"Who Said Goering Wasn't Hanged?" - The effigy of Goering hanging from Coxton Gibbet, near Cambridge. When the proprietor of Coxton Gibbet Hotel (near Cambridge) awake to-day (Thursday) he found hanging from the centuries old gibbet an effigy of the late Reichsmarschall Goering, with a notice pinned to it reading "Who said Hermann Goering Wasn't Hanged?". It is believed that German prisoners of war working at a near-by airfield were responsible for this - the first "hanging" on the gibbet for 200 years. October 17, 1946.
