OTTAWA (Reuters) – A 92-year-old man who has confessed to being a former member of a Nazi death squad won a court victory on Thursday against Canada, boosting his chances of staying in the country that has been trying to revoke his citizenship for two decades.

The Supreme Court declined to hear the government’s appeal of a lower court decision in favor of Helmut Oberlander, who says he was forced to act as a translator for the squad and never took part in atrocities.

Oberlander emigrated to Canada in 1954 and became a citizen in 1960 but did not tell immigration authorities about his wartime record.

There comes a time for practicality. At 92 the problems will solve itself, soon.

If it is not claimed he actually killed anybody, what is the point of pursuing this? A lot of people simply performed their assigned duties in wartime militaries, thinking it is the right thing to do at the time, under the circumstances.
