Lainé stayed at a farm in the vicinity of Marburg until he was provided with false papers by Celtologist Leo Weisgerber, allowing him to escape to the Republic of Ireland in 1947 where he received asylum.[28] During the course of épuration légale, 27 Breton nationalists were condemned to death and executed, the majority of them were members of Bezen Perrot.[29] Still, the core members of the organization evaded arrest, staying back in France and Germany, or fleeing to Brazil, Spain, Argentina and Ireland. A few returned to Brittany in the 1950s to face trial.[30][28] Despite its small size, Bezen Perrot left a legacy of brutality and wartime atrocities that stigmatized the entire Breton nationalist movement.
