Pranas Končius


Pranas Končius code name Adomas was the last anti-Soviet Lithuanian partisan killed in action. He was shot by MVD forces on July 6, 1965. 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 anti-Soviet June Uprising in 1941. In 2000 he was posthumously awarded the Cross of Vytis. In September 2015 president of Lithuania Dalia Grybauskaitė signed a decree which took away the award due to being involved in the Holocaust.
