Attorney Ulrich Busch said in a filing faxed to the Munich state court that even if it could be proved that Demjanjuk trained as a death camp guard at the SS’s Trawniki camp and served at Sobibor in Nazi-occupied Poland he shouldn’t have been charged. Busch argued that previous German courts have ruled that others in similar situations could not be held criminally responsible because they risked serious punishment if they did not follow orders.
