Hace pocos días puse unas palabras sobre el sito de Sociedad Hispana Doylestown discutiendo un libro que leí tratando con Guernica. No quise entrar en la politica, por eso, lo mandé en breve a skype amiga madrileña Laura para confirmar que no entró en la política. Tal vez debe de leer la entrada arriba para entender su comentario abajo:
HiTerry:
As you already know, Spanish civil war is a very sensitive issue for many Spanish people even today, but I don’t think your blog post should annoy anyone. You just comment that you have read a book on the Guernica bombing, the book can be accurate or not but you haven’t written it. From what you say in the post it seems an interesting story. I have researched a little and asked my husband, who knows much more than me about the Spanish Civil war. It seems the worse bombings oft he Civil War took place in big cities like Madrid and Barcelona. The Guernica air raid is probably more well known internationally because of the Picasso’s painting, but as you explained in your post, as it is a surrealist painting many people in other countries don’t really know it depicts the terrible attack in that village.
Another very deadly air raid of the Spanish war that may interest you is the one in the village of Belchite,a town in Aragon close to Zaragoza, at the northeast of Spain. The ruins of the houses are preserved for people nowadays can see the horror of war. This bombing is less well known
different. Belchite was occupied by the nacionales (Franco’s forces, also called sublevados) and was attacked by Republicanos in order to conquer afterwards Zaragoza (also occupied by Nacionales) In the end the Republicanos won in Belchite, but that gave time to Nacionales to strengthen their forces in Zaragoza. From what I have read, it seems that between 3.000 and 4.000 people died in Belchite, including civilians. I have enclosed some links in case you want to know more about the Belchite Battle, but when you read them you will realize the story sounds very different depending on who tells it. That is a common problem with the Spanish civil war, that depending on the ideology of the authors the story can seem vary.
You can find plenty of pictures of the ruins of Belchite in Google images.
