Lawyers want 101-year-old alleged ex-Nazi guard acquitted

In their closing statement, the man’s legal professionals argued that there was no evidence their client had actively assisted in any killings.

The male has denied ever working at the camp, but prosecutors presented various documents made up of his identify, day and area of start, to argue that he did. They have questioned the courtroom to impose a 5-12 months sentence on the defendant.

Sachsenhausen was recognized in 1936 just north of Berlin as the first new camp just after Adolf Hitler gave the SS full handle of the Nazi concentration camp program. Precise quantities on people killed differ, with higher estimates of some 100,000, while students counsel figures of 40,000 to 50,000 are possible far more correct.

The Neuruppin court is anticipated to rule on the scenario Tuesday.
