It was Albert Pierrepoint who performed all hangings at Hameln, the last of which was on 6 December 1949. Regimental Sergeant Major Richard Anthony O'Neill assisted in most of them; the other assistants were Sergeant Joseph Hunter RCMP, Edwin Roper and Alexander Hurry.Max Williams wrote:Out of interest, I know Albert Pierrepoint executed the staff of Belsen and several others at the end of 1945, but did he act as executioner for those executed in Hameln in 1947/48/49? If not, who did?
