Newly uncovered testimony by The Associated Press shows that a 94-year-old man now living in Northeast Minneapolis ordered the soldiers in his Nazi SS-led unit to attack a Polish village in 1944 that left dozens dead and the town destroyed.
Previous reporting by the AP showed that Michael Karkoc was in the area of this, and other, massacres but did not directly link him to the World War II atrocities.
Karkoc's family denies his involvement in any possible war crimes.
We get an update from David Rising, the AP's German Bureau chief.
