I feel like in comparison to other methods the guillotine seems pretty quick
True
It is.
Especially as before 1936 the preferred method of beheading in Germany was manually by axe.
It's quick, painless and very unlikely to fail and just maim. The Guillotine unlike electrocution or lethal injection cannot torture you, it either decapitates you or you just raise the blade again. As weird as it sounds it was the most efficient and human death penalty method.
Death by hanging is intended to break the executee's neck, killing them instantly. It didn't always do that though.
Firing Squads are supposed to aim for the heart, which would kill the executee instantly. Key word is supposed to.
The Youngest German resistance leader to be executed by guillotine was 17 year old Helmuth Hubener of Hamburg Germany. His family was notified of his execution on his mother's birthday.
what th😢
Weren’t they also charged for the execution?
So the allied terrorists killed a child. Rest in peace warrior, you stood no chance against the terrorists. 88

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MA !!!
RIP to the soldiers who suffered and passed away from this. Glad I was able to be early to learn about this. Thanks Simple History!
Pour a 4 for the homies if u mean it.
It looks absolutely barbaric to the observer, but the guillotine is actually quite human as far as methods of execution go.
What about the 20 seconds when you realize that you're now just your head?
@@axonice A parting gift...
@@axonice it's like 3 or 4 sec max.. often not even, once the brain loses access to oxygen, you go to sleep right away
untill you realise that death is not instant when the head is removed from the body
but more human than other methods
So long as the blade hits between the spine bones. I remember reading something back in highschool that if it hit bone you had a fairly low chance of actually being beheaded if the blade was light and dull.
Rest in peace to all the people suffering from the evils of war. This we pray, amen.
Prayer does nothing.
Amen brother.
@@Indy_Bendyok so? Wth leave ppl be.
@@Indy_BendyNot to you, maybe, but it does for us, let us do our thing
Amen
@@karpfenenjoyerhow many wars and subsequent deaths are due to religion?
Beheading in the Japanese army was something they had perfected as an art form during the invasion of China early in the war. They would have civilians sit on their knees in a row and see which soldier could cut them all as fast as possible with as few swings as possible. It was like a game to them, with scorecards like baseball.
That story is so wild it sounds like jewish fantasy, but there is actual photographic evidence. The nonsense like human skin lampshades and wildly inflated concentration camp death numbers pales in comparison to what the japanese actually did.
What you just described was absolutely barbaric and uncivilized. The Imperial Japanese military in World War II were thugs in every aspect of the word.
War was a nightmare for everyone, then and now. Life can be cruel, even during war.
I sometimes think war isn’t nightmare for those who wage it until they loose.
"War's tragedy is that it uses man's best to do man's worst." - Harry Emerson Fosdick
2:18 I have to correct you on this one: The members of the white rose weren't executed at Berlin Plötzensee, but at Munich Stadelheim. Also, the execution took place the same day as the Volksgerichtsholf sentenced them to death.
Furthermore, you said before that every prison was equipped with a Fallbeil aka Guillotine. That's also not correct, only those who were designated as a central execution site for a certain district had one (like Munich Stadelheim, Berlin Plötzensee or after the annexation the Prison in Vienna)
Absolutely horrific deaths, really shows how twisted the human mind can be.
Yea but it also highlights how brave and selfless a human can be as they’d risk a horrible death to speak out against the atrocities of the ruling power.
Interesting timing. I just watched "Alone in Berlin" last night, about a guy whose only son died in the early stages of WWII, and he spends the next three years writing anti-Hitler postcards and leaving them in various places for people to pick up. The movie ends with him and his wife getting caught and guillotined. I wondered about that, I had no idea the Nazis guillotined people in WWII.
Sadly that was *very* accurate. The last time the guillotine would be (legally) used would be in 1977.

