No, not German but Austrian but then what the heck is the difference anyway... Johann Knaus died some years ago when he flew his Alouette into an antenna on a hilltop, and cartwheeled down the slope. However, he survived another horrific accident in 1991 when the engine conked out 30 seconds after take-off in mountainous terrain. Reason for that was water in the fuel.
