Pranas Končius

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pranas Končius, nicknamed Adomas (born in 1911 in Bargaliai, Kretinga district) was the last Lithuanian anti-soviet resistance fighter killed in action by occupying Soviet forces on July 6, 1965 (or according to other sources shot himself in order not to be captured on July 13). There still were remaining anti-Soviet partisans, who legalised themselves later or lived illegally for decades to come.

Before World War II, Končius served in the Lithuanian army. He also participated in the fight for Lithuanian independence. In 2000 he was awarded the Cross of Vytis.
