was he Rommel's pilot ?

[gilles collaveri]

Good evening all,

I was given that book by a friend who flew gliders in France in the 70's.

His instructor was a German pilot who told him that he was Rommel's pilot during the war and he gave him a book with an autograph and also some pictures.

You can see attached his picture when he was young, and the autograph on this book. He also gave him a few genuine JU52 pictures taken above the Mediterranean sea and above mountains.
This German gentleman worked in banks after the war.

Can somebody identify this pilot and put a name on this face ?

Thanks in advance;

Gilles Collaveri
