Sources: 22. Developments: 2. German prosecutors in Dortmund have launched an investigation into a 105-year-old former guard from the Stalag 326 VI K prisoner-of-war camp in the Senne region of North Rhine-Westphalia. The individual is suspected of being an accessory to multiple murders committed during the Nazi era. The investigation was initiated by the Central Office for the Investigation of National Socialist Crimes in Ludwigsburg. Historical records indicate that between 1941 and April 1945, the camp housed between 180,000 and 200,000 prisoners of war from various nations, including the Soviet Union, France, Poland, Serbia, Italy, and Belgium. Many prisoners died due to starvation, disease, brutal living conditions, or forced labor. This legal action follows a precedent where serving in a Nazi camp is increasingly viewed as aiding mass murder, even without proof of direct participation in killings. The case highlights the ongoing legal challenges of prosecuting Nazi-era crimes as most suspects are now elderly or deceased. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-29: Dortmund prosecutors investigate 105-year-old former Nazi camp guard German prosecutors in Dortmund are investigating a 105-year-old former guard of the Stalag 326 VI K Senne camp for alleged accessory to multiple murders during WWII. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/dortmund-prosecutors-investigate-105-year-old-former-nazi-camp-guard-1 ### 2026-09-23: Stalag 326 VI K guard, 105, investigated for Nazi-era murders German prosecutors are investigating a 105-year-old former guard for suspected complicity in multiple murders at the Stalag 326 VI K prisoner-of-war camp during World War II. 20 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/global-news-nazi-war-crimes-probe-south-african-shooting-and-hospital-security-breach --- Cite as: Investigation into former Stalag 326 VI K guard.
