Línea de fuego

During the night of July 24-25, 1938, the 11th Mixed Brigade of the Republican army crossed the river to establish a bridgehead at Castellets del Segre. In the vicinity of the town, half a battalion of infantry, a Moroccan tabor, and a company of the Legion defended the area. The Battle of the Ebro, the most brutal and bloody ever fought on Spanish soil, was about to begin.
