Jakob Reimer said he was “absolutely not” a Nazi. Reimer, who spent time in the Trawniki training camp in Poland during World War II, made his comments while being cross-examined by prosecutors with the U.S. government, which is trying to revoke Reimer’s citizenship for lying on his U.S. visa application after the war. The 79-year-old former resident of Ukraine has insisted throughout the trial that he was merely a Nazi prisoner.
