A German court has set an October trial date for a 100-year-old man who is charged with 3,518 counts of accessory to murder on allegations he served as a Nazi SS guard at a concentration camp on the outskirts of Berlin during World War II.

A spokeswoman for the Neuruppin state court said Monday that the trial is set to begin in early October. The centenarian’s name wasn’t released in line with German privacy laws.

The suspect is alleged to have worked at the Sachsenhausen camp between 1942 and 1945 as an enlisted member of the Nazi Party’s paramilitary wing. Authorities say that despite his advanced age, the suspect is considered fit enough to stand trial, though the number of hours per day the court is in session may have to be limited.in 2019 by the special federal prosecutors’ office in Ludwigsburg tasked with investigating Nazi-era war crimes. The state court in Neuruppin is based northwest of the town of Oranienburg, where Sachsenhausen was located.

Sachsenhausen was established in 1936 just north of Berlin as the first new camp after Adolf Hitler gave the SS full control of the Nazi concentration camp system. It was intended to be a model facility and training camp for the labyrinthine network that the Nazis built across Germany, Austria and occupied territories.

More than 200,000 people were held there between 1936 and 1945. Tens of thousands of inmates there died of starvation, disease, forced labor and other causes, as well as through medical experiments and systematic SS extermination operations including shootings, hangings and gassing.

Leave that guy alone to die in peace,He was protecting his country from being taken over by Zionists ,,we as supporters of Palestinian people we thank him for his service,

Meanwhile, the Ratline brought over how many high-ranking nazis?

Hoping that the younger generations will learn about the reality of the horror conducted by Hitler & the Nazis from the facts presented at this case.

Charleroi Airport police officers involved in Jozef Chovanec's death must be prosecuted. EuropeanUnion humanrights xenophobia

He will die of natural causes before October no doubt.

100 years old. Sentence going to be 'push him over'.

JimLaPorta Now this is a country who holds criminals accountable. Meanwhile in the US those charged with Jan 6th crimes are experiencing white privilege-being granted permission from Judges to go on damn vacation

Good.

This is ridiculous so basically were saying it’s OK to take down anyone that worked as a guard in the Japanese internment camps. Complete stupidity. The man is 100 years old and was only doing his duty.

rsfury98 Is his last name Trump?

Are we going to hold The Zoinst regime accountable 70 years from now?

Sorry AP, I should comment?

The amount of people defending this nazi is crazy 😕

Crimes against humanity in Palestine, and Burma still exist and there's no Trial against the cruelty, and cataclysmic killing of children and older people and everyone who stands against the Israeli occupation in Jerusalem.

How many generations has this guy killed? His family may still have that gene.

He was 24 when the war ended. His generation were brainwashed as Hitler Youth. He was not in control of his actions. A 24 year old private following orders is not the same as the 50 year old generals who claimed to be'following orders.'

Hang em' like we did in '45

Should the surviving members of the Hitler Youth be tried for their crimes since they also wore SS uniforms when they fought on the Russian front?

NeverAgain

Carolyn Bryant comes to mind...

Probably get 90 year prison sentence..

What is that going to do he’s 100

Oh, come on.

TrumpLiedPeopleDied

I hear winged foot country club wants to throw a dinner to honor this guy

Dude should be made to sit in Auschwitz during the freezing cold without water or food. Make his old ass feel how it went for so many innocent souls

Good! Hunt them all down regardless off age.

Good, hopefully he’s being held without bail.

Beyond ridiculous. 70 years ago he was was a guard at a camp. (not someone running the gas chamber). He’s 100 years old. Purely vindictive behavior here

100? Let bro die in peace

Op-Ed: COVID-19 is being used as a reason to keep people jailed without a trial. This has to stopOp-Ed: COVID-19 is being used as a reason to keep people jailed without a trial. This has to stop (via latimesopinion) opinion Only poor people... opinion Trial? The system would collapse if everyone went to trial. It’s called tolling (not trolling) time. Very effective against those that can’t bail. I have heard fine stories of the extra curricular activities at the tower.
