Former Nazi convicted in Poland killings at last major trial
Alfons Goetzfrid, 79, found guilty in Germany of aiding the mass murder of 17 000 Jews at Majdanek in Poland during Operation Harvest Festival. He received 10 years with credit for time served in the Soviet Union and will not be jailed in Germany. Prosecutors say he was part of Einsatzgruppe D and helped reload weapons while denying direct killings. He faced sentencing as Nazi war crimes prosecutions push to convict aging suspects amid broader investigations into 45,000 more killings near Lviv and Lublin.
