:13:00
- "I was killed by the Reds"?
- Fascist stuff,
:13:03
but don't worry. It quotes
José Antonio Primo de Rivera's,
:13:07
"It has always been
:13:09
a squad of soldiers that has saved
civilization." Published
:13:12
in September 1981.
No coincidence.
:13:14
Remember February that year.
:13:16
Other soldiers tried
to "save civilization."
:13:19
Everybody freeze!
:13:22
But the book's good
and describes the execution.
:13:25
The guy was actually there.
:13:33
The last days of the war.
:13:35
The Collell church
had been turned into a jail.
:13:38
There must have been
1,000 prisoners there, all from
:13:42
- cells in Barcelona.
- Did the ones who shot him
:13:45
- know who he was?
- Yes.
:13:46
They chose prominent fascists.
:13:49
Infiltrators, lawyers,
financiers, priests...
:13:52
Who gave the order?
:13:53
What?
:13:54
To have them executed?
:13:56
Pascual says a man named Monroy,
who ran the prison.
:14:00
Fire!
:14:01
Maybe...
:14:02
but other possibilities exist.
:14:04
Such as?
:14:05
Líster.
Now he
:14:07
led the 5th Corps
:14:09
of the Ebro Army...
or what was left of it.
:14:12
They withdrew to the border
:14:14
and considered
a last stand in Catalonia.
:14:17
Líster was obsessed with acting
as if the war wasn't lost.
:14:21
So he gave the order?
:14:24
The one sure thing is that they knew
they were executing Sánchez Mazas.
:14:30
Surviving that
and hiding in the forest.
:14:32
It's like something out of a novel.
:14:35
The war's full of such stories.
:14:37
Do you know that forest?
:14:42
It was full of people.
:14:43
Escape groups, people
who'd run away or deserted...
:14:48
Not a bad place
to hide or look for help.
:14:51
And Sánchez Mazas found help.
:14:53
The "Forest Friends."
:14:56
- The "Forest Friends"?
- That's what
:14:58
he called the three Republican Army
deserters who helped him.
