**Plougonver** (French pronunciation: [\[pluɡɔ̃vɛʁ\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/French); [Breton](/source/Breton_language): *Plougonveur*) is a [commune](/source/Communes_of_France) in the [Côtes-d'Armor](/source/C%C3%B4tes-d'Armor) [department](/source/Departments_of_France) of [Brittany](/source/Brittany_(administrative_region)) in northwestern [France](/source/France).

On Sunday 13 September 1942 a British Royal Air Force Bristol Blenheim bomber sustained damage from German flak during an air raid on Morlaix, Brittany. The bomber crashed in flames near the village of Kergus, 1 km south of Plougonver. Yvonne Coantiec, wife of Jean Coantiec the Mayor of Plougonver was told of the crash, attended the scene and assisted the crew, providing civilian clothes and shelter. The crew members eventually made good their escape to England via Nantes.

Yvonne Coantiec was questioned on several occasions by the Germans and was subsequently detained in St. Brieuc prison in March 1943 for assisting the airmen. She was transferred to Fresnes Prison south of Paris, then to Ravensbruck Concentration Camp in Northern Germany, and later to Mauthausen Labour Camp, Austria, infamous for its overcrowding and harsh regime. She died there in 1945, aged 45.

The Coantiec name lives on in Plougonver today. The Community Centre is named *Jean Coantiec*.