Garbage commie revolutionaries that started a Catholic genocide
that's British
You should make a video about Puyi. He was the last emperor of China
Once again great video Simple History, well done🎉
Nice video as always
I’m glad their animation has only gone up since their first videos. The attention to smaller details, better animated characters and details in the backdrops and background characters (different faces, equipment, facial features, clothing etc.) and not making each action a repetitive loop as much as they did before.
I love your channel keep up the great stuff
Hi there are two mistakes here: there wasn't a guillotine in every german prison, Johann Richard carried a portable one with him.
And thee Scholl siblings weren't executed in BerlinPlötzensee but in Munic Stadelheim
But great work anyway :)
Keep uploading the good stuff... Keep up 👍
Saw it being used in one of the biggest dutch movies about the second world war when i was younger. So thats how i knew they used them which i found quite interesting since it was so "outdated"
The first three were considered among the most merciful deaths a person could face though.
5:55 it was George H.W. Bush, the father of GWB
Yes the senior
Guilotine is in fact really ethical, it's certain and painless.
There are just as many people today who are eager to commit these same atrocities. We all know who they are.
oy vey cool it with the anti-semitism
I would much rather us use the guillotine or firing squad instead of lethal injection
You mean Biden supporters.
Could it be the same people that wanted to put people in camps have travel permits and mandates during the woo flu of 2019-2020 or the failed presidential candidate that wants to put their political opposition in re education camp recently?
Who?
You missed the Japanese draining an airman's blood and infusing sea water back into his veins.
What the Japanese didn't do during the war ? No wonder why the atom bomb had so much support…
@julosx they dead lucky more bombs weren't dropped than the 2 original ones otherwise the Japanese as a race would've been extinct.
@@julosx ugh I'm sure the Americans did some messed up stuff too....
@@julosxin more recent times.....abu grabe..Guantanamo.
The guillotine was created as a means to make executions more humane as axe men executioners would often get drunk and take several swipes to decapitate someone. The inventor of this device made a machine that could take off a head with one motion, less than a second long and they were deceased. As opposed to hanging, electrocution, and even current forms of lethal injection or gas chambers which are longer ordeals and much more agonizing.
How man executioners have committed murder I wonder?
"Hopefully, you weren't eating something while watching."
Ironically, I was doing _precisely_ that during my first viewing of this video.
I actually got hungry watching the video....
R.I.P everyone who died in the Great Wars.
My great grandfather survived Bataan. The Native American way of life is what saved him. I was told he hated the Japanese till the day he died.
was waiting to see what video simple history had planed for October
Robespierre: Oof, expressing sympathy to the people who die? To the guillotine! Chop, chop, chop, chop, chop chop!

Winston Churchill: I was saving the planet from an Axis of Darkness, while you were back home opening National Parks! Yes!
You had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
Then it became unoriginal again..
After watching this after hearing of the events happening in Israel, I've learned history always repeats itself and people never learn
anti-Semitism runs deep. Since before the beginning of time as we know it.
Well, i realy like episodes about war crimes and untold stories of ww2, but i wish we got more vids about allies war crimes since they are much rarer topic
5:04 I love the reference to Unbroken! (or atleast thats what I think it is)
It's probably not a reference because Japan would do that to alot of prisoners
*One of the GREATEST voice actor/narrators of all time!* ❤
The Japanese got off WAY TOO EASY.
Excellent dudes!!
A video about the history of the Jasudowicz family would be awesome, couldnt find much information about them anywhere
I myself served some time in _Plötzensee_ prison mentioned from 01:50 onwards - the execution chamber is still there, unchanged to this day kept as a memorial.
fun fact: Sir Christopher Lee (Actor of Count Dooku and Saruman) was present during the last execution with a guillotine
In Memory the king of horror in Hammer Sir Christopher Lee
I have no respect of the Angle of death for what he did
I don't think you're the only one
Still voting in for a unit video on 'MACV-SOG'
from call of duty black ops?
@@cobracommando3985 yes, real badass unit in nam
I noticed Arnold Toht and Takeo Masaki made their cameo so um well done
Are you going to do a video on allied war crimes?
it would pale in comparison to axis war crimes
The monitor at U-Tube are probably going to demonitize this because of its nature, but we'll researched and truth shouldn't be forgotten, pushed aside, and how about you do one on the Alis did during WW2. because of the fact that there was things that we want to forget about that was done.
Can you pls do the Nanking massacre. Thanks, love your videos.
I'm interested in videos about the war crimes committed by the allied powers. For example, the Laconia incident or the Dresden bombing. Have you already made one about it?
Indeed I was eating, but remembering the horrible history of what these monsters did is a little more important
How are people saying they already watched it when it hasn’t even been out long enough 💀💀
Could be members
This was a series of shorts
Over the summer I visited Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp in Berlin, and it was without a doubt the most horrific experience I ever had. It was extremely haunting, and I felt emotionally numb after leaving. The most horrific part about this camp is that it is considered as one of the more "tame" camps used. It was sickening, but extremely important to visit this camp to know these horrific atrocities so we don't commit them again.
8:55 well when that heals he will have one of the most epic scar possible
Fun fact- Sir Christopher Lee "sarumon and count dooku" was present at the last public execution in france.
Hans and Sophie Scholl were actually executed at Stadelheim Prison in Munich, wich used to be the Prison responsible for executions in the district Munich belonged to
Nah what the Japanese did to that soviet officer was disrespectful
« Horrific use of the guillotine » proceeds to tell that the guillotine was used as it should…
I had hoped, that what happened in the 30s and 40s wouldnt repeated in the modern times. Sadly after hearing and seeing the attrossities from the invasion of ukrain and now gaza, makes me realize, every person contains a monster, only the height of the fence to keep it contained differs.
its wild how the jews keep ending up in the center of all these conflicts.
Agreed
@@fauxtool952Jews in Russia and Ukraine started the conflict? You got a source or evidence of that claim.

