Alfredo Carpaneto (RkT)

Alfredo Carpaneto, described by Otto Carius as "an academy-trained painter from Vienna. He was a daredevil and a fabulous tank commander and comrade. One could do anything with him, provided one had his trust and confidence." He is generally recognised as having scored about 50 victories. Anybody have further information on this person ?
