View source for Reinhold Hanning

'''Reinhold Hanning''' (1921 - 2017) was a former [[SS]] guard at [[Auschwitz]].

Before the German trial of [[John Demjanjuk]], a prosecutor had to prove that an accused had committed a specific crime. However, after Demjanjuk it is enough to simply prove that a German been stationed at a camp in order to be convicted as an accessory to mass murder.

In 2016, Hanning was convicted of 170,000 counts of being an accessory to murder and sentenced to 5 years in jail. He appealed, but died in 2017, with the appeal still pending. Legally, this made him not guilty.
