August Sabe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

August Sabe (September 1, 1909 – September 27, 1978) was the last surviving Estonian member of the Forest Brothers, a group of rebels in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania who fought against the Soviets for the liberation of the three nations. Sabe hid in the forests of Estonia, living off of the land like other Forest Brothers.

In 1978, at the age of 67, Sabe was found by two KGB agents posing as fishermen. When they attempted to capture him, he jumped into a lake and hooked himself to a submerged log, ending his life.
