49th mixed brigade. Chronicle of a soldier

    At the age of 21, Manuel Pitarch decided to enlist as a volunteer on the Republican side during the Spanish Civil War and joined the 49th Mixed Brigade.

    In this comic, Manuel tells his sons about his war experiences, the places he visited, the battles he witnessed, and, of course, a handful of anecdotes that shed light on a lesser-known part of the conflict.

    In this work, Jordi and Alain Pitarch recount their grandfather's experience, paying a tribute to his memory and to all who endured the atrocities of war. They aim to ensure that this dark chapter in Spain's history is never forgotten and hopefully, never repeated.
