Very interesting, indeed!
I've watched as all sorts of new information on the Spanish Civil War comes out of Spain. When I was in college, and read Hugh Thomas' English language account of the war, I got the impression that if you wanted to study the war, you could actually get more information if you lived in England, France or the United States than you could in Spain. Things have clearly changed since Franco died. I still remember the editorial cartoon showing Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin playing cards in Hell---one of them looks up and asks, "What kept you, Francisco?" When I told my college advisor (a WWII vet) my great uncle had died the same day as Franco, he said he was sorry to hear about my great uncle, but it was phrased in such a way as to make it clear he was pretty pleased about Franco.

The caption under the picture of the ship's bell is interesting: it reads (if my Spanish allows) that it is from a Soviet merchant ship called the Postichev, which was captured and subsequently renamed into a Spanish name. Yet the bell is from a Dutch ship called the s.s. Zaandijk. Can't figure it out. |
