Le fascisme fusille les fils d'Euskadi pour avoir défendu la Republique Espagnole.

Fascism shoots the sons of Euskadi for defending the Spanish Republic.


One of several directed images in the set, this image serves to dramatize the patriotic character of the war. With weeping figures in the background and a fallen compatriot as his side, the unarmed gudari in this image faces a line of bayonets. Though the clenched fist seems suggestive of a socialist salute, it is unlikely this was the intention. Likely far more intentional, a protective hand has been placed over an ikurriña stitched above the heart.
