Accused Nazi not fit for trial

-

German prosecutor­s say they’ve shelved their Nazi war crimes investigat­ion of a retired Minnesota carpenter who was exposed as a former commander in an SS-led unit, saying the 96-year-old is not fit for trial. Munich prosecutor Peter Preuss said Friday that his office had made its decision in the case of Michael Karkoc based on “comprehens­ive medical documentat­ion” from doctors at the geriatric hospital in the U.S. where he is being treated.
