An 89-year-old former Nazi SS sergeant was found unfit to stand trial in Germany. Prosecutors in the eastern city of Cottbus had sought murder charges against the man, who allegedly shot three inmates at the Lieberose concentration camp in 1945. But doctors ruled that the man, whose identity was withheld by prosecutors, was senile and could not be tried, The Associated Press reported.
