A 100-year-old concentration camp guard dubbed last Nazi should stand trial accused of murdering 3,300 Holocaust victims, the German high court has ruled.
Gregor Formanek had successfully appealed a decision to put him on trial for the "cruel and treacherous killing" of victims at Sachsenhausen concentration camp, back in May. The Hanau Regional Court excused him from prosecution, based on medical evidence declaring that he had a "permanent incapacity to stand trial".
But now the Frankfurt Higher Regional Court has overturned that decision and sent the case back to Hanau for another hearing. This means that Formanek is likely to face trial early in 2025.
Born in Romania, Formanek was the son of a German-speaking master tailor and joined the SS in July 1943 as a member of the notorious Sachsenhausen battalion.
Set up in 1936, the camp was seen as a model training ground for Hitler's mass extermination of Jews. More than 200,000 prisoners passed through Sachsenhausen, notorious for its gas chambers and horrifying medical experiments.

When I said there were no stories to tell I was responding to your post 55, the WWII generation wasn’t being fed constant hate America stories about how evil they were, they were merely enjoying the great science America was putting out and the wealth and national defense strength coming out of the work of obscure scientists doing obscure work.
I’m well aware of all the breast beating stories of post 60s America, heck we are reading your posts right now, today.
Read Farrell—and find out what happened to the many Nazis who came here—not just the big names, but the rest of them.
You will be in for quite the shock.
No I won’t, it made sense to hire those Physicists and scientists away from the enemy of the world, Russia, and you should look at how the Nazi and German POWs were treated here in the states by the WWII generation, aside from being treated well and allowed to work of site, at times they even were allowed to guard themselves during special days that the American guards wanted off, such as at Christmas.
By the way your author is pretty nutty and wasn’t even born until well after the war, you should look at the titles of his books at your link, crazy as a loon.
The “loon” is one of the most brilliant scholars of our age.
When you are ready to learn from him you will learn from him.
Sure Erich von Däniken.
You have so much to learn.
I hope you get a chance to do it.
He will soon answer to a judge higher than any on this earth.
In your ignorance you confuse someone disagreeing with as lacking knowledge of the topic.
You convinced me you lack knowledge of the topic.
Most people have no clue how Operation Paperclip and affiliated operations worked.
I get that. It is OK.
Read Farrell and learn.
If you don’t like Farrell here is another book that covered the topic in depth:
https://www.amazon.com/Rise-Fourth-Reich-Societies-Threaten/dp/0061245585
You are easy to convince, which is why you see that New Agey author as a guru, the topic that you discovered is one that the rest of us have been reading about for many decades, which is why if you read my posts and response to your post 55 you will see that I am talking about the period in question and the Americans of the time.
Name calling is not going to cut it.
Do the work instead.
I was given to understand that the main reason for Operation Paperclip was to keep those top-notch scientists out of the hands of the Russians.
Nazi Germany did not allow abortion in the third trimester. We do. Of course, they did allow genocide, ……soooooo.
That is true—but just the beginning of the story.
There was no deNazification of our new visitors.
Well said!
“Meanwhile they’re gonna have to spend a fortune to keep this a-hole alive while they try him.”
The taxpayers have plenty of money
So who's guilty of the greater genocide?
The Third Reich committed genocide wholesale, by government employees in government facilities.
The people of the United States of Abortion commit genocide retail, by individual citizens in privately owned facilities.
Madness, MADNESS.
Winston Churchill should have been prosecuted and hanged for inventing the Concentration camps of Boers in S Africa. Was having a hard time fighting men, so he arrested women and children, and used them to get the men to surrender. Churchill was one mean S.O.B. I seriously cannot believe he is considered a hero of any sort. Does anyone know the names of the camps, and of those slaughtered for a piece of the rare Earths and diamonds???
The Cardinal sin of the United States, is hooking our wagon to the British. The French and the Russians bailed us out of many a scrape, but our loyalty is to Britain?
Just to be clear, why did’nt we let WW 1 play out and let all of the sons of beotches die in the trenches? EMPIRE is the reason. The same reason we screwed up the peace then, and went back in for seconds on WW II. EMPIRE. Did the US citizen win, or just those seeking fortune and glory?
He was a mole, he pointed out Jews in hiding, and got a cut of the take.... on repeat. Gold, diamonds, jewelry, and masterpiece or two, maybe three.
