Oskar Groening trial: 'Book-keeper of Auschwitz' guilty

A former Nazi SS guard who admitted "moral guilt" over mass killings at the Auschwitz concentration camp has been found guilty of being an accessory to the murder of 300,000 people.

Oskar Groening, 94, was sentenced to four years in prison by the judge in Lueneburg, Germany.

He had argued that, as a book-keeper, he was not directly responsible for the deaths but the judge accepted the prosecution's contention that as part of the Nazi machine, he was "guilty in law".
