Berlin: A 93-year-old former concentration camp guard arrived in the court on a wheelchair on Thursday, in what could be one of Germany’s last trials of Nazi war crimes.

He was part of a force manning the watchtowers in Stutthof concentration camp, near what is now the city of Gdansk in Poland. He was 17 and 18 at the time of the alleged offences, so the nonagenarian will be tried in a youth court. Reuters
