Yes, Fischer appears to be wearing a pair of Umbral Blendschutzbrille sunglasses like the one's being worn here by Christian Tychsen.

I always thought that photo of Sepp looking over the damaged car was at the scene of Rommel's crash. Rommel had just left meeting Sepp when his car was hit by fighters.

I too had thought that however it appears to be Sepps favoured Horch with what appears to be SS pennant on side.

I own one of his service caps.
