sources for biographical info on Bernhard Jope

Looking for 'additional' biographical info on German Luftwaffe pilot Bernhard Jope that can be documented... need the sources if info given. I already have info that he was commander of KG 100 after successfully dropping the Fritz X with great success in Sept. 1943 on Italian shipping and American naval vessels at Salerno. Thanks-

Hello Thimothy,
Bernhard was a good friend of mine after the war when we both were Airline pilots in Lufthansa for decades. We did not talk so much about war but I remember that he was quite successful in intercepting US deliveries to the Sovjets into Murmansk and got highest decorations by Hitler personally. Well, ask me questions, may be I can help, but I dont have big library -Peter-