@@danielnavarro537poor Israel
A far more interesting and definitely "forgotten" chapter of prisoner abuse actually took place after the war, along with the open air camps throughout Europe where Wehrmacht prisoners were denied their rights and starved by the allies calling them "Disarmed Enemy Combatants" as opposed to POWs in order to ignore the Geneva Convention, or the tens of thousands of Europeans Axis Soldier and Civilian alike that disappeared post war to the Gulags and secret prisons around the USSR never to be seen again, the most interesting to me anyway is what happened at the "Bird Cage" in London, a secret interrogation and T*rture site.
4:10 I like that, the ultimate "screw you!"
Guillotine is pretty humane. Far more humane than the modern Lethal Injection or Electric Chair.
I wonder what Allied punishments looked like. Not just Soviet, but the rest as well. Would love a video of it as a sequel to this.
6:04 i see you Takeo!!!
we need a video talking about the allied war crimes
Simple history already made one , titled The Biscari Massacre led by general Patton .
Razing of Dresden (February 1945); napalm bombing of Tokyo (March 1945); atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki ☢️☢️(August 1945)
@@aleksandarvil5718 The atomic bombing was not a war crime.
@@richardsamuelgustavo Civilians : *ARE WE A JOKE TO YOU?!*
@@aleksandarvil5718 They warned Japan of an imminent bombing - they even dropped pamphlets warning of the coming bombing, Japan refused to surrender and the cities targeted were valid military targets. It's unfortunate that the stubborn Japanese government cost thousands of their own civilians' lives, but a swift show of air superiority and capabilities put an end to what would have been an even longer mainland invasion that would have ultimately cost more civilian deaths and displacements.
Cool. Can you do one on the allies too please?
Can you do a video on allied war crimes. I think it is important for us to remember that the allies committed some atrocities as well.
Yeah what a horrific way to die compared to those in ww2
. “…war is the truest form of divination. It is the testing of one’s will and the will of another within that larger will which because it binds them is therefore forced to select. War is the ultimate game because war is at last a forcing of the unity of existence. War is god.”
Make one about the allies next.
Help me. What app did he use to create this video? Thanks
Not just the Nazis, but when you look back through the ages at some of the forms of torture and execution, it makes you wonder how humans as a species can be so barbaric towards one another.
4:45 don’t leave out soviet pows in ww2 germany. Out of the 5.7 million soviet pows taken, 3.3 million died. A higher death rate than western allied pows in Japan.
Yes, dear ol Hitler thought Slavic people were a lower form of life, so Soviet POWs got tiny rations and were often confined outdoors so they would die of exposure. Hitler never had to explain how the Soviet people were able to produce all those nearly-indestructible T-34 tanks that enabled their army to chase the Wehrmacht all the way back to Berlin.

okay, now do one on allied war crimes.

Didn't realize till the end that I was casually eating a pulled pork sandwich while watching...

The Members of the White Rose were killed in a prison in Munich. The name is JVA Stadelheim. It exists stil
A game is actually somewhat based off the White Rose group, Warplane INC.
"We just hope you weren't eating something while watching this"
Me this Mozzarella sticks: "Damn that's crazy"
When one considers how brutal the Japanese were to POWs it somewhat makes sense why some GIs would collect skulls off of fallen soldiers but it's not justifiable.
Nice!
Hold on.....execution took less than a month? Damn, now we have to wait 2.5 years minimum. What happened
6:58 I felt that
I was actually eating dinner during watching
Just a small note, but the helmet on the soldiers on the Thumbnail is Swiss.
2:41 "Hee hoo thievees.. and beggarss.. Neeever Say we DIE!."
The most famous recent use of the Gallows from what I could remember was when Saddam Hussein was executed back in 2006 after he faced trial for Crimes against Humanity.
I hope no one was eating sushi or something like that while watching this doesn't sound like a good time but great video even for the topic
