Bruno Dey, a former SS private, faces 5,230 counts of accessory to murder for killings while he was at the Nazis’ Stutthof concentration camp from 1944 to 1945
Bruno Dey, a former SS-watchman at the Stutthof concentration camp, hides his face behind a folder before a hearing in his trial, in Hamburg, Germany, on July 6, 2020.German prosecutors say the trial of a 93-year-old former guard at the Nazis’ Stutthof concentration camp proved he was an accessory to murder, and they called Monday for him to be given a three-year sentence.
Prosecutor Lars Mahnke said in closing arguments that Dey, who was 17– and 18-years-old at the time, knew what was going on in the gas chambers at the camp and that people were being shot to death in the crematorium, German news agency dpa reported.Mahnke argued that Dey had recognized that the Nazi genocide against Jews was wrong and said that “in such a situation, there must be an end to loyalty toward criminals.
Dey has said that he was posted involuntarily to Stutthof because he was unfit for combat duty and that he was never a follower of Nazi ideology.
