BEZEN PERROT AND BRETON COLLABORATION WITH THE NAZIS: Was It Justifiable?


In my time I have met Alan Huesaff and witnessed Yann Goulet shouting down a French Government Representative at a Bodenstown Rally, I have also met Welsh Nationalists involved in the 'Underground Railway' assisting Breton Bezen Perrot members en route to Ireland at end of WW II. Really, I should have followed this up as recently as the Meifod Eisteddfod some few years back I met a little grey haired old lady who had been involved in this as was my now dead Father in Law O.T. L. Huws which makes me wonder were other Catholic Welsh Nationalists involved? Interesting stuff!
