Prosecutors said that Josef Schuetz helped to send 3,518 people to their deaths at the Sachsenhausen camp
Prosecutors had said that Josef Schuetz, a member of the Nazi party’s paramilitary SS, helped to send 3,518 people to their deaths at the Sachsenhausen camp, north of Berlin, by regularly standing guard in the watchtower between 1942 and 1945.
The defendant, who now lives in Brandenburg state, pleaded not guilty, claiming that he was unaware of the crimes being committed at Sachsenhausen.Schuetz insisted that during the period in question, he had been working as a farm laborer in northeastern Germany. Prosecutors, however, were certain of their case because records relating to an SS guard with the same name, date and place of birth, as well as other documents, were discovered.
Sachsenhausen housed mainly political prisoners from across Europe, along with Soviet prisoners of war and some Jews.Article content
