    Ulrich Busch said Thursday in his third day of closing arguments that Demjanjuk and other Ukrainian prisoners of war “were considered subhuman; Jews, Ukrainians or Gypsies did not count” for the Nazis.

    The 91-year-old Demjanjuk was a Red Army soldier who is accused of agreeing to serve as a guard at the Nazi’s Sobibor death camp after he was captured. Prosecutors have called for a conviction and six-year prison sentence.

    Demjanjuk denies the charges and insists that he was never in a Nazi camp.
