Notes

Since the family was German, it is likely that Pierre is not his original name. An unsourced (as at 18.12.2016) article on Wikipedia says that he changed his name from Hans to Pierre.

His mother was married to Max Gassmann whose death announcement in 1915 lists his children as Klaus-Ferdinand and Hans-Wolfgang; "Pierre" must be one of these. An article about Pierre Gassmann includes a photograph of Klaus and Pierre Gassmann in 1921, which means that "Pierre" must be Hans-Wolfgang.

Founder of Picto service in France.
