Thank you Frank!.
The amazement generated here by the Carius photo...
is almost tangible, and palpable. For one thing, it's hard to marry up the image of the ultra-benign, gentle Grandfather (Opa) figure, with the story of a man who led some of the hardest of hard men, against some of the hardest of hard men. Someone who once contained more bullets than a revolver- and lived. 
Yet, there he is- the genial pharmacist, and loving Opa figure with your lad. In posting the pic here, you've created a major sensation, I think. The equivalent of a jounalistic scoop.
Do tell us more about your visit, to meet Otto. It will certainly top visits to meet 'Santa' in Norway.
Edit: Oh, yes, I forgot that back in the 1980s, I took my kids to meet the equally legendary Christopher Robin (Milne), at his bookshop in Dartmouth. By then, he was a tad bored with the business of being a grown-up version of a semi-mythical figure. Otto, by contrast, seems over the Moon, to meet folk.
