The Last Hours of Irma Grese: Why the Official Story is Wrong.
Irma Grese was the youngest woman hanged under British law in the 20th century. Condemned for her brutal actions as an SS guard at Ravensbrück, Auschwitz-Birkenau, and Bergen-Belsen, her execution at Hamelin Prison in 1945 is a heavily documented piece of WWII history. But almost everything popularly repeated about her final minutes comes from a single source—and the official paperwork proves it wrong.
In this mini-documentary, we examine the final days and execution of Irma Grese. We explore the striking contradictions between the legendary memoir of British hangman Albert Pierrepoint and the actual death warrants signed in the execution chamber that morning. From her chilling composure at the Lüneburg trial to the mystery of the anonymous letters sent to her executioner for decades afterward, we break down what really happened during the last hours of one of history’s most notorious war criminals.
Topics covered in this video:
The Lüneburg Belsen Trial and the sentencing of Josef Kramer and his staff.
The psychological warfare of the Hamelin Prison execution corridor.
Testimonies from survivors, including Vera Alexander and Dr. Gisella Perl.
The glaring historical inaccuracies in Albert Pierrepoint’s 1974 memoir.
The secret post-war afterlife of Grese’s unmarked grave.
