Another good one is John C. Woods, American WW2 veteran. He was the hangman for many of the nazis convicted at the Nuremberg trials. It'll likely never be known for certain whether he botched those hangings deliberately or accidentally. But what is a fact is that most of the nazis he hanged did not die quickly from a neck-snap as hangings are supposed to go, but instead they died slowly and painfully of strangulation.
Who else first heard of this great man from playing the CSA in Kaiserreich?
I'd recommend commemorating types like these on their birthdays, death anniversaries, etc, instead of some yankie patriot holiday
I prefer to think of it as seizing the holiday for the proletariat
