Anybody interested in the Spanish Civil war?

People say it’s the first battle of WWII. For me it’s the first battle of the Cold War. Spain entered the Cold War early, as did Finland, with its Winter War against the Soviet Union

I’ve never studied the political aspects so much, but I have looked into some of the lives of the many religious who were killed during that time, especially those with ties to the US.

The only Americans who fought in that war were communists on the Abraham Lincoln brigade against Franco

I had a pastor 30 years ago who brought up the martyrs of the Spanish Civil War in about every homily.
Also, who can forget “Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.”
I still miss John Chancellor though.
