Seven Hills (Ohio):
Former Nazi death camp guard John Demjanjuk was taken from his Ohio home and deported to Germany where he faces charges of helping murder 29,000 Jews in World War II.
Demjanjuk, 89, appeared to be crying as was carried from his house on a stretcher yesterday and driven away in a private ambulance past a small crowd which had gathered nearby.
He was boarded onto what sources said was a Munich-bound air ambulance flight which departed as the sun was setting over Cleveland's Burke Lakefront Airport at 7:13 pm (2313
GMT.)
Four agents took part in removing Demjanjuk from his home in an operation which was screened from public view by a large sheet.
His family said they would not be making any further statements and US officials also declined to comment.
A German official said Demjanjuk was expected in Germany on Tuesday.
"We assume from what we know at the moment, that he will probably arrive in Germany tomorrow," justice ministry spokesman Ulrich Staubigl said on Monday.
Two priests were seen visiting Demjanjuk's home early Monday and several members of his family also came to say goodbye.
