THE ENIGMA OF TANK VIDAL-QUADRAS
By our special correspondent Florentino Sanders.
On Thursday came another of those memorable afternoons of bullfighting organized games by Gefrema that take place in Lourdes school almost every month of the year. This time the guest was right Raúl Cancio have to deal with a more interesting topic: "The roles of the tanker" or what is the same as the story of how the sequence of the General Varela number 15 for the assault Madrid came into the possession of Colonel Vicente Rojo, which thus was able to reorganize its forces to thwart the maneuvers of General Franco.
Left Antonio Morcillo, President of Gefrema, with Raul Cancio gave the conference and is the author of the article to be published in the magazine Front madrid to be presented on Tuesday 16 November. (Photo courtesy of FOTO JAG).
But before you go into detail of how they developed this more interesting appearance, I'll talk a little of Bullfighting games, which as you all can imagine is taking place without the presence of the bull. If for a run of truth (as we enjoy the last Sunday in the House in which the famed right "President" faced a bulls astifinos livestock of "Chucho") is necessary step in the ring, the bullfighting games can be done anywhere, including the bar of a bar and in the presence of the third. But often bullfighting games reaches heights of real solemnity, especially when a leading figure who performs it and is also referred to by a large audience, becoming in many cases a masterclass in bullfighting, or guerracivilmaquia, as happened yesterday . And in this regard I would emphasize the "Evening of Lourdes" which for years has organized Gefrema, authentic lectures on knowledge of the Civil War in Madrid in which not only act first figure, but will also have a public understanding and enthusiastic that give value to those already in itself interesting appearances. Nothing to do with other similar work carried out in other scenarios more posh, but not better than Lourdes, where bullfighting usually skilled often preceded by a very famous media and where in many cases usually go to the type of fan known as " the Isidros "who only attend the big runs or in which leading figures torean the ladder, or at least they are considered as such, regardless of livestock to cope, and often applaud mantazo unconditionally any pass or whether the figures given by quality. By contrast the public of the "Evening of Lourdes" is made up mostly by fans of great knowledge and many desire to learn, with a critical yet very constructive, participatory audience gives a double value to what is presented here. If questions other presentations are made to the right to end their sets tend to be bland, meaningless in many cases and other questions are being prepared for the speaker is brilliant, in presentations of Lourdes is true well it starts when the right ends, rather than settling debates, social gathering authentic amateur torero and rich, and how, as shown by the bridle.
A picture in which we can see several fans (with pint of "Isidro" that's the truth) practicing bullfighting games.
take this opportunity to mention another interesting activity that this partnership will redo the second consecutive year, and last year was a great success. I refer to the call of the 2 nd International Competition of short story about the Civil War in Madrid, which is still open registration period if any of you are interested. The basis for participation and awards can be found on the following address:

You know, if you have literary inclinations apúntense to this event which was so well received in its first edition.
But back to the task last Thursday I do Raúl Cancio, a right that was preceded by a well-deserved reputation that reached in its previous hearing that focused on "the enigma of the death of Durruti" and that served to present the number 15 of the Madrid Front magazine for which the right had written the lead article on the subject. He had previously published two interesting articles in the same publication, the first on the Supreme Court during the Republic and the Civil War, and another article published in the exceptional number 14 on the managed and preserved as heritage that remains of the American Civil War, to the shame of English local government. With this background would expect the excitement generated at his appearance, especially taking into account the interest of the topic presented.
Ansaldo A car in a parade.
not detail the intervention of Raúl Cancio, among other reasons because all that was stated in a lengthy article to be published in the magazine number 18 Front Madrid which will be presented on Tuesday, 16 also Lourdes in school and therefore we do not anticipate. But making a Raúl Cancio short summary maintains or raises the hypothesis that information about how you would carry out the attack on Madrid was known by some Republicans control before they occur, and possibly this information would have been facilitated by a "pin" from their own Franco's ranks, and the whole history of the discovery of the papers in the possession of Captain Vidal-Quadras killed after falling in his armored car was all a hoax. The author made a number of data and evidence, chained so that they point to the validity of this hypothesis, data all the well documented with Raul Cancio has been gearing up a series of possible alternatives which seem to lead to elimination initial hypothesis. As I say an excellent job of detective investigation almost in line with its earlier work on the circumstances, places and possible causes that resulted in the death of Buenaventura Durruti.
Magazine Cover Front Madrid, where we can encotraba the interesting article by Raúl Cancio published research on the death of the anarchist leader .
But as I say we will not disclose such details of the investigation, for this I recommend that you make a copy of the journal when published, but if we're going to reveal Two such data is often talk in the discussion following the conference. One is the date of the death of Captain Vidal-Quadras, according to the official summary report of casualties signed by two officers of General Varela, the death occurred on day 6 in the morning, then how is that to this day 7 is not documentation delivered to Colonel Vicente Rojo to the dinner?. Another question that was raised both in the conference and the ensuing discussion, is the simple fact that a captain, had her Order No. 15 signed by the General Varela and also take her up when he went to fight on the front line. Of course, for the interesting discussion I affirm that this order, important fact that many of these were unaware, is preserved today, and that file is part of the Communist Party who was taken to the Soviet Union, and today still remains in Russia.
One of the books used by the author which supports the hypothesis of a possible performance of services intelegencia Republicans to neutralize the attack and should be completed with the capture of Madrid .
options are managed for and against these data, including "Moncloveño" said to have read works of several authors questioned the fact that Vidal had died on day 6, and others who could explain the fact that the order of operations carried over. "Moncloveño" kindly sent me texts and their origin, which happened to transcribe below.
