Fascinating page. When they hauled in Kramer, a British officer said, "I hope you die slowly."

But Albert Pierrepoint was a superb executioner, so I'm sure Kramer died quickly. Probably faster than Ribbentrop and his cronies at the hands of Master Sergeant John Wood.

They should have had Pierrepoint brought to Nuremberg.

The actual methods of hanging were different between the UK and US. See:
