In the biography there are rare photographs taken by newspaper and
magazine photographers showing Bayerlein working as an automechanic in the Camp King US Army's motorpool. For copyright purposes
they cannot be shown on an Internet site. They are extremely interesting however and show that Bayerlein was a 'former German
General who could get his hands dirty.'
