Fascist Beheadings--Then and Now

So many infidel heads, so little time, seems to be the mantra of the modern Islamo-fascist terrorist.

But while they've cornered the contemporary market on decapitation, militant Islamists are following in the footsteps laid down by the 20th century's premier fascist, Adolf Hitler.

Consider the following article, caught by my better half in flagrante de lectio of a microfilm reel:

Seattle Post Intelligencer
Dec. 2, 1947
Wisconsin U. Girl Beheaded by Nazis
MADISON Wis., Dec 1.--(AP)-- The story of a Wisconsin girl who was beheaded on February 16, 1943, as a personal reprisal by Adolf Hitler is published in the current issue of the Wisconsin alumni T.W.A. magazine.
The magazine, which will appear this week, said it obtained from records of the United States office of the military government the full story of the death by guilloting [sic] at Brandenburg, Germany, of Mildred Fish Harnack. She was a 1925 graduate of the university....
Several weeks after Mrs. Harnack's trial, Hitler, going through the court records came across the woman's dossier and immediately ordered her trial reopened as she was the onlly American then in his power, the magazine reported.
Manfred Roeder, the Nazi chief judge who had decreed the original sentence, at Hiter's command, changed it to the death penalty and Mrs. Harnack was guillotined.

"Nationalist Socialist" fascists, Islamist fascists, same deal.
