Surely they wrote some papers in English even if they wrote their dissertation in German? Most people don’t go straight to dissertations anyway, it’s more of a place to go after you read a much shorter paper.
Correct, that's [2]. In [2] they even say "[we] derive de main result using the approach first proposed in " and cite [1]. So the paper that everyone knows, in English (and with Bengio), explictly say that the original idea is in a paper in German, and still the scientific community chose not to cite the German original.
