The first woman to be tried in Germany for Nazi-era crimes in decades, Furchner sat impassively in a wheelchair in the courtroom, wearing a red beret and jacket.Lawyer Wolf Molkentin told AFP the sentencing request was "no surprise" and said his client did not plan to speak to the court before the verdict is announced.Wantzen thanked the witnesses, many of whom are also serving as co-plaintiffs, saying they had told of the "absolute hell" of the camp.The 2011 conviction of former guard John Demjanjuk, on the basis that he served as part of Hitler's killing machine, set a legal precedent and paved the way for several trials.In June, a court in the eastern city of Brandenburg an der Havel sentenced a 101-year-old former Nazi concentration camp guard, the oldest person so far to go on trial for complicity in war crimes."
