Adolphe Le Goaziou

Adolphe Yves Marie Le Goaziou (April 16, 1887 – September 18, 1953) was a bookseller, publisher and member of the French Resistance in wartime Brittany.

[1] He moved to Quimper in 1919 where he opened a bookstore and began to work as a publisher, specialising in literature on regional issues.

Though a supporter of regional culture, Le Goaziou opposed the Breton autonomist and nationalist movements of the time.

[1] Involved in the Resistance, he was denounced and arrested by the Gestapo in October 1943, but released in April 1944 for lack of evidence.

A report by two police inspectors dated December 5, 1943, indicate connections with François Jaffrennou, who allegedly accused Le Goaziou and a colleague of being "the leaders of the [Resistance] movement in Brittany" and "friends" of England.
