A West German criminal court in Cologne yesterday sentenced Emanuel Schaefer, former Nazi security police chief in Serbia, to six and a half years in prison for sharing responsibility in the 1942 killing of more than 6, 000 Jews in a special camp in Belgrade. Schaefer was arrested in 1951 in West Germany, where he had been living under a false name.
