Telford pensioner investigated for Nazi war crimes

A pensioner has become the first person from the UK to be investigated in Germany for his alleged role in the Holocaust in World War Two.

Stanislaw Chrzanowski, 96, from Shropshire, was being investigated in Munich for the murder of civilians in his home town of Slonim in Belarus.

He died in October not knowing he was under investigation.

German prosecutors confirmed they were now looking through immigration records for possible new suspects in the UK.

The unprecedented case has been hailed a landmark in Nazi war crime investigations, clarifying to German prosecutors who they can investigate.
