Worst torture of all time belongs to the City of Munster in Germany in response to the Anabaptist Rebellion.
The three ring leaders were all tied to the same pole on a platform int he middle of the city and, one by one, each guy had his skin and meat ripped in strips from his body using red hot metal tongs. It took about 45 minutes for each guy to be completely ripped to shreds before they were stabbed in the heart, finally killing them. The fact that they were all tied to the same pole meant that when the first guy was being tortured, the other two had no choice but to stand there and listen and feel the vibrations of everything that was about to come their way. Apparently, it was so horrifying that one of the other guys tried and almost succeeded in choking his own self to death against the rope that tied him to the pole.

quote:
The army of Münster was defeated in 1535 by the prince bishop Franz von Waldeck, and John of Leiden was captured. He was found in the cellar of a house, from where he was taken to a dungeon in Dülmen, then brought back to Münster. On January 22, 1536, along with Bernhard Krechting and Bernhard Knipperdolling, he was tortured and then executed. Each of the three was attached to a pole by an iron spiked collar and his body ripped with red-hot tongs for the space of an hour. After Knipperdolling saw the process of torturing John of Leiden, he attempted to kill himself with the collar, using it to choke himself. After that the executioner tied him to the stake to make it impossible for him to kill himself. After the burning, their tongues were pulled out with tongs before each was killed with a burning dagger thrust through the heart. The bodies were placed in three cages and hung from the steeple of St. Lambert's Church and the remains left to rot. About fifty years later the bones were removed, but the cages have remained into the 21st century.
