(Jewish Group) Former Nazi camp guard, 92, is healthy enough to face trial, German court rules
A former Nazi concentration camp guard, now 92, is in good enough health to go on trial as an accessory to murder, a Hamburg court ruled.
The SS guard, identified in the German media as Bruno Dey, was charged in April with aiding and abetting the deaths of 5,230 prisoners at Stutthof during the nine months he served in a watch tower at the camp in Poland.
His trial, set to begin in October, will be one of the last for former Nazis.
Health experts said the sessions must be limited to two hours a day, The Associated Press reported. He will be tried by a juvenile court in Hamburg because he was 17 when he began at Stutthof.
