Funny to see this , currently reading the faithful executioner by Joel Harrington which is about a German executioner from this exact country and time period, maybe it was his. Very good book so far!
It must’ve been a nightmare to wield
What a gross occupation.
Une inscription bien ironique xD
That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works.
