Christian Pineau

Milwaukee Journal, The,  Apr 8, 1995  

Paris Christian Pineau, a World War II Resistance leader and government minister who helped create Europe's Common Market in 1957, died Wednesday. He was 90.

After France fell to Nazi Germany in 1940, Pineau created the first resistance network in the occupied zone. He worked with Charles de Gaulle in London in 1942, returning to France the following year with Resistance leader Jean Moulin. Pineau was deported to Buchenwald in December 1943 and liberated in April 1945.

After the war, Pineau held several cabinet posts, including minister of foreign affairs.
