SCW 476Spanish Civil War Auca titled Aleluyas de un Soldado – Que Combate a Nuestro Lado, or “Aleluya of a Soldier Who Fights Beside Us”. It is propaganda against the Nationalists. In our Spanish (bull) ring a hysterical hive lives (church, military, business)…..They wanted to have it all under their control…On July 18 of a hot day…In Morocco the revolt started…It went on to the rest of Spain…And the people with weapons in hand…In Madrid they got beaten up…While in Barcelona it did not go as well…And in Valencia one morning they gave them first…Towards Madrid they left, but they were stopped at a mountain…While in the North they also beat the fascists…While the magnates of fascism are shocked…And to not be defeated they decide to intervene…Then they send planes, cannons and the Germans…Which together with Portuguese, Moroccans and Irish…With Italian fascists which are even more nationalist…And all together they form this block…But the people are not silly and form their own army…In less than counting 1, 2, 3, they stop them at Madrid…Without this being strange they are armed at Guadalajara…Because the poor traveller (Mussolini) had to go back without his luggage…And this painter (Hitler) goes deaf…As before we will make the invader leave (1808)…In this way soon we will triumph and Spain will be free.

Note: An auca is a graphic format popular in Spain and especially in the region of Catalonia around Barcelona. The genre dates at least to the 17th century but was banned during the 18th century before experiencing a renewal during the 19th and later the 20th centuries as a uniquely Catalonian form of expression. It takes the form of a cartoon or a comic strip, typically with 48 blocks of image and text, although some may have less. An auca is generally produced as a single sheet, but occasionally a booklet form is used. The captions tend to have some sort of consistent rhyme to assist with the flow and storytelling. Many times the term “auca” appears in the title, but another term, “aleluya,” is used, apparently interchangeably. Some sources indicate that the aleluya originated in Castile and originally included religious elements that were shed over time. Auca was a very popular form of anti-Nationalist propaganda during the Civil War.
