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.

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.

  • On Four Fronts with the Royal Naval Division by Surgeons Geoffrey
    On Four Fronts with the Royal Naval Division by Surgeons Geoffrey Sparrow, MC And J N Macbean-Ross, MC, Royal Navy Major-General Sir Archibald Paris, KCB, RMA To the Officers, Non-commissioned 0fficers, and Men of the Royal Naval Division This is dedicated as a token of deep admiration and affectionate regard by their sincere friends The Authors 1 Foreword By Surgeon-General Sir James Porter, KCB, KCMG, RN The Authors have given us at first hand in fascinating form an absorbing and realistic narrative of stirring times in the annals of the Royal Naval Division. They have seen with their own observant eyes, and been themselves a part of all they describe in many lands. Accuracy is the dominant note through all their graphic pen and pencil pictures. It was my privilege to see this wonderful Division in the making when the raw material was composed of an assortment of men strangely varied, but of a high physical standard. They were all keen to learn, the war being urgent and dispatch necessary. Hence in a marvellously short time they became transformed by their Marine and Naval Instructors into the wonderful fighting men portrayed in these pages. Of good physique to start with, their training imbued them with the ready resource of the sailor and the precision of the soldier. The Authors take us pleasantly and with light touch through ever changing scenes from the Antwerp expedition, through the Homeric combats of Gallipoli, to Salonika and the Isles of Greece with their poisonous, malarial climate, to the muddy, blood- stained trenches of the Western Front.

  • The Spanish Civil War Anarchism in Action by Eddie Conlon
    The Spanish Civil War Anarchism in Action by Eddie Conlon Much has been written about the Spanish Civil War but the contribu- tion of the Anarchists has been either totally ignored or reduced to a few footnotes which were often composed of blatant lies or generalised slander referring to 'wreckers'. To set the record straight this pamphlet was pro- duced. It is not a history of the Civil War, that would require many hun- dreds of pages to do justice to the sub- ject. It is an uncovering of the "hidden history" of the Anarchist participation in Spain's anti-fascist struggle. It has not been written because of some aca- 1st published 1986 demic interest but because Anarchism is 2nd edition 1993 still as relevant now as then. We have seen e-mail addition 1994 the results of social democracy and it's La- HTML Markup 1995 bour Parties, we have seen what the PDF version June 2001 Stalinists have done in Russia, China, Al- bania and their satellites, we have seen how their left critics in the Trotskyist move- ment have been unable to come to grips with the real problem.
