I assume that's a photo of the late German actor Gert Frobe aka "Auric Goldfinger".

Gert had more than one gold finger as he was a talented violinist.

He became a member of the Nazi Party at age 16 and remained in it throughout the war.

When the James Bond film "Goldfinger" was released it was boycotted in many countries because of Frobe's Nazi connection. However, the boycott was lifted when a Jewish family spoke up in his behalf and it was learned he was assisting and hiding many German Jews from the Gestapo during the war by using his membership as a cover.

In 1988 Gert died of a heart attack in Icking, Bavaria at the age of 75.
