A group that celebrates the republican pilots who fought fascism in the skies over Spain has condemned the vandalism of a memorial stone to a German airman that was looked after by an unlikely visitor – the Spanish ace who killed him… The Guardian: link |

Hopefully they'll catch the idiots behind the vandalism, and since they like to destroy things, put them on a chain gang breaking rocks… |

It's an interesting story. My first reaction, before reading, was surprise that it was a story at all. 'Fascist monument vandalised' seems a non-story. The actual story behind the memorial is fascinating; I wonder if the vandals were aware. |

In 2022 Spain, if they catch the idiots behind the vandalism, they'll probably put up a monument to them. |

In 2022 Spain, Alicante at least, they remember the indiscriminate bombing of civilians, leading to hundreds of casualties. |

At least they did not glue themselves to the stone, which is the sort of nonsense that is tolerated in the UK now. I would rather have let the people decide whether the memorial is appropriate (after all it is not a tombstone). But for some arrogant little vandal to judge that is contemptible. |
