Bellevue, WA - The lawyer for an 86-year-old Bellevue man accused of being part of a Nazi death squad in World War II is asking a federal judge to throw out the government's attempt to revoke his U.S. citizenship.

The lawyer, Robert Gibbs, says Peter Egner denies any involvement in wartime mistreatment and is being accused of atrocities committed by others.

The Justice Department's Office of Special Investigations filed a lawsuit against Egner in July alleging that he lied in 1965 on immigration documents.

He's accused of being a guard and interpreter for a Nazi squad that killed thousand of Jews, Gypsies and political dissidents in Belgrade.

A hearing will be held next month on the case.

Oh so he was a translator for a group of nazi's. So what's his crime? He should have not translated ? He should have been a hero and taken his gun and shot them all. Enough already of this waste of time witch hunt of elderly nazi affiliates ! Hunting this guy is called taking it way too far.
