A German court sentences 101-year-old to 5 years for role as Nazi guard.
The man, identified internationally as Josef Schuetz and as Josef S. in Germany due to privacy laws, has repeatedly denied the allegations and claimed he was an agricultural laborer in a different area of the country at the time, according to Deutsche Welle. He was not identified at his sentencing hearing.
“I don’t know why I am here,” Schuetz said on the last day of his trial Monday, according to Agence-France Presse. His lawyer, Stefan Waterkamp, did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Washington Post. Waterkamp previously told AFP he would appeal a guilty verdict.
