Court rules former Nazi camp guard, 100, can face trial in Germany
Gregor Formanek is charged with aiding and abetting 3,322 murders at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp
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?
Don't worry, nazis part two is scheduled for release in 2025.
Right, but will that have any consequences?
You'll have to tune in after the water wars to find out.
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.
