Birth: Saturday, 3 February 1912, Morlaix, France
Name variants: Pierre Chateau-Jobert (often seen without accent/hyphen in databases and older press)
Pierre Château‑Jobert is widely remembered as a French Army paratroop officer associated with the Free French Special Air Service during the Second World War. Trained alongside British allies, he took part in clandestine airborne operations supporting resistance networks in occupied Europe, notably around the liberation of France. After 1945 he contributed to the development of French airborne units and held senior commands during the turbulent post‑war era. He is frequently cited for leadership in training, discipline, and combined operations, and for a service record marked by high French decorations. As a native of Morlaix, he remains a reference figure in regional military memory and national airborne heritage.
As a historical figure, contemporary “news” tends to be commemorative: anniversary articles around D‑Day, Brittany SAS operations, or unit milestones; museum exhibits on Free French paratroopers; and local ceremonies in Brittany and at airborne bases. French defense institutions periodically highlight archival photos, citations, and profiles of notable WWII parachutists, in which Château‑Jobert may be referenced. Searches around national remembrance days often surface fresh pieces from regional outlets and official channels.
