About this Exploration: "I hanged those ten Nazis... and I am proud of it... I wasn't nervous.... A fellow can't afford to have nerves in this business.... I want to put in a good word for those G.I.s who helped me... they did swell.... I am trying to get [them] a promotion.... The way I look at this hanging job, somebody has to do it. I got into it kind of by accident, years ago in the States...." A quote from hangman Woods after carrying out the executions of ten convicted German Main War Criminals at the Nuremberg Trials. ![]() Though most online reports claim his grave remains unknown, he is buried at the Toronto Cemetery. |
