A 94-year-old former Auschwitz guard has been jailed for five years after being convicted of being an accessory to murder on 170,000 counts.
Former SS Sergeant Reinhold Hanning worked in the Nazi death camp between 1942 and 1944, and at a time when thousands of Hungarian Jews were gassed.
Hanning had maintained that he served in a part of the camp where gassings did not occur.
He had been on trial in Germany since February and was found guilty and sentenced today.
