Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 20, 2023. The linked authority identifier is Q110245380. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1933, 1934, 1935 and 1937.
