Kā Latvijas valdības vīri apmuļķoja Pampāļu boļševiku līdzskrējējus
The former director of the Pampāli school (until 1959) Alfred Brūns has hand-printed an impressive book about the history of the Pampāli school and historical events around it with authentic photographs. In the book, A. Brūns describes the events of the War of Independence in Pampāli, describing in detail the events involved both Latvian statesmen, Bolshevik supporters, actions of the German army, etc.
[…] 1919
In 1919, around January 6, the members of the Latvian government and the People's Council fled towards Liepāja by different routes, avoiding the Bolshevik streams flowing in the direction of Venta.
A former student of ours (1914 [school graduate]), Žanis Kummermanis, had organized a group of Bolsheviks in the Pampāli estate and it already ruled Pampāli several days before the Soviet troops appeared in Pampāli.
Pampāļnieks Fricis Vecpuisis - the owner of the Stunguri houses - the head of the war construction department of the Ulmani government - an officer with some other Latvian state employees, while retreating to Liepāja, had entered "Stunguris" in a good, government-requisitioned limousine to spend the night. A group of Pampali partisans, informed about this, immediately came to "Stunguros" to take the limousine to Pampali. The old man didn't resist - as long as he took it, because he couldn't get any further anyway, the petrol had run out to the last drop. The simple servants of the manor believed and went to Pampālii with such a message. Having found out what kind of official Vecpuisis is there, in the early morning they left with 4 or 6 of the best horses to transfer the car. Neither the limousine, nor Vecpuis, nor other government men were found in "Stunguros".
In the archive, there is news that Fricis Vecpuisis, born in 1890, Stunguri house, was deported on June 14, 1941.

Pampāļu baznīca un sašautās mājas sienas
Pampāļi ir apdzīvota vieta Saldus novada Pampāļu pagastā, pagasta centrs Zaņas un tās pietekas Abrupes krastos 27 km no novada centra Saldus un 147 km no Rīgas. Apdzīvotā vieta izveidojusies ap Pampāļu muižas centru pēc agrārās reformas. 1933. gadā Pampāļiem piešķīra biezi apdzīvotas vietas statusu.
Karadarbība Pampāļu pievārtē sākās 1944. gada 21. novembrī, kad padomju 4. triecienarmija, forsējot Ventu, sāka uzbrukumu Saldus virzienā. Līdz 24. novembrim situācija stabilizējās un frontes līnija palika nemainīga līdz 21. decembrim.
1944. gada 21. decembrī sākās tā sauktā 3. Kurzemes lielkauja, kuras laikā 1. Baltijas frontes 4. triecienarmija ar 4 strēlnieku korpusiem (12 strēlnieku divīzijas) un 3. gvardes mehanizēto korpusu uzbruka Saldus virzienā, lai tur savienotos ar 2. Baltijas frontes vienībām. Pampāļu rajonā aizstāvējās vācu 132. kājnieku divīzija, kuras 436. grenadieru pulka 1. bataljons bija nocietinājies muižas un baznīcas apkārtnē.
Uzbrukumu Pampāļiem masīva artilērijas uguns atbalstā veica 1. strēlnieku korpusa 357. un 145. strēlnieku divīzijas, 39. gvardes tanku brigādes atbalstā. Kaujas pirmo 24 stundu laikā Pampāļu garnizonu, kuru komandēja 436. grenadieru pulka 14. (prettanku) rotas komandieris kapteinis Eberards Colls, ielenca un sīvās kaujās praktiski iznīcināja.
Tā kā Pampāļi atradās tieši uz frontes līnijas, tad visas ēkas cieta no artilērijas uguns un mūsdienās praktiski nav saglabājušās.
