Ceaucescu or Mussolini style, I hope. ;)

I've forgotten the details over the years, but there was a NAZI official in one of the liberated towns after the war who was held accountable for his actions by the towns people. They hanged him. Then, as soon as he lost conciousness, the revived him. And then they hanged him again. Did this until they could revive him no more.

There was a description of just such an incident in Ambrose' Citizen Soldiers. The concentration camp survivors did this to the commandant: placed him on a table with his hands bound, put the rope around his neck and hoist it up until the tips of his toes were just barely supporting him. Leave him there until he grows tired and passes out from asphyxia, lower him to the floor, revive him, and start over.
