-
- The death penalty has been carried out in almost all societies and although these images from WWI and WWII are unsettling, they still provide a raw account of events from a certain time.

The location for this clip is RAF Feltwell in Norfolk.
The current date range for this clip of 1950-59 can be reduced somewhat - Thor missiles were first introduced to Great Britain in 1958, and all had been deactivated by the end of 1963. Therefore a new date range of 1958-63 is safe.
