Josef Schuetz is accused of involvement in the murders of 3,518 prisoners at the Sachsenhausen camp in Oranienburg, north of Berlin, between 1942 and 1945.
A German court will give its verdict on Tuesday in the trial of a 101-year-old former Nazi concentration camp guard, the oldest person so far to be charged with complicity in war crimes during the Holocaust.
Josef Schuetz is accused of involvement in the murders of 3,518 prisoners at the Sachsenhausen camp in Oranienburg, north of Berlin, between 1942 and 1945.
The pensioner, who now lives in Brandenburg state, has pleaded innocent, saying he did "absolutely nothing" and was not aware of the gruesome crimes being carried out at the camp.
"I don't know why I am here," he said at the close of his trial on Monday.
