John Demjanjuk, the retired auto worker from Ohio accused of being a Nazi death camp guard during World War II and helping to kill 29,000 Jews, has arrived in Germany. Demjanjuk fought off the deportation attempts for many years, and finally decided last week that he would no longer fight it. He arrived in Germany on Tuesday to face charges during what is likely to be Germany's last major Nazi trial.

Demjanjuk's plane was surrounded by police cars and ambulances as it arrived at a Munich airport. Following a medical examination, he was taken to Stadelheim jail, the same place Hitler was held after a failed coup attempt in 1922.

Demjanjuk is at the top of the Simon Wisenthal Center's list of the 10 most wanted suspected war criminals. Prosecutors in Munich will try him for assisting in the murders at the Sobibor death camp in 1943, in what is now Poland.

Demjanjuk, a native of Ukraine, has long denied any role in the Holocaust. A could could still decide that he is unfit for trial. Prosecutors are planning to charge him in the next few weeks. An investigating judge is to read the 21-page warrant to Demjanjuk later today, and a medical expert has been asked to assess his fitness to stand trial.
