Six West German student organizations protested at a press conference here against the record of wartime medical experiments on inmates of the Dachau concentration camp carried out by Dr. Siegfried Rulf, now a professor at the University of Bonn and head of the Medical Association in Bad Godesberg.
Prof. Rulf was tried by an Allied military tribunal in Nuremberg in 1946. Though he was acquitted, the court declared there was considerable suspicion about his denial that he had killed Dachau inmates. He admitted he had assisted in experiments under orders of Gestapo Chief Heinrich Himmler.
