Accused Nazi guard arrives in Germany

AN 89-year-old former Nazi death camp guard arrived in Germany yesterday after being deported from the United States to face the prospect of a trial for war crimes over the killing of 29,000 Jews.

After losing a months-long fight against deportation, John Demjanjuk landed in a specially-chartered plane at an isolated area of Munich airport where he was met by officials from the state prosecutor’s office.

As the retired Ohio car worker was formally placed into custody accused of helping murder 29,000 people, his lawyer, Guenther Maull, filed a legal challenge against the warrant that brought his client to Germany claiming that the evidence was unsound.
