45 Executions? Sounds like the Army not only didn't care, but was complicit.

Finding a hangman was not easy in 1945 US army. This guy was a bullshit artist failing upwards. "Oh yeah I can totally tie hangman's knot"

Nobody wanted to have to find someone else.

I have big doubt about this.

"Hey, boys -- who wants to personally kill some high-ranking Nazis?"

I bet they'd have thousands of volunteers.

Almost none were willing to lie about having experience though.

There were very few Americans doing hangings in that time. Some of the few were wearing white robes while they did it, and would not have admitted to it.

This guy has already talked his way into the engineers Corp because he didn't want to charge machine guns and get shot at.
