La guerra del otro: la guerra civil desde Gibraltar. (Spanish)

Gibraltar was a remarkable outlook to contemplate the Spanish Civil war given its status as British colony. However, those perceptions have been scarcely studied despite the existence of testimonies and memories written by those who arrived to the Rock in those dramatic circumstances. Frequently, it has been emphasized the solidarity and support given to the Spanish government by the democratic countries and, in the case of Gibraltar, that kind of actions were carried out by the trade unions. That is undeniable, nevertheless it was also real that other sectors showed a generous backing of the Francoist cause. This article is based on literary sources and archive documents.

Un observatorio muy interesante para contemplar la Guerra civil fue la colonia británica de Gibraltar. Este asunto ha sido escasamente estudiado pese a los numerosos testimonios de españoles y británicos que pasaron por la Roca en aquellas trágicas fechas. Se ha hablado con frecuencia de la solidaridad y simpatía de los países democráticos con el gobierno republicano español que, en el caso de Gibraltar, se tradujo en la ayuda y el apoyo recibido por los refugiados españoles de manos de las organizaciones sindicales británicas. Eso encierra una parte de la verdad porque, también, hubo otros sectores que depositaron su crédito en las fuerzas sublevadas. De todo ello hay pruebas tanto literarias como archivísticas.
