A 98-year-old man has been charged in Germany with being an accessory to murder as a guard at the Nazis’ Sachsenhausen concentration camp between 1943 and 1945, prosecutors said Friday.
The German citizen, a resident of Main-Kinzig county near Frankfurt, is accused of having “supported the cruel and malicious killing of thousands of prisoners as a member of the SS guard detail,” prosecutors in Giessen said in a statement.
They did not release the suspect’s name.
He is charged with more than 3,300 counts of being an accessory to murder between July 1943 and February 1945.

Get ‘em while you can.
17 to 19 years old during the time of his alleged involvement.
This is nothing more than keeping the ‘Nazis among us’ myth alive.
Seems a little hypocritical while Germany is actively giving panzers to you know who.
THIS they can find——
Biden keeps on dodging everything
I have mixed feelings about this. If it can be proven that this guy actively participated in even one murder, then prosecute him. I don’t care how old he is. And I don’t care if he was “only following orders”.
But if it can only be proven that he was present at the camp, that’s a far different story.
Ridiculous.
Imagine a Russia Soldier today looking up out of his foxhole and seeing a Panzer with an iron cross coming at him, if they have any sense of history it has to be pretty crazy to comprehend and to see this panzer really near places like Kursk and Stalingrad, does seem like history repeating itself.
He must have said something about non-germans in germany recently.
And I notice none of the Germans charged lord this are ever related to people like Merkel, Freeland in Canada, Merkel, Schwab, Soros, Ursula Von der crazy or others from prominent Nazi families.
Funny how that seems to work.
A few years ago, the German Government changed the law about Concentration Camp guards, now all they need to show is that this person had assigned duty at a concentration camp and he’s guilty by association.
It’s ridiculous to charged basically a kid at the time with no agency in the Nazi regime.
If he had a choice it was either being a guard or the Russian front.
Might as well charge any members of a B17 or B24 for committing war crimes.
Yes it’s is a crime according to the Geneva convention to make war on civilians miles away the front line.
But don’t hold your breath waiting for it.
It’s called “Victor’s Justice.
True. Gotta be a surreal feeling.
Nothing wrong with prosecuting Nazis. But I also notice loads of Isis that was just as genocidal returns to the EU and UK receive forgiveness and pensions.
Again… interesting.
In a bit they’ll expand it to include the offspring of anyone associated with prison camps. Anything to keep nazis in the press.
As far as Japan goes, Geneva conventions didn't exist. Once Japan used the fu-go balloon bombs to try to kill our citizens in 1942 (and killed one family), their citizens became fair game. And don't get me started on the fact that the Axis powers killed six times as many civilians as the Allied powers, yet 78 years later only Americans beat themselves up over it (the atom bombs).
Its like going after former slave-owners in the USA
Its how the ruling elite keep their political narrative alive in Germany
When will the U.S. charge people with crimes against humanity who have and are supporting and participating in the genocidal murder of 60 million children in the womb.
In 1943 he would have been an 18 year old draftee. He went to where he was assigned, without any option to turn down the position without being shot.
Meanwhile, where is the similar energy expended to those who worked for murderous Communist regimes?
There were no documented accounts of anyone facing punishment for refusing to kill. They were just assigned to a different unit. Unfortunately there were enough willing participants that would fill in. Read “The good old days”.
