Hans Eisele (physician)

He also performed experimental surgery, sometimes without anaesthesia and/or with fatal outcome; in addition, he abused and tortured patients.

He subsequently transferred to the SS Division Das Reich on the Eastern Front for military duty.

However, after a mandatory review of his case and those of his codefendants, Eisele's death sentence was one of 8 out of 36 which were reduced to prison terms on appeal.

In addition, medical care in the camp under his purview had improved somewhat, and he had barely spent any time in Dachau whatsoever.

He was found guilty and was received another death sentence for complicity to murder and alleged human experimentation.

[5] During his detention in prison for war criminals Landsberg, he wrote an extensive defense titled Audiatur et altera pars in which he denied the allegations and represented himself as a convinced Christian, who had always been a physician only for the sake of others.

Eisele fled to Egypt with the help of an SS underground group, where he settled under the pseudonym Carl Debouche in upmarket Cairo suburb Maadi.

[6] Eisele moved in the circles of former Nazi scientists in Egypt, after a German extradition request had been rejected.
