I wonder how that works.

The only thing excommunication really means is that you are no longer eligible to receive the sacraments. There are people who have been excommunicated who continue to go to Church every day.

Dear presidio9,

I know how excommunication works.

When I said, “I wonder how that works.” I was referring to the fact that Hitler was, along with all the other Nazi leaders, excommunicated in 1931.

Thus, how exactly would Pope Pius XII, who became pope in 1939, excommunicate him again?

Then I made a joke, which obviously fell flat - is that like executing someone twice because he committed more than one murder?

Tough room. ;-)
