Spanish Civil War - Other Resources

 The Abraham Lincoln Brigade refers to volunteers from the United States who served in the Spanish Civil War in the International Brigades. They fought for Spanish Republican forces against Franco and the Spanish Nationalists.

As time went on, the name Abraham Lincoln Brigade became used loosely, in the United States, as shorthand to describe any unit with an American component. Volunteers from the United States also served with the Canadian Mackenzie-Papineau Battalion, the Regiment de Tren (transport), and the John Brown Anti-Aircraft Battery. North Americans also ran a very well-organized and well-equipped field hospital (funded and staffed by the American Medical Bureau to Save Spanish Democracy).

 

 

A political button worn by supporters of the unit: "Friend of the Abraham Lincoln Battalion".

 

[My Introduction to the audio program:]

Much of the revisionist material available on the Spanish Civil War still favors the so-called "Republican" side.  Its purveyors advertise the Republican period as a chance for a pure form of Marxism to develop, ruined by so-called fascists.  The communist parties and their non-Jewish members spread throughout the West were for the most part blind to the evils of Talmudic Communism and the horrors of Bolshevism, so well kept out of the mainstream press by its jewish masters.  To this day they refuse to see the purely Soviet hand which attempted to Bolshevize Spain in the 1930's.  Here is a quote from a mainstream author, George Esenwein, supporting this position [after the quote go over the political parties involved in the struggle, more than just "democrats" and "fascists"]:

(The first paragraph on this page shows that most of the revisionists of this war are from the side of the marxists.
