What a train wreck of evidence Wiki shows, and the final paragraph provided by Wiki:

The unique nature of the legal argument he was convicted under has been noted.[82] Christiaan F. Rüter, Professor of Law and expert on NS trials in Germany, who researched the subject at the University of Amsterdam for 40 years, expressed reservations against the commencement of proceedings stating that to him "it is a complete mystery, how anyone who knows the German jurisdiction up to now, would be able to assume that Demjanjuk could be sentenced based on the given evidence."[83][dead link] The trial has been criticized for its lack of evidence other than an interview summary conducted by the Soviet Union KGB of another prison guard who died sometime in the 1990s, and a Soviet-supplied ID card from the Trawniki camp that a 1985 report from the Cleveland office of the FBI concluded was "quite likely" a KGB forgery.

This thing has politics written all over it.
