1945 - World War II: The former premier of Vichy France Pierre Laval is shot by a firing squad for treason.

SPOILERS! (Click to view)
The execution was fixed for the morning of 15 October. Laval attempted to cheat the firing squad by taking poison from a phial which had been stitched inside the lining of his jacket since the war years. He did not intend, he explained in a suicide note, that French soldiers should become accomplices in a "judicial crime". The poison, however, was so old that it was ineffective, and repeated stomach-pumpings revived Laval.

Laval requested his lawyers to witness his execution. He was shot shouting "Vive la France!". The whole prison shouted, "Murderers!" and "Long live Laval!" He "died bravely," de Gaulle remarked in his memoirs. Laval's widow declared: "It is not the French way to try a man without letting him speak," she told an English newspaper, "That's the way he always fought against - the German way."



1946 - Nuremberg Trials: Hermann Gring poisons himself the night before his execution.
