    The Department of Justice said it has filed a charging document against Paul Henss, a German citizen who lives in suburban Atlanta and who authorities say entered the U.S. in 1955 after hiding his concentration camp service.
    Henss denied doing anything wrong.

    The document, filed said Henss joined the Hitler Youth organization in Germany in 1934 as a 12 or 13-year-old boy and in February 1941, he entered the Waffen SS then volunteered the following year to become an SS dog handler, the document said. From 1942 to 1944 Henss served as a guard at the Dachau and Buchenwald concentration camps, where he instructed other guards in the use of trained attack dogs to guard prisoners and prevent their escape, authorities said.
