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.
