Every November 6, the Roman Catholic Church in Spain commemorates the saints martyred by the Communists during the Spanish Civil War. During the Red Terror of the 1930s, Communists killed more than 6,800 bishops, priests, monks, and religious. Yet outside Spain, their story is largely forgotten.

And Peter Kemp, whose book is Mine Were of Trouble chronicled his own involvement in Franco's army until he was rather badly wounded and had to return to England. In print again after many, many years of obscurity. Worth reading. He debunks a lot of the Communist propaganda we have been fed for lo these many years, from first-hand experience.

It was a good war for the Germans and Russians, they got to practice tactics and test weapons for WW II.

The Soviets learned the wrong lessons regarding the use of tanks and, as the '37 Red Army purges were going on, dismantled their mechanized (combined arms). They also arrested most of the Soviet advisors on their return to the CCCP.

Personally, I’d rather see communists “martyred” for what THEY believe in.

We’re not going to play that sh*t here.
