I found this case half year ago. I did some research on him at the time and discovered some information about him. I'm sure for 99% that it's real case, because he was he went down to some extent in Venezuelan history as an industrialist (metallurgy).

Before World War II he escaped from the Nazis to Venezuela, so I think that they are his emigration records. We can also locate his marriage records (married with Judith van Beever (1907-2000).

I also found another his photo taken in 1973:

I didn't know that someone will like to know more about this case. I often look for interesting cases of male centenarians. If you are interested in this and want me to publish it, let me know. In which thread would you like me to publish these cases?
