The 93-year-old, known as “Bruno D.,” is accused of aiding and abetting 5,230 murders as part of the force at the Stutthof concentration camp in Poland.
He will be tried in a youth court, as he was 17 and 18 at the time of the killings.
He attempted to cover his face behind a red folder as he was wheeled into the Hamburg court.
