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
