A demand that Belgium insist on Spain to extradite Leo Degrelle, the Nazi leader here during the Hitler regime, was made today by Hubert Halin, leader of the Belgian Union of Resistance. He announced at the same time that that Belgian resistance fighters had aided Austria to capture Degrelle’s No. 2 man, Robert Verbelen, now under arrest in Vienna.

According to M. Halin, there are close ties between former Nazis in and out of Germany, the OAS–the French terrorist organization fighting against the liberation of Algeria–and native fascist organizations in this country.
