) There was surprise that the hanging was still a success even though the noose slipped up to the nose - but no suggestion that it was "superior"; (2) The para with "There is at least some evidence..." in it includes none, and is pure speculation; (3) "Presumably the upper noose held the lower one in place to ensure a perfect hangman's fracture" is not only also pure speculation, but "held the lower one in place" doesn't sound anything like a superior alternative - just keeping things tidy. (From memory, Pierrepoint wrote that he normally snugged a leather washer up tight against the knot - this may have been something that he did only after that nose incident). - Snori (talk) 01:21, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sources[edit]

On the issue of whether drop hanging causes immediate unconsciousness, more sources need to be found. Assuming completely successful fracturing of the spine, I believe unconsciousness is very rapid due to blood pressure drop, but cannot find a decent source on that. There are sources, one from a medical journal, but does not address the issue directly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nelson21101805 (talk • contribs) 15:37, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Mass execution vs group execution[edit]

I changed one word about the Serbian hangings and it ignites a mini edit ward? Why? If a small group of people are hanged, it's a group; it's not a mass hanging. Tondelleo Schwarzkopf (talk) 13:45, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
