Munich (AP) -- A top German investigator says there are inconsistencies in John Demjanjuk's story about where he spent World War II after being captured by the Germans.
In testimony today in Berlin, Thomas Walther disputed some of the 89-year-old's statements about where he was after his 1942 capture.
Demjanjuk, a retired Ohio autoworker, faces 27,900 counts of accessory to murder and is accused of agreeing to serve the Nazis as a guard at the Sobibor death camp after his capture.
Walther led the investigation that prompted Germany to prosecute him.
He syas Demjanjuk has given conflicting testimony about his whereabouts, with some of it "being historically impossible."
Demjanjuk, a red army draftee from Ukraine, maintains he never served in any death camp and is the victim of mistaken identity.
