Former Nazi, 88, charged with murders during World War II

German

In Germany, an 88-year-old man who served with the Waffen SS is on trial for allegedly murdering three civilians in the Netherlands during World War II. Prosecutors say that Heinrich Boere confessed to killing a pharmacist, a bike-shop owner and another person, but that he escaped to Germany after the war and has spent the last several decades avoiding the authorities. The defense says it might argue that Boere was merely following orders.

Hat Tip: Many thanks to JUNGLE JIM, both for the story and the suggested headline, "Something awful happened at the Waffen House."
