The main objective would be to cut the communications with Levante and connect with the forces near the Jarama, further closing the Madrid pocket. Meanwhile, the Italian forces, inactive since the fall of Malaga, were demanding a new theatre of intervention. Thus a plan is finalized, on which the Italian forces would spearhead an offensive, using the Madrid – Zaragoza road as axis of advance. On the 8th of March, amidst snow, rain and muddy fields, the highly motorized Italian forces struck the Republican lines and started their advance. The Italian force would spearhead the attack aided by two 2 Spanish brigades from the Soria Division. After clearing the initial villages the Spanish handed over the stage to the Italians. The 2nd Division, Fiamme Nere (Black Flames), advanced along the Zaragoza Road until they reached the village of Almaladrones. 2) Alto de Leon 002.Alto de Leon I.scn - July 24, 1936 – 16 Turns Sierra de Guadarrama, Alto de Leon Side: Best as Republican or PBEM As the military uprising failed, Gen Mola's forces, based in Navarra, begun a series of operations.

  • Casanova, Julían, the Spanish Republic and Civil
    This page intentionally left blank The Spanish Republic and Civil War The Spanish Civil War has gone down in history for the horrific violence that it generated. The climate of euphoria and hope that greeted the over- throw of the Spanish monarchy was utterly transformed just five years later by a cruel and destructive civil war. Here, Julián Casanova, one of Spain’s leading historians, offers a magisterial new account of this crit- ical period in Spanish history. He exposes the ways in which the Republic brought into the open simmering tensions between Catholics and hard- line anticlericalists, bosses and workers, Church and State, order and revolution. In 1936, these conflicts tipped over into the sacas, paseos and mass killings that are still passionately debated today. The book also explores the decisive role of the international instability of the 1930s in the duration and outcome of the conflict. Franco’s victory was in the end a victory for Hitler and Mussolini, and for dictatorship over democracy. julián casanova is Professor of Contemporary History at the University of Zaragoza, Spain. He is one of the leading experts on the Second Republic and the Spanish Civil War and has published widely in Spanish and in English.

  • EXTRACTS from a HISTORICAL ENCYCLOPAEDIA of SPANISH ANARCHISM by Miguel Iñiguez (Translated by Paul Sharkey)
    EXTRACTS from A HISTORICAL ENCYCLOPAEDIA of SPANISH ANARCHISM by Miguel Iñiguez (Translated by Paul Sharkey) http://www.christiebooks.com 1. CARBÓ CARBÓ, Eusebio. Palamós 1883-Mexico 1958. Coming from a family of federalists and anti-clericals, he was active in the Federalist Youth before going over to anarchism following his reading of Godwin, Proudhon, Kropotkin and Bakunin and observation of the world around him. A bit of a globe-trotter (even in his prison experience, seeing the inside of nearly sixty prisons from the age of 18 onwards) he lived for a long time in Valencia and travelled Europe and the Americas (he was especially familiar with Italy and knew many of the Italian anarchists, like Malatesta, Borghi and Fabbri, being much impressed by Malatesta). Early in the century (1905) he was close to the Avenir group and by the time the First World War came around he was an anarchist of some prestige. In 1915 he attended the congress in El Ferrol (representing Solidaridad Obrera), in 1918 he was at the Anarchist Conference in Barcelona, was present at the International Labour Congress in Geneva and the sixth congress of the F.N.A. in Valencia (where he was outstanding for his vehemence and hard line). His presence at the La Comedia congress in 1919 has been described as crucial: he drafted the anarchist manifesto, was on the working party on propaganda and opposed the line taken by Quintanilla. In the ensuing years he was a leading representative of the most anarchist tendency (and from 1921 stood out on account of his condemnation of the dictatorship of the proletariat).

  • Trotskyism in the Service of Franco
    TROTSKYISM IN THE SERVICE OF FRANCO FACTS AND DOCUMENTS ON THE ACTIVITIES OF P.O.U.M. By GEORGES SORIA INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHERS NEW YORK Reprinted 2012 1 TROTSKYISM IN THE SERVICE OF FRANCO FACTS AND DOCUMENTS “To the Generalissimo: – I communicate personally the following: In executing the order you gave me, amongst other things, I went to Barcelona to interview the leaders of the P.O.U.M. I gave them all your information and suggestions. ..." (Document found at the Peruvian Embassy in Madrid where there was a spying organisation.) “The Witness: All the espionage material discovered by the other group, which is made up of the secret agents of the P.O.U.M., was transmitted to Perpignan by me...." “The Witness: The outrage against Prieto and the heads of the Modesto and Walter divisions had been prepared by the group of secret agents of the P.O.U.M. which is directed by General Franco's espionage centre at Perpignan...." (The above is an extract from the cross-examination of Joaquin Roca Amich.) This pamphlet pleads its own case. It is written after spending a year and three months in Republican Spain. It is based on first-hand observation and on the study and analysis of official documents and papers. Experience of the political situation in Republican Spain throughout the war, and the daily study of the problems which arise, have convinced me that the P.O.U.M. is one of the most important instruments which the Spanish rebels use in their struggle against the legitimate Spanish Government.

Editor Markus Stein 2018 translation: Justin Howard Introduction At the close of the second year, I believe that Depesche has finally established itself in the field of military-themed magazines. At the same time, I still get great enjoyment from preparing and putting together each issue. I also post the latest copy with fresh excitement to the various subscribers each time and try to imagine their reaction. Therefore, I’m glad for every comment from the readers, which I will happily use where appropriate to improve our magazine. On one hand, this issue continues longer studies, like the articles about the Württemberg and the Italian armies, however on the other hand introduces a new column, actually two. In no particular order, therefore, in the series “First-hand Sources …”, each time a contemporary pictorial manuscript, an interesting diary or an excellent work from a later date will be discussed. As far as possible, the author, the scope and the content of the work will be investigated.
