The prosecutor's office accused the man of involvement in more than 3.5 thousand murders of prisoners in the camp.
A German court in the northeastern state of Brandenburg on Tuesday, June 28, sentenced a 101-year-old former concentration camp guard to five years in prison.
This is reported by DW.
The prosecutor's office accused the pensioner of involvement in the murders of 3518 prisoners in the Sachsenhausen camp between 1942 and 1945.
The trial lasted nine months. The accused never pleaded guilty, stating in court that he never served in Sachsenhausen, but worked on a farm in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania during the time specified in the indictment. The prosecutor's office, however, provided documents of a concentration camp guard whose name, surname and date of birth completely matched those of the accused.
More than 200,000 people were imprisoned in Sachsenhausen between 1936 and 1945 only because of their religious and ethnic affiliation, sexuality or political opinion.
The Sachsenhausen concentration camp is located in the city of Oranienburg in Germany. It was created in 1936. After 1945 and until 1950, it was an overpowered camp of the NKVD of the USSR for displaced persons. According to various sources, up to 100 thousand people died on the territory of Sachsenhausen.
Recall, in Kharkov, 96-year-old prisoner of Nazi concentration camps Boris Romanchenko died from a Russian rocket.< /p>
