    So what were the beheadings that weren’t guillotine? Did they still have a guy in a black hood chop off heads with a huge axe?

      In Norway it looks like its an axe. However the graphic isn’t 100% because Norway did carry out some executions in the 40s by shooting. Course they were Nazis so do they even count?

      It’s axe or sword. I suppose it could be a saw, but I don’t think anybody ever was sick enough to implement that.
