Watched this the other night about Britains famous/infamous hangman.A bloke who took great pride in his work & was as cold & calculated in despatching those found guilty(rightly or wrongly) as the murderers themselves.Never took his work home & was somewhat affronted when his identity became public after the Nazi war trials,where he executioned up to 13 war criminals a day(1 or 2 was the norm).The only emotion he showed was when he had to hang an old friend of his(personally i'd have called in sick).Anyway (& i realise this is considered by some to be rather light hearted on such a serious subject,but someone had to do it)Was he a ruthless killer like his victims? Heaven or hell for Albert?
