Looking for photos of execution by hanging of German war criminals taken by US Signal Corps on 10 Nov 1945 at Bruchsal, Germany.

Mr. Vitz-- Thank you for contacting the History Hub. There are descriptions of films taken of executions at Bruchsal Prison listed in the National Archives Catalog (NAID 99039, NAID 19392, NAID 19522). For access to these films, please contact the Motion Picture, Sound & Video Branch at mopix@nara.gov. --Becky Collier

While looking at You Tube videos I found a lot of WW2 Army Signal Corp silent films. There were many that showed Nazis and collaborators being executed after trial. The only identification of the events were the photographers board with date, time reel number and location. Some had the executed name. There were some firing squads, but many were hangings. I assume that all were filmed after German surrender.  Sorry I cannot give any further direction on how to find what you want. These films seemed to be batch collections with little or no indexing for time or place.

The Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum also holds still pictures and records from the U.S. Army Signal Corps from the post war period. These records include following army divisions through the Central Europe campaign and the immediate post-war activity in Germany. You can reach them at their website here: Eisenhower Presidential Library
