Nazi Suspect To Be DeportedATLANTA, Oct. 1 — Federal officials said Monday that they planned to deport an elderly German man living in Georgia who they said was a guard and dog trainer in Nazi death camps. Officials in the Office of Special Investigations in the Justice Department identified the man as Paul Henss, 85, of Lawrenceville, a document in the case said. The document said Mr. Henss admitted in March in a sworn statement that he had worked for the SS at the Dachau and Buchenwald death camps, guarding forced labor details of prisoners at both camps while armed. The file charges that he used attack dogs to keep prisoners from escaping and that he trained other guards to use the dogs. Mr. Henss has not decided whether to fight deportation, said Douglas S. Weigle, an immigration lawyer in Cincinnati who said he had spoken to Mr. Henss and his family, but had not been retained. Speaking to reporters outside his house on Monday, Mr. Henss said he had committed no war crimes. “The training of dogs was no crime,” Mr. Henss said, according to The Associated Press. “I was not training them to hurt people.” Federal officials said he was an important functionary in the death camps. “The brutal concentration camp system could not have functioned without the determined efforts of SS men such as Paul Henss, who, with a vicious attack dog, stood between these victims and the possibility of freedom,” said Eli M. Rosenbaum, director of the criminal division of the Office of Special Investigations. Mr. Rosenbaum would not say how Mr. Henss came to his attention, but noted that staff historians had found a vast majority of war criminals in the United States working with ledgers, work schedules, rosters and other Nazi files and compared those names to immigration records. Mr. Henss, a German citizen, arrived in 1955 in New York, the charging document said. Since 1979, the Office of Special Investigations has pursued cases against 136 war crimes suspects and lost 9, Mr. Rosenbaum said.
