Gerhard Sommer, a former Nazi SS lieutenant believed to be connected with the mass murder of some 560 civilians during World War II, was found “unfit for trial” by a German court on Thursday. Prosecutors said his dementia was too severe, even though he would “with high probability have been charged with 342 cases of murder, committed cruelly and on base motives,” they said. Sommer is one of 10 SS soldiers accused of massacring hundreds in the Italian town of Sant-Anna di Stazzema in 1944.
