It always fills my heart with glee to see Nazi scum get what's coming to them.
89 years old? All that shows is that he had 70 years to enjoy the life that the war machine he worked for took from untold others.
If he's 89 years old in 2014 that means he was only about 19 or 20 years old when the war ended. Barely an adult, a small fry in comparison to the high-ranking officers who actually ordered and committed the war crimes. For goodness sake, he was a nobody, a lowly guard. Not Hitler's bodyguard or whatever.
I feel like going after guys like this is over-doing it and I doubt he holds his tenure as a guard to a concentration camp to be a fantastic moment of his life.
Sorry, I can't have any sympathy based on his age at the time.
If children and teenagers were old enough to be butchered while he stood outside making sure no one escaped, a young adult is old enough to be held accountable for his role in their murder.
I doubt he'll ever see a day in prison based on his health, but every participant who is finally dragged into the light of justice is a good thing.
