The European Rescue of the Franco Regime, 1950–1975
Lucia Allais. Designs of Destruction
Amid the destructiveness of the twentieth century, monuments from past eras remained intact and became protected, sanctified spaces. Lucia Allais focuses her book, Designs of Destruction: The Making of Monuments in the Twentieth Century, on four moments in the mid-twentieth century to tell us how this happened. She begins with a 1931 League of Nations conference in Athens meant to develop international guidelines on the protection of significant …
Local Government, Passive Defense and Aerial Bombardment in Barcelona during the Spanish Civil War, 1936–9
The bombardment of civilians from the air was a regular feature of the Spanish Civil War from 1936 to 1939. It is estimated some 15,000 Spaniards died as a result of air bombings during the Civil War, most civilians, and 11,000 were victims of bombing from the Francoist side that rebelled against the Republican government, supported by German and Italian aviation that joined the rebellion against the Republic. In Catalonia alone, some 1062 munici…

P aul G arfinkel . Criminal Law in Liberal and Fascist Italy
Legal historians have traditionally seen criminal law reform in Italy and the rest of Europe in the last part of the nineteenth century and first part of the twentieth as a struggle between the classical school, which saw crime as a moral fault, and the positivist school, which drew on supposedly scientific ideas of biology and social dangerousness. Fascism, in particular, has often been associated with the positivist camp. In his wide-ranging an…
The German Secret State Police in Spain
Germany encroached in Spain's internal affairs that followed providing military support the Spanish Civil War in the interest of pursuing National Socialist objectives through the establishment of an extensive apparatus of National Socialist organisations in Spain, including the Gestapo. Cooperation was officially established between Spanish and German police on 25 November 1937, which was extended to the Spanish political police on 31 July 1938,…

Stanley G. Payne and Jesús Palacios. Franco
Stanley Payne and Jesús Palacios have written a biography of the Spanish dictator Francisco Franco that they hope will be objective, fitting in between the hagiography of Ricard de la Cierva (2000) and the intense criticism of Paul Preston (1993). Franco: A Personal and Political Biography is built around their access to new archival materials in the Fundación Nacional Francisco Franco and interviews both conducted with Franco’s daughter, Carmen,…

Beyond War Crimes
This work links the western Allies’ policy of denazification in occupied Germany to efforts to repatriate German intelligence agents and Nazi Party officials – so-called ‘obnoxious’ Germans – from the neutral states of Europe after the Second World War. Once on German soil, these individuals would be subject to internment and investigation as outlined in occupation policy. Using the situation in Franco's Spain as a case study, the article argues …

Our Spanish Brothers’ or ‘As at Plombieres’? France, The Legacy of Resistance and the Spanish Opposition to Franco, 1945–1948
The case of French relations with the semi-Fascist regime of General Francisco Franco of Spain after the Second World War offers historians the opportunity to explore various influences on French foreign policy. This article examines France’s official policies towards the Spanish anti-Franco opposition as an example of the impact that the legacy of the Resistance had on postwar foreign affairs. Yet the French Foreign Ministry only reluctantly emb…
