Guenther Fritz Erwin Podola (8 February 1929 – 5 November 1959) was a German-born petty thief, and the last man to be hanged in Britain for killing a police officer.
His trial was notable and controversial because of his defence of amnesia and the use of expert witnesses to determine whether his illness was real.
