Jesus J.J.Barré was a madman.
Cryogenic rocket (Gasoil-LOX) that reached 60 km high in 1945, made basically by himself, first with a shoestring budget under Vichy and then clandestinely in Algeria, this was basically a WAC Corporal, earlier, and made by a single guy in France.

Shame he was a loner who couldn't work with large teams and his next rocket was a disaster.
