German prosecutors shelve case against ex-Nazi guard

Dec 10, 2020 | 6:00 AM

German prosecutors have shelved their investigation into a former Nazi concentration camp guard living in the United States for lack of evidence. Friedrich Karl Berger, 95, still faces possible deportation from the U.S. after being ordered expelled by a Memphis, Tennessee court in February. It was not clear when that might take place. Berger has admitted serving as a guard at a camp in northwestern Germany for a few weeks near the end of the war but has said he did not observe any abuse or killings. Berger has been living in the U.S. since 1959.
