- "Like the blue eyes and red hair el-Husseini, with his scarred face, his thick neck and his closely cropped red hair, el Kaukji bore a closer resemblance to a Prussian officer than to an Arab chief."  http://derfreiwilligen.blogspot.com/…/…/fawzi-el-kaukji.html 

- "With red hair and blue eyes, he looked more German than Arab."  https://books.google.it/books…
