The first is Himmler, and Having been the orchestrator of the holocaust he deserved a slow and painful death. He would likely have been hanged for his crimes, but being a sniveling coward, he took his own life.
The second is Saint Lawrence. He was a deacon that was executed in 258 AD after emperor Valerian called for the persecution of all Christian’s in the Roman Empire. He was allegedly executed by being roasted alive on a large gridiron. Having been known for his sense of humor, after a while he reportedly said something along the lines of “turn me over, I’m well done on this side.”
DISCLAIMER: There isn’t much proof that he was or wasn’t executed in this way. According to Roman sources, the Christians were meant to be executed by decapitation. Please don’t come at me about the accuracy of this meme.

Himmler could order the death of hundreds without so much as a second thought, but the moment he was in the firing line? He cracked.

Reminiscent of the ends of a lot of the Old Bolsheviks. They thundered with condemnation of the people they ordered shot, but when their numbers came up when Stalin was in charge… Hoo boy.
