Meßfeier in Berlin im Gedenken an die Hingerichteten des gescheiterten Hitlerattentats; die Verurteilten — im Wesentlichen aus christlichem Geiste Handelnde — wurden an Klaviersaiten an den auf der Photographie sichtbaren Fleischerhaken aufgehängt.

I hope your saying something nice (any German speakers see anything not good in what he wrote?, I think the Hitlerattentats doesn’t bode well)

Take it with a grain of salt Ken, but I *think* its good? Babelfish translates it as thus:

“Measuring celebration in Berlin in the memory of the executions of the failed Hitler assassination attempt; the condemned ones – essentially from Christian spirit action – were hung up at piano wires at the butcher hooks visible on the photography.”

Thank you Miguel, I guess now it makes sense, just the whole Hitler thing set off an alarm.

As a German native speaker I can assure you that nothing bad is said in the first comment. It´s just a description of what can be seen in the picture and reads as follows: Celebration of the Holy Mess in Berlin in memory of those executed after the failed attempt to assasinate Hitler.
The rest of the comment reads exactly as in the babelfish translation.
Ken, thank you so much for the good work you do with this blog. I visite it regularly for over a year now and always enjoy it.
Best wishes from Germany, Tim

I believe those poor men were hung with piano wire. It must have taken a long time to die.
