Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: December 24, 1905 (SNAC; Roglo; Proleksis Encyclopedia; The Peerage; Brockhaus Enzyklopädie; Find a Grave; GeneaStar; Munzinger Personen; Encyclopædia Britannica Online) or September 24, 1905 (baptismal record; NNDB).
The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
