Samenvatting
During the two decades following the United States’ entry into World War II, nearly 30 million men served in the US military. Of these 160 were executed for murder or rape (or a combination of the two), and one for desertion. This book tells the stories of the men, their crimes and their executions.
During the two decades following entry into World War II, nearly 30 million men and women served in or worked for the United States military. Tens of thousands faced a general court-martial under the Articles of War, which prescribed either life in prison or death for crimes of murder, rape or desertion. Only 160 men were sentenced to death and executed—159 for murder or rape (or a combination of the two), and one for desertion. The manner of death was by firing squad or by hanging.
These dishonored servicemen were buried in various locations around the world. Later, nearly all were moved to grave sites in military cemeteries, segregated from those who died honorably. This book tells the stories of the men, their crimes and their executions.
