Joseph Malta

Joseph Malta

Joseph Malta (27 November 1918) was the hangman who, with John C. Woods, executed the top 10 leaders of the Third Reich in Nuremberg on Oct. 16, 1946, for crimes against humanity. Malta was a 28-year-old U.S. Army military policeman when he volunteered for the job of hanging the men condemned by the International Military Tribunal. He hanged 60 Nazi government and military leaders. A floor sander in civilian life, Malta left the Army in 1947 and returned to his former job.
