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.

You live to 100 but they gotcha.
You’re never too old to swing.
Danke
Make that clear to Deep States.
>>You’re never too old to swing.
Germany has no death penalty.
He should have faced the firing squad a lifetime ago.
Yet, Soros lives free to wreck havoc in America breathing God’s good air.......spit.
So, after him there are no more Nazis?
Good! Does that mean we can start pursuing, prosecuting, and punishing COMMUNISTS for their even greater acts of genocide and crimes against humanity?
Given Germany’s current political climate, they may give him a medal anyway.
Operation Paper Clip and other more secret operations smuggled thousands of hard core Nazis and war criminals to the US after the war because we needed their assistance in developing new technology.
This person apparently had nothing valuable to offer.
The hypocrisy and double standards on this topic are breathtaking.
How many people were ever prosecuted for crimes committed in concentration camps or prisons in the Soviet Union or other Communist countries, or by Communists trying to conquer a country? Probably zero or close to it.
True, and I always think it’s funny when people come along with their “tough” remarks about how following orders is no excuse. Like they would have refused to follow orders in either Hitler’s or Stalin’s army...lol..
Nobody running the gulags faced tribunals.
Excellent point.
Most Americans followed orders to get vaxxed when all that was at stake was losing their job.
If they were threatened with execution they would all cave immediately.
Total joke.
If the government came to try me at 100 for crimes in my youth I would l laugh in their faces. What has this guy really got to lose? He probably enjoys the attention and his life has probably improved with all of the attention.
He is an evil prick that deserves death but at 100 years is it really justice or pointless grandstanding? Meanwhile they’re gonna have to spend a fortune to keep this a-hole alive while they try him. Watch him die of natural causes before seeing a day behind bars.
Indeed. "We" pursue National Socialists to the ends of the Earth but give International Communists a pass. It's very hypocritical ...
oh.
wait.
The democRAT Party, and the democRAT Big Media, and their equivalents in western Europe are COMMUNISTS. It actually makes sense.
People that voluntarily joined the SS (I am pretty sure they were almost all volunteers) and worked at the camps should be prosecuted.
We can forgive them at sentencing. But they should stand trial for being evil.
Soros was 12 when the war ended.
You are basing your hate on a story that was factually incorrect.
There are plenty of reasons to hate Soros. His involvement in WWII is not one them.
You’re never too old to swing.
“Swing Heil!”
