Suspected Nazi guard, John Demjanjuk, has been deported from the United States to Germany.

The retired autoworker is accused of 29-thousand counts of accessory to murder as a guard at a death camp in World War Two.

Suspected Nazi guard, John Demjanjuk, has been deported from the United States to Germany.

Federal agents carrying the 89-year-old Demjanjuk in a wheelchair put him on a small jet on Monday. He will be visited in Munich by a judge to have the warrant read to him, giving him a chance to respond to the allegations.

The deportation comes four days after the US Supreme Court refused to consider Demjanjuk's request to block deportation.

In March, Munich prosecutors issued an arrest warrant for the Ukrainian-born Demjanjuk and asked the US to deport him to stand trial.

Demjanjuk denies Germany's accusations, saying he was held by the Germans as a Soviet prisoner of war and was never a camp guard.
