Summary

A German court ruled that 100-year-old former Nazi guard Gregor Formanek can stand trial for aiding 3,322 murders at Sachsenhausen concentration camp (1943–1945).

The decision overturns a lower court’s ruling that deemed Formanek unfit for trial due to insufficient psychiatric evaluation.

Germany has intensified efforts to prosecute remaining Nazi war criminals since a 2011 precedent allowed convictions without proof of direct killings.

Time is critical, as many suspects have died or become unfit for trial, leaving historical accountability as an urgent priority.

    So is this gonna be the last Nazi that actually faces consequences for doing Nazi stuff? Should I bake a cake or something to commemorate it?

          If they try to do what they imply they’ll do, and they fail, then hopefully. If the succeed, probably not. We have to make sure they can’t succeed.
