93-year-old Nazi guard on trial for his role at Auschwitz

Oskar Groening was a member of the Waffen SS stationed at Auschwitz. Now he's on trial in Germany, charged with being an accessory to mass murder. Mark Phillips reports on the case that's already seen testimony from an Auschwitz survivor.

Don't you think you're just a tiny tiny tiny bit late?

[AdrianaLima]

So they lock up a 93 year old who can almost not even walk anymore but they let someone who killed people for no reason go?

[EDL_]

meanwhile corrupt politicians go unpunished

[shekels]

Next we're gonna be sentencing Alexander the Great for trespassing in India

[jennydelacruz]

He died in the hospital before he was sentenced, so he died a free man.

[DanielCaler]

Why put him in jail, he probably cant even remember what he did back then. People dont realize that either you where forced to fight in the war, if you refused, they killed you.

[Styxswimmer]

The dumb part is, he was an accountant. SS documents showed not only was he an office worker, he requested a transfer to the front to escape the camp. It was denied. This is probably the only SS man who deserves leniency.

When you have 2 years left to live but the judge gives you 50 years

[cqdlipf]

Just giving him a day in prison is basically a life sentence

[rulerthelion]

Bro whats the point of jailing a 93 year old man who can barely even walk by himself? Prison is supposed to be a means to reform criminals and keep the streets safe. I dont see any of these two factors happening here.

"We sentence you to 50 years in pri-"

Aaaand he's dead

[BURZM]

Wow, just imagine being forced to serve your country, only later to be convicted by your country for doing as you were told.

1944: "Either you watch the camp gronds or you'll be shot"

2023: " Duh !! He could've just refused !!"

[daegos]

"It s only a war crime if you lose"

[thomasytv]

They have security around him like he’s gonna flee from them😂

[Deutcheland]

What's the point? Let the man spend his last moments with his family. It's not like he could say NO to Adolf Hitler's laws?

[aarasiddique]

Will Israelis occupiers go on trial for Palestinians genocide as well?

[jaredbowhay-pringle]

"The most Nazi of the Nazis". You can tell it's quality reporting right there.

[AggronAaron]

Can you imagine the inmates asking, “what you in for?”
“I worked at years ago”

[diogomarques]

They wana put a 93 year old in jail? I am not defending nazis but this is pathetic
