During the program on the blitz, did I see English people laying flowers on mass graves?

During a program about the Pacific War, I saw Americans wearing Navy hats firing a cannon. Were they US Navy or Marines?

During the episode on the defeat of Germany, the narrator said that some German war criminals were hung. In American English, men are hanged. Is British English different?

Thanks,
