AFAIK, Franco's bombers coming from the Balearic islands attacked by night with impunity all the Mediterranean coast from Cartagena to Barcelona.

Once general Queipo de Llano told on the National-side radio, with his characteristic sense of humour: we know butter from Russia has been unloaded at Cartagena [harbour], so tonight we´ll send you the toasts.

Cartagena harbour was severely bombed that night, setting ablaze some material and buildings.

Who are going to believe, some lyin' history book or the New York Times?
