Default German court won't try 97-year-old Nazi death camp suspect

German court won't try 97-year-old Nazi death camp suspect

BERLIN — A German court said Thursday it won't put on trial a former guard at the Nazis' Majdanek death camp who was charged with being an accessory to murder, arguing that the 97-year-old is too sick to face court proceedings.

The Frankfurt state court cited a comprehensive medical assessment of the suspect that was delayed repeatedly by spells in a hospital. It said an expert determined that the man, who was charged in August 2017, wouldn't be able to follow proceedings "in an appropriate way" and a trial would pose a "significant danger" to his life.

The suspect, whose name hasn't been released, was charged for allegedly serving at the camp in Nazi-occupied Poland between August 1943 and January 1944. Prosecutors alleged that the man worked as a guard there as a member of the SS's Death's Head division.
