Germany: Investigator skeptical of new Demjanjuk claim
-- AP: "A top German investigator says he's skeptical about a Sobibor survivor's new claim to remember John Demjanjuk as a guard at the Nazi death camp."
-- "Thomas Walther led the investigation that prompted Germany to prosecute Demjanjuk, who was deported last year from the Cleveland area."
-- "Walther says if the survivor did remember Demjanjuk, that almost certainly would have come up before, such as during his high-profile 1980's trial in Israel."
-- "Demjanjuk is being tried on accusations the 89-year-old retired autoworker was the accessory to the murders of 27,900 people while allegedly serving as a guard at Sobibor."
