Late last year we noted what commentators thought might have been Germany's "last major Nazi war crime trial":
Alas, there are still a few more Nazis hanging around — though thankfully Germany is getting as many of them as it can:
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.
The alleged Nazi has been accused of a whopping 3,300 counts of accessory to murder. If the case does indeed go to trial, the suspect will be tried as a juvenile. He could have been as young as 17 during the years in question.
Though not as well-known as Nazi Germany's most horrific concentration camps and death camps, Sachsenhausen was still a brutal place in which as many as 100,000 inmates lost their lives in roughly a decade.
The camp was located in Oranienburg, in northeastern Germany.
