Catling claimed that they were not properly tied, so that some hit the platform with their heads as they went down and their noses were torn off.” Although the “U.S. Army denied his story”, photographs of some of the deceased, such as Wilhelm Frick and Wilhelm Keitel, clearly displayed “battered and bloody faces.”
In the case of Julius Streicher, reporter Howard K. Smith wrote that the initial drop was not fatal, and that “witnesses could hear him groaning”, upon which “Woods came down from the platform and disappeared behind the black curtain that concealed the dying man. Abruptly the groans ceased and the rope stopped moving.
According to Lieutenant Stanley Tilles, who was charged with co-ordinating the hangings at Nuremberg, “Woods had deliberately placed the coils of Streicher’s noose off-center” to ensure that he would not experience a quick death. Smith believed that “Woods hated Germans”, and that “a small smile cross[ed] his lips as he pulled the hang-man’s handle.”

Not only is Shadows From The Walls of Death the most metal name I’ve ever heard for a book:
“The book itself contains a dangerous concentration of arsenic compounds. The successful campaign against arsenical wallpapers urged by the book, along with the dangerous amount of the poison contained in the volume has led to the destruction of the vast majority of its original print run.”
