You may be refering to Lt

Willy Rosenstein. Goering apparently made anti semetic remarks too him which led to him going to Jasta 40 where he befriended Adolf Auer whose plane was decorated with the Star of David. I think

Karl Degelow asked Goering for certain favours regarding Jewish pilots escaping the Nazi's. Rosenstein, with Degelows help escaped, and testified on behalf of Adolf Auer (he stayed in Germany during WW2) in 1949 during Germany's de-nazification period. Its been said that Goering's life was saved in the air on several occasions by Rosenstein. What an irony.
