This is not a correction or addition, but a small bit of trivia on the execution of Erich Wasicky.
The orders were given for him to be hanged on 27 May, 1947. He was hanged on 28 May 1947.
The reason for this is that his birthday was on 27 May and he asked my uncle, the assistant commandant at Landsberg if it was possible, he thought a hangmans noose was not a very good birthday present.
My uncle granted his wish and delayed it until the next day.
My uncle had befriended Wasicky and had many conversations with him. He provided him some pencils and crayons and paper and Waiscky made several cartoons depicting life at the prison. He gave them to my uncle and they are still in his posession.
They may be included in a book written about his assignment at Landsberg.
Wasicky's execution was the only prisoner he did not accompany to the gallows and read the last statements. He was too close to Wasicky and instead watched from a window. He said Wasicky looked all around for someone. He knew he was looking for him. My uncle is still living at this date.

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Auschwitz Trial which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 16:23, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
I've noticed that this article is informative, yet could use some more information providing detail and context to what the trials are. I plan to add information such as events leading up to the trial. I.e. how the United States, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union were pressured with overwhelming evidence to convict those involved at the Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp [1]. There are also a few spelling errors with the chemical 'Zyklon B'. The author I am referring to has been used in the article already. Dr. Jardim provides an excellent secondary source. Graduating with a BA in History, specializing in modern Germany, the Holocaust, and the World Wars while receiving multiple awards for his work [2]. Any commentary or feedback would be greatly appreciated! Rubinm1 ( talk) 06:48, 15 November 2018 (UTC)Max

Just to be precise: Mauthausen is situated in Upper Austria (Oberösterreich). However, at the time of the concentration camp of Mauthausen-Gusen this province had been named Oberdonau, which would be Upper Danube in English. Shouldn't it be mentioned? -- 217.149.161.136 ( talk) 19:07, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

Mauthausen Trial → Mauthausen concentration camp trials – The related article Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp has been renamed to Mauthausen concentration camp, per Feb 2020 RM discussion at Talk:Mauthausen_concentration_camp#Name, so I suggest that this article should be renamed likewise. This article refers to multiple trials, so the page name should use plural "trials". Lowercase was approved for "trial(s)" in all such pages at Talk:Auschwitz_trial#Requested_move_April_2014. – Fayenatic London 13:51, 28 June 2020 (UTC)—Relisted. – Ammarpad ( talk) 06:38, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
