      6. Episode 259 - Showdown on the Ebro

        I'm entering the endgame of the SCW, and today I cover the last Republican offensive, the Battle of the Ebro. Fun bonus are the half-hearted machinations going on behind the scenes to try and negotiate a peace. If my voice sounds weird today I'm recovering from a pretty dire illness so hopefully it doesn't sound too terrible!

            Madrid was a busy place in the fall of 1936, and you can bet the action happening on the front was matched by events unfolding in the city itself.

            5. Episode 256 - Land of Inquisition, Part I

              No civil war would be complete without purges and oppression going on behind the frontlines, and this one was no exception.

                  6. Episode 253 - May Days

                    The Republican zone behind the frontlines of the civil war was a hot mess, and nowhere was it hotter or messier than Catalonia. As it turns out the Leftist joke "Anarchists and Communists can be friends until the Revolution" isn't actually a joke.
