Capitaine Pierre Messmer was one of the French officers of the 13th half-brigade of the French Foreign Legion. Messmer had graduated from St Cyr Military School. He was commanding the 3rd battalion of the Legion. Plenty of his soldiers were from spanish and German origin, and many of them jews. The Kadosh was said most evenings at Bir-Hakeim.
