London - A Nazi concentration camp guard living in Britain was deported from the US after a judge ruled that the law should not shield people who carried out "vile acts", according to documents obtained by the Press Association.
Alexander Schweidler (78), who lives in a council house in Milton Keynes, admitted to US justice officials that he had worked at the Mauthausen camp in Austria, where more than 80,000 people died. The discovery of the SS officer - drawing a state pension in the UK - increased pressure on the government to step up efforts to bring suspected war criminals to justice.
