Not that I know much more, but a couple points:

Yea, if you put the noose behind the ear it will snap your neck. You're definitely braindead instantly, I think it takes a while for your body to actually die. I'm surprised there wasn't much of any drop, their bodyweight alone was enough. I remember hearing that (in some different context, I think 1800's USA) it wasn't enough for some lighter women, and family members would need to pull on their feet so the hanged wouldn't suffer needlessly.

Perhaps more experiments need to be carried out vis a vis lighter women versus heavier neo-Nazis.
