German prosecutors have charged a 90-year-old alleged former Nazi SS member with the deaths of 58 Jewish forced labourers, officials say.
The man is accused of murdering the workers in Deutsch Schuetzen, an Austrian village, at the end of World War II.
The court has identified the suspect only as a "retiree from Duisburg", the BBC reported.
The victims' remains were found in a mass grave in 1995 by the Austrian Jewish association.
The court was told that on 29 March 29, 1945, the accused and his alleged accomplices brought at least 57 Jewish forced labourers to a forest "where they had to give up their valuables and kneel by a grave".
"The accused and other SS members then cruelly shot the Jewish forced-labourers from behind," a prosecution spokesman said.
The 90-year-old man is also accused of shooting another Jew who could no longer walk during a forced march on the same day or the day after, the court was told.
