I'm Spanish and I must say that this is a very good work about our civil war. Well detailed, nicely explained... I really enjoyed it (:

Man, I just moved Spain a couple of months ago and I can see how this events are still alive in the country. People are scared of politics and don't want to lean neither to the left nor to the right because of fears of being called republican or a "Facho". Yet those who are invested in politics are quite extreme. I've seen old men talking about how Franco was the best thing to ever happen to Spain but at the same time I've seen republican parades across the streets of Malaga. Is sad yet fascinating.

As always, I've found this video fascinating. The fact that democracies didn't want to get involved in the Spanish Civil War makes it impossible to not feel a bit forgotten. Also people usually don't realize that this war was the training for WWII, no doubt. So yeah, thanks for making this videos!

The Battle for Spain by Anthony Beevor is such a great book. A must read if you're interested in this subject. Should be an easy find at your local library.

It was great seeing people outside schools in Barcelona today chanting "No pasaran" to the Guardia civil men trying to close down polling stations.

I wanted this video years ago. Now that I've visited Madrid it feels so much more real.
