Not sure if this has been posted here, but great demonstration video. I wonder if this is a real Tegel or just a very accurate replica.

This is not a real Tegel fallbeil, only a nice replica. It was built by a Czech machinist Sebecek, whose hobbies include building guillotine models, and a few full size ones too.
The text at the end of the video at 2:10:
"In prisons of the Nazi Third Reich 17000 death sentences were carried out by beheading machines."
"He, who forgets his past, is sentenced to live through it again."

Re: Beheadings in the Third Reich
I have a question for Pete:
Why were so many Czech army officers executed? Wouldn't the normally to a Prisoner of War camp?

Re: Beheadings in the Third Reich
Sorry Pete, my last question wasn't clear. Wouldn't officers normally be sent to a prisoner of war camp? I find it odd that they were executed
