The Last Public Execution/Guillotining In France

Throughout the centuries in France, an execution device known as the guillotine became famous. It was the slanted bladed device of death that took the heads off the King of France Louis XVI and his Queen Marie Antoinette during the French Revolution. But shortly before the Second World War, the executions using the guillotine were still being performed in public. The final public guillotining in France saw a brutal German serial killer, Eugen Weidmann make his way to the device.

Weidmann was a man who had taken the lifes of a number of people and robbed them of their wealth, but he was arrested following a shootout. Because of the nature of his crimes, his execution was performed in public outside of a prison in Versailles, but officials did not take into account the fact that many witnesses had cameras.
