Both the only good troop and cop.

Well I can think of another soldier that made a positive contribution to this world. For example:

In the case of Julius Streicher, reporter Howard K. Smith wrote that the initial drop was not fatal, and that "witnesses could hear him groaning", upon which "Woods came down from the platform and disappeared behind the black curtain that concealed the dying man. Abruptly the groans ceased and the rope stopped moving. Smith and the other witnesses were convinced that Woods had grabbed Streicher and pulled down hard, strangling him."

Behind the Bastards (the podcast) had a multi-part look into this hangman. The conclusion seemed to be "Who knows if the Army hired him knowing he was incompetent or if he purposefully incompetent... but the result was a lot of Nazis suffering strangulation instead of the quick neck snap"

(And yes I know BtB's lead man is the center of some amount of controversy. Most of their strictly historical output is fine though, in my view.)

Ooo, what controversy are you referring to? Point me in a direction if you don't mind.

Vague accusations of Evans being a fed

(I haven't seen real evidence of this being true, btw. People accuse Johnny Harris of being a fed- THAT I do believe. Evans though... meh. People should be checking sources anyway and not just believing the framing of podcasters/streamers. Sometimes a person can tell the truth while lying. That's what Harris does. I haven't seen this behavior from Evans. I get the feeling it's mostly just normal online activities by bored people who want to accuse everyone else of doing stuff. Nevertheless the rumors have persisted and it's hard to comment on him without getting told "wow, didn't you know he's..." so I try to pre-empt that)
