PABU
Here, the German occupation
began on June 20, 1940.
The Germans began
to build a camp,
an aerial detection center,
means of defence,
mined the fields.
The population then lived
under the occupation regime:
curfew, arm requisitions
and food, deprivation,
ration tickets.
The summer of 1944 was trying:
the Germans became feverish
while the Resistance
organized and harassed them.
On August 10, the 300 Germans
of the camp, surrounded by the FFI
of the Ploudalmézeau Battalion
and the Russians,
refused to surrender.
On August 12, the Americans arrived,
the surrender took place at Kroaz ar Pellen
in the early afternoon.
After more than four years
occupation on August 12, 1944.
Saint-Pabu regained freedom
Fourteen civilians, four of whom
women, lost their lives on the
territory of our municipality
