This is the first episode of ABC Bitesize, a subseries of the Anarchist Book Club. Inspired by a tweet by the famous youtuber anarchopac, the idea is to provide overviews of radical history books that are currently unavailable in English.

Episode 1 is based on Dieter Nelles, Harald Piotrowski, Ulrich Linse and Carlos García's book Antifascistas alemanes en Barcelona (1933-1939) (Barcelona: Virus, 2019).

The book tells the story of the Deutsche Anarchosyndikalisten (DAS) group, and includes a much expanded version of Dieter Nelles's essay 'The Foreign Legion of the revolution: German anarcho-syndicalists and volunteers in anarchist militias during the Spanish civil war', available at: https://libcom.org/library/the-foreign-legion-revolution
