		Pierrepoint's pride in his position as Britain's Chief Executioner was insulted, and he resigned.

		Beyond the clinical guidelines of how to efficiently hang a prisoner, the critical element was the conduct of the hangman himself, and it was Albert Pierrepoint who was considered in the late 1930s to uphold the standard of "complete reticence".
		New additions to the official list of executioners were told that they would be contacted if needed - and offering to carry out a specific execution would result in them being struck off the list.

	Hitler's Willing Executioners: A Review
		Goldhagen crushes the conventional interpretation under an avalanche of documentary data and argues that the destruction of European Jewry was a predictable consequence of Germany's widespread and virulently homocidal antisemitism, which was a fixture of the German social landscape long before the fall of the Weimar Republic.
		Police battalions, auxiliary military units used to maintain order in occupied territory behind the lines, shot Jews by the hundreds of thousands; Goldhagen demonstrates that they were manned for the most part by utterly ordinary Germans who thought the shootings a difficult but unexceptional part of their duties.
		That list is long, and ranges from Slavic military auxiliaries who slaughtered Jews despite the fact that they themselves were regarded by Germans as "subhuman" to those elements of French society that shamefully collaborated in the collection and deportation of French Jews.

		This was probably because Tom had already received training from Henry in the art of execution, in a stable at the back of Henry's cottage.

		If you mean the Banshee Exarch's Executioner (it's a sword kind of like Darth Maul's), then I can tell you in the TT that it's a power weapon that gives +2 strength but takes up 2 hands.
		I read the Executioner does 6% less damage than the normal exarch's power sword, but attacks 33% faster.
		So, the effect is the opposite of TT (where you lose the offhand attack but gain strength) but it does make sense for a double-bladed sword, I guess.

		In a massively documented, carefully argued, and enormously researched effort that was in fact culled from his doctoral dissertation on the same subject, the author weaves together a stunning indictment of millions of Germans who, through their active participation and willing consent, helped in the achievement of the Nazis' so-called "Final Solution".
		Nor is it to deny that "Hitler's Willing Executioners" is a titanic work that has fundamentally changed the reading public's perception of both the Holocaust itself and of the German people during the reign of the Nazi regime.
		They may not have been the willing executioners Goldhagen claims them to be, but they certainly were un-indicted co-conspirators in the horrific deliberate campaign to disenfranchise and victimize the Jews.

		He is credited with having carried out 300 hangings in his career, although no precise figure has been verified, as some of these were in Ireland, Germany, Cyprus, and elsewhere.
		Albert Pierrepoint is often referred to as Britain's last hangman, but this is not true — executions continued until 13 August 1964 when Gwynne Owen Evans was hanged at 8.00 a.m.
		This incident in particular made Albert feel that hanging was no deterrent, particularly when most of his clients were those that had killed in the heat of the moment rather than premeditated or in furtherance of a robbery.

	Vintage Catalog \| Hitler's Willing Executioners by Daniel Jonah Goldhagen
		This groundbreaking international bestseller lays to rest many myths about the Holocaust: that Germans were ignorant of the mass destruction of Jews, that the killers were all SS men, and that those who slaughtered Jews did so reluctantly.
		Hitler's Willing Executioners provides conclusive evidence that the extermination of European Jewry engaged the energies and enthusiasm of tens of thousands of ordinary Germans.
		From mobile killing units, to the camps, to the death marches, Goldhagen shows how ordinary Germans, nurtured in a society where Jews were seen as unalterable evil and dangerous, willingly followed their beliefs to their logical conclusion.
