14 Okt 1936 Jahr - The International Brigades

Beschreibung:

The first International Brigades trainees arrive in Albacete, Spain. For the next two years, some 60,000 of these foreign volunteers—who were recruited, organized, and directed by the Comintern (Communist International)—would fight on the Republican side. Franco’s Nationalists would draw support from the governments in Italy and Nazi Germany, despite both of those countries having signed a nonintervention pledge. The contest ultimately becomes a proxy war between Europe’s fascist and Bolshevik powers.
