Executions of Nazi criminals in Poland

[Bonobo]

After the war, Poland saw a few public executions of German and other mass murderers (also Poles). E.g., the one in Gdańsk was witnessed by 150.000 people when 11 members of the nearby death camp`s staff were hanged for their crimes, including 5 women. The hanging was deliberately cruel so that death came slowly, sometimes the victims` agony lasted even a dozen minutes. The crowd cheered and jeered. Loops were tied on victims` necks by former camp mates who had survived the war and Nazi bestiality. It happened in 1946.

But the Germans did not learn there lesson from this, and still want to rule the world.

I was also amazed to read about it. I thought such lynch-style executions were typical of America of old times.
A perfect example of the brutality of war: it makes ALL people turn into beasts sooner or later.
