I hadn't heard of him before I saw this article, but I thought it deserved mention as he was the last link to era of Nuvolari and Rosemeyer.  Paul passed away weeks before his 101st birthday.  R.I.P. Paul Pietsch.

R.I.P.

One of our last greatest remainings of the Silver Arrows.
Very sorry to hear!
Grand Prix Legends is a drug. And I'm an addict. Again.

that 's remarkable how two Silver arrows drivers from this Mythic and hazardous era had a quiet and very long lives after  : Von Brauschitch  and Piech


Time to pay a visit again and again  to the great  Leif Snellman site: http://www.kolumbus.fi/leif.snellman/
