So I was rewatching his Mine were of trouble vs Homage to Catalonia video, when I got interested to learn more about the international brigades he spoke of. the ones who enforced strict discipline and had Viva La Muerte as their battlecry? Yeah I googled them and Wikipedia says they were republican. Does anyone have the source for the Nationalist International Brigades Ezekiel Speaks of in the video?
The nationalists had a kind of International brigades from countries like France, Ireland and Portugal but Ezekiel in that video was referring to the Spanish Foreign Legion.
Thanks
So I did some research, and the Spanish Legion was under the command of Franco. But the Falange was also under Franco, so what happened there? Ezekiel Clearly makes out the flange and International Brigade to be 2 separate factions in the beginning of the video, so where did my research go wrong? Who was in charge of the Falange? And who was in charge of the Spanish Legion?
The Falange at the beginning was in command of José Primo de Rivera but he was executed by a republican firing squad.
After that Franco decided to declare himself leader of the Falange
The Legion was commanded by Franco and also by José Millan Astray
