   "The execution of women by the Nazis during World War II   
      
   This is a tribute to the amazing courage of so many young women during   
   World War II who were put to death for plotting and fighting against the   
   Nazis, as resistance fighters, partisans and activists in towns and   
   concentration camps. It is estimated that more than 4,000 women of   
   various ages were hanged by Nazi forces between 1939 and 1945. Many more   
   were shot or guillotined and many were tortured before minimal or   
   non-existent trials. They could be sentenced to death by People's Courts   
   and executed within prisons, by the commandants of concentration camps   
   or by military commanders in the field and summarily executed, usually   
   in public. Some of these "field" executions were documented and   
   photographed. A lot of the photographs were private snaps taken by   
   individual soldiers and discovered after they had been captured or   
   killed. Hanging was the preferred method for the execution for partisans   
   as it produced more of a public spectacle than shooting and was used to   
   terrorise the local populace as well as entertain the troops.   
   Guillotining within prisons was used for German citizens convicted of   
   treason and other offences after trial by the People's Courts".
