During World War II, the American forces detained some U.S. servicemen convicted of criminal acts at Shepton Mallett prison in Somerset, England. It operated as a prison from 1625 to 2013. During the war, nine U.S. military personnel were executed there, three by firing squad, and six by hanging. The hangman was Albert Pierrepoint, who hanged about 450 people during his career, including about 200 Nazis convicted in the Nuremberg war crimes trials.
