At the end of the Second World War, there were many executions carried out in former German occupied lands but inside of Czechoslovakia and Hungary pole hanging was used. This was a variation of the gallows in which a hanging post was used and the noose was threaded through a pulley system and a prisoner was suspended from the post and then dropped with the noose secured. Many of these executions were carried out in public, and thousands of people watched pole hangings. Join us today as we look at, 'Pole Hanging - History's Most BRUTAL Execution Method?'
