You wait this long and then call it justice? Or was he on the run? Gosh man, I don't know what to think of this.
The man's mind is probably broken like Biden's. But I also don't believe people should be able to evade justice by citing health reasons.
EDIT:
"You were aware that prisoners were killed there. By your presence, you supported" these acts, he added. "Anyone who wanted to flee the camp was shot. Thus, every camp guard actively participated in the killings."
There's a huge difference between killing prisoners as part of the normal operation of a prison, and shooting attempted escapees. The latter has been pretty normal for a long time, and isn't typically considered "murder".
I think their argument is: this is a camp where people were being murdered. By guarding it, you enabled what happened in this camp, so you are complicit in it.
Now, if someone had a childhood dream of being a camp guard, that makes sense. But if you're just conscripted into this service without being able to say no, it's rather harsh. I know we all imagine ourselves to be superheroes who would single-handedly stop the thing and bring down the Nazi regime, but reality is that humans are weak and that 99% of people would obey.

Does the judge expect the guard to stage an uprising against the Nazi regime there? Obeying orders is complicity in murder? Certainly strange.

Every single person who would totally resist the Nazi occupation was the same kind of person who cheered when Canadian truckers were arrested.