A group formed to review Ansaldo tanks.
First we have the text of Colonel José María Manrique García author of numerous papers and articles related to the Civil War including the one entitled "More on Italian cars 1936-1939. Part 2 Battle of Madrid "magazine published in English Military History No. 4 July-August 2000 where we find the following: "The car company Italians spent the night of June in the town of Villaverde with legionaries and regular forces indigenous composing forces Tella and seven in the morning ready to continue the advance to Madrid. During the day one of the cars the company will be immersed in an episode of great importance in the aconteciminetos. Tella forces were scheduled that day forward toward the Puente de la Princesa, but Republican positions began about two km. north of the town of Villaverde, cutting the road was Andalucía.Se an extensive line of defense was based on the Usera district and covered the settlements Orcasitas, The Pearl, the Popular Madrid and the Carolinas, as well as different sections of the railroad tracks that ran through the area. It was composed of an intricate system of trenches that were based on existing buildings in the area, where defenders were strongly fortified. Along the axis of the road from Toledo, the tank company went to the Hill area of \u200b\u200bthe Dump (in that spot now stands Zofia district) and the upper area of \u200b\u200bthe district of Usera, from where they were beaten by fire republican troops. At this point the cars of the Second Section moved to the left followed by the Third Force and the First on the right followed by a tabor of the Mehal-la, but a stream with plenty of water and muddy soil (probably the stream Pradolongo) prevented the progression of Fiat Ansaldo L 3 / 35. The crews of the cars were ready to find a better way under enemy fire while infantry units that accompanied them stopped at a safe distance. The two guns of one of the cars of the Second Section malfunctioned and the vehicle's occupants had to find shelter for them back in service. When this car was incorporated back into combat crew was informed that it needed help tow the vehicle of Captain Vidal-Cuadras, who was stranded in a ditch and the driver's hatch open. The car had been attacked with hand grenades by the police Lieutenant Colonel Trucharte defending this sector and was in the range of the enemy, preventing any landing approach. At night, the officer commanding the Second Section of cars (Lieutenant Tamariz) and a soldier, managed to close up about 20 meters from the vehicle and from there called their occupants (Captain Vidal Cuadras, Major of the car and José M. Gordillo, a driver acting requeté), no answer, so left the scene convinced they had died, returning to the village of Villaverde guided by the glow of some lights. The car was inspected shortly after by the militiamen who defended this area they found the body of Captain Vidal-Cuadras diverse military documentation which was then forwarded to the General Staff of the Defence of Madrid, where he quickly appreciate the importance of finding " . As seen here says that the death occurred on day 7, coinciding with other authors, including Martínez Bande. So the question is: how can we see recorded on day 6 in the Journal of Operations Varela?.
The other plants on which doubt Order was held by Captain Vidal-Quadras. Perhaps the answer can be found in this text Infiesta José Luis Perez, who also signs his works under the pseudonym ALCOFAR JL NASSER, published in Army magazine published by the Ministry of Defence: "As part of this column occupied Borox Esquivias and on October 24, capturing a large bus that had belonged to the Banda Municipal de Madrid which was available until the dissolution of "Raggrupamento." Esquivias died in the first Italian unit, the foreman Giuseppe Pittondo. The 28 started to operate with the Barron column by Illescas, Tanks and nectarines then returned to the monastery column which had been entrusted with a delicate mission: to meet the long flanks of the attackers from Toledo near Madrid, still unguarded. By then cars were already under the command of English Captain Vidal Cuadras, because as has been said, the captain Oreste Fortuna had been wounded and evacuated. " As you can see, if you really correspond to reality what is presented in this article, then drive cars, addressed one of the orders signed by Varela, was under the command of the captain, which would explain that document in his power.
A group of tanks identical to the driven by Captain Vidal-Cuadras directed forward at an unspecified location, maybe Madrid?.
And here chronicle friends and the summary of an interesting collection of games that bullfighting was very good game between the fans and will surely give you much more from the publication of the magazine article that Madrid Front presented next Tuesday, November 16 at seven in the evening as well in the unique and monumental part of Lourdes College, where the famed right intervene Antonio Morcillo "President" with a new sample bullfighting games this time will focus on the central issue of the journal article that appears: "The Bridge of Death", ie the bridge, or bridges to be exact, which the army lay on the Manzanares Franco throughout the war to maintain contact with the wedge established in the City University and Hospital. This structure was a part, or continuation of the communication channel that was built in the House and took the name of the Generalissimo track, on which Antonio Morcillo and wrote a lengthy and detailed article in the CC of this publication . We are confident that both the conference as the subsequent discussion will be of great interest, since in this particular issue Gefrema has much to say because, thanks to research carried out since this association is located and cataloged the remains of the military structure still preserved and thanks to this initiative can now be visited.
Home magazine's 18th Front of Madrid to be presented on Tuesday November 16 and whose cover story is an interesting study on the bridge across the river Manzanares communicated wedge forces established by Franco on the university campus and the Clinical to the rear.
If you allow me some advice, if you are interested in history and in particular of the Civil War period, must not miss the monthly conferences organized by the association, characterized by objectivity and historical accuracy in a topic highly politicized and often manipulated as is the Civil War. In addition to that as I said earlier the discussions, or chats, are even more interesting if possible, than the conferences themselves. And take from these lines to launch the virtual space Sandoval repeats a phrase regularly referring to the "Evening of Lourdes" throwing stones and hiding the hand "cool and sevido Catalan Cava by a waiter and in the Blanquerna I know that is not possible, but a wine with a Thumbelina Madrid at the end of the debate would no more " . What has this man tables, but tables ... Florentino
