angie999 is an unknown quantity at this point
It just occurred to me to comment about the five Germans hanged that the man they killed, being age 35, was old enough for his formative years to be before the Nazis came to power, so maybe he could think for himself, whereas the five would be aged eight to ten in 1933 and, therefore, went through the full HJ indoctrination process.
