"instead procured for him some shabby civilian clothes."

False, he was given his own civilian clothes.

Dressed in these, ...

"he was executed (hanged and garrotted)"

False, he was hanged by short drop. Garrottes were used in Portugal, never in Austria.

the same day, the brutality of which was increased by the fact that ...

"executioner Josef Lang [de] botched the job"

The first rope ripped, thus a new rope was used.

"so that Battisti actually was hanged twice."

As the firt rope ripped, he did not hang but fall. With the new rope, he was executed once. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:C0:DF2B:FB00:607F:EEC2:C84D:40DD (talk) 16:08, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
