RAFAEL FACED FIRING SQUAD
IS MIRACULOUSLY ALIVE
:21:26
Rafael Sánchez Mazas,
:21:28
one of the Fascist movement's
founders
:21:30
speaks of the horror of his
sentence.
:21:32
On 30th January I faced
a firing squad with 30 men.
:21:37
Hello, I'm Lola.
I rang you.
:21:40
- How are you?
- Fine. And you?
:21:43
My father was held
:21:45
with many others in a prison
set up at the Collell church.
:21:49
One day, they picked out 50
and took them
:21:52
to a nearby forest. My father
:21:54
stood third from the end
in one of the lines.
:21:57
So he had
two people in front of him.
:22:00
And he managed
:22:02
to avoid the bullets and run off
:22:04
in the confusion, what with
people squirming on the ground
:22:07
and other
terrible things like that.
:22:10
So...
:22:11
he stood there, as I say,
:22:13
and they started firing...
:22:16
I think that's
what my father said...
:22:19
and he managed to run away.
:22:21
And he fell into a hollow.
:22:25
Then he crouched down
as best he could
:22:29
as he thought he'd seen
:22:32
someone approaching
who might have seen him...
:22:36
He'd seen this figure, you see.
:22:40
And then a voice called out,
:22:42
"Anything over there?"
And then,
:22:45
"Nobody here."
:22:47
And the man left.
:22:53
So with all the material
:22:55
you're gathering,
what are you going to do?
