Historian doubts Demjanjuk’s wartime account

A US military historian told the war crimes trial of John Demjanjuk that he doubted the retired Ohio car worker’s account of his whereabouts in the last years of the Second World War.

Demjanjuk, 89, who was deported from the US to Germany in last May, is accused of being a guard at the Nazis’ Sobibor death camp and is being tried on 28,060 counts of accessory to murder. He denies the charges and says he was never a camp guard.
