I couldn't resist because this will never happen again - but I agree with Bart.
Even the article says not a single witness placed him in the camp, and he was a POW. How many soviet POW's do you know of that the SS made into guards? For the most part they tortured and starved them... the only evidence was an SS photo card that "sorta resembled" him.
If he was guilty, hope he burns. But if not that poor guy got dealt one of the worst hands in life possible.
Unfortunately these trials aren't as clean cut as when Adolf Eichmann was tried in Israel. That was a magnificent display of law and justice and the guilty man was convicted and hanged.
If he was guilty he got away with a lot of human justice and should be in hell, but if he isn't guilty as the level of evidence seems to be quite weak then he was screwed to the Nth degree.
