A 92-year-old former Nazi SS officer has gone on trial in Germany accused of murdering a Dutch resistance fighter in 1944. The trial is a landmark case in Germany as Siert Bruins is the last alleged Nazi criminal to be detained.
A former SS officer is due to appear in court in Germany later today, where he stands accused of murdering a Dutch resistance fighter at least 70 years ago.
Siert Bruins, 92, could face a life sentence if found guilty of the murder of Aldert Klaas Dijkema in September 1944.
The trial is a landmark case in Germany as Bruins is the last alleged Nazi criminal to be detained.
Another former SS officer, Heinrich Boere, began a life sentence in December 2011 for murdering three Dutch civilians during World War II.
