Hint: in 1991 he was promoted (honorarily) to the highest military rank, being in fact the only member of his country's Air Force that has reached such rank.

Thanks for reviving the thread Inselaffe.
Sorry, this capitalist wasn't not much of a communist...
New clues:
He didn't serve in the armed forces during WWII.
His just as famous older brother (a question of taste
)
on the other hand did and was captured.
Here's his older brother (by just 2 years!). waleed

OK Robb!
I'll start pre-WWII: The younger started it, the older joined later.
Together their business boomed (some say thanks to an African-american)...

Post-WWII: Their ways and business split resulting in the birth of two post-WWII West German icons!
