German prosecutors have prosecuted a 100-year-old German man accused of being an accomplice in 3,518 murders committed while serving as a guard at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp during the second half of World War II.
According to public broadcaster NDR the suspect, who currently lives in Brandenburg, is accused of having a "substantial and deliberate contribution" to the murders. 100,000 people died in this camp.
As APE-MBE reports, in recent years German prosecutors have prosecuted many elderly former guards of Nazi Germany's concentration camps, believing that this will be the last chance to bring justice to the millions of people who died - among of these were Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals and political prisoners.
Last year, 93-year-old Bruno D. was found guilty of 5,230 counts of complicity in murder, while last week Irmgard F., 95, a secretary at Stutthof's camp, was charged with complicity in 10,000 murders.
Public television reported that the century-old man reportedly worked at Sachsenhausen from 1942 to 1945. The camp, established near Berlin in 1936, was infamous for its experiments and gassing of prisoners.
