Rosporden battles

On August 6, 1944, German troops coming from Brest and seeking to retreat towards the Loire were stopped at the western entrance to Rosporden at Dioulan by the platoon of Lieutenant Gérard de Carville, mortally wounded in the fighting, during which René Daouphars, a Resistance fighter from Guiscriff, is also killed, as well as Jean Clech'mine, from Kernével. The Germans are forced to turn back and take refuge in Concarneau. The Germans had a total of twenty-three trucks out of action and around three hundred killed and wounded; nine trucks were recovered by the Resistance fighters.
