| Victims of Nazis' Neuengamme Concentration Camp (sub-camp in Meppen, Germany)
| Friedrich Karl Berger
| Meppen, Germany
| January to March 1945
| March 5, 2020
| <small>In a deportation case tried in 2020 in U.S. Immigration Court in Memphis, Tennessee, US (therefore not strictly a criminal prosecution), Friedrich Karl Berger was adjudged complicit in Nazi crimes of persecution committed while serving as an armed guard for the [[SS]] in Meppen, Germany, at a sub-camp of the [[Neuengamme concentration camp]] during [[World War II]]. This decision, reported in a March 5, 2020, United States Department of Justice press release,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/tennessee-man-ordered-removed-germany-based-service-concentration-camp-guard-during-wwii |title=Tennessee Man Ordered Removed to Germany Based on Service as Concentration Camp Guard During WWII |website=Department of Justice Office of Public Affairs |date=5 March 2020 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/05/us/friedrich-karl-berger-nazi-concentration-camp.html |title=Judge Orders Deportation of Tennessee Man Who Served as Nazi Camp Guard |website=The New York Times |date=5 March 2020 }}</ref> is likely the oldest criminal conduct (75 years) ever proved against a defendant in court by prosecutors in the United States.
