The immediate extradition by the United Arab Republic to West Germany of the former Buchenwald camp doctor Hans Eisele, an S.S. officer, was demanded today by a delegation of former inmates of the camp in a letter to President Nasser of the UAR.

The letter was submitted to the UAR Charge d’Affaires in Vienna. Dr. Eisele fled to Egypt when witnesses in the recent trial of Martin Sommer testified against the former S. S. medical officer. He is believed to be hiding now in Cairo.
