Video

The BBC did an excellent short radio play about this on the 50th anniversary of the tragedy.

The atrocities of Republicans are never mentioned, which is a shame

Kinda weird that at 15:00, the music turns to two Christmas carols - at 15:00 it's Carol of the Bells, and at 15:50 it's Oh Come, Oh Come, Emmanuel... Odd, that.

I lived in Spain for 5 years. I went to university in Madrid as an American student. I ended up staying and getting my bachelors there. What I noticed is that there’s a significant population who are proud and talk openly about their family ties to the dictatorship. I went a school where many of the Spanish students were from upper class families. I’d oftentimes find myself shocked when I’d hear the comments of my Spanish peers praising Franco. Many of the elite/wealthy still praise the regime and teach their kids to do the same. Feels like many on the right (not all) are the ones that want to forget while still praising Franco. Hard to forget when you have people constantly reminding you of how “good things use to be”. Reminder, they weren’t great times lol. Just my humble opinion I’m not here to offend or draw anyone’s ire.

Brezhnev is now contending with that man. It's not going well for Brezhnev. ☠💀☠

You didn't even mention the security features of the bills

I always asked this since I live right a few minutes away from Switzerland.

I it was pretty much sealed after this as after this he died in the plane crash.

YOU look weird.

Euro design means nothing

Willhelm Tell is actually featured in the recent 5 franc coin

I would love to see hoe you create your videos. So great.

It took 45 seconds to subscribe.

Amazing editing skills 100/10

it's soo funny to watch this vid as a swiss person 😂😂 because its so normal for me :)

🙈🙉🙊

Многие остановки - выпускные работы студентов-архитекторов. Поскольку это "малая форма", то на них обычно закрывали глаза. Кроме того многие из них могли быть изготовлены в кооперации с учениками-строителями из техникумов, не привлекая рабочих домостроительных комбинатов. Материалы давали шефствующие предприятия. В общем это такой большой дипломный проект, от которого была практическая польза. Ну и разумеется в стилистике выпускников сильно не ограничивали и даже предлагали сделать что-то необычное.

You should send the edit to the Swiss goverment.

in conclusion the UK is literally to blame for everything

I actually started viewing this because it looked like a fun fact but i could not end it ...... the drama..... so much drama.... dammmmm The fact is interesting by itself it does not need any more "help"

How dare you compare that place to the paradise which is the Democratic People's Republic of Korea!🇰🇵

Maybe it is not worthy to comment a video from a year ago, but I felt moved to do it. And maybe you will find here something to speak about in future videos. Firstly, sorry for my English if I made any mistake. 1 - One problem with Spanish Civil War national perception is the 40 years judgment made by Franco's regime after the conflict. Known as "Causa General Franquista", it was a judicial procedure for condemning the "republican criminal acts". A huge summary that collects thousands of "republican crimes" before and during the conflict. Of course, the judgment was made without any garatees and most of the cases are made up or changed to picture the republic as a monstrosity. It is a judgement to justify the Franco's revolt and communicate a picture of justice and transparency that gives some legitimacy to the regime. Many Spanish right-wing writers that speak about the Republic use these documents to justify the coup version of the conflict. The weight of that narrative built by Franco's government was not really publicly dispute until 2004 Zapatero's government. Even today, if you read any historical book at school, this narrative still remains as a "two sides perspective" (besides most of the times it is a fake one). For that reason, many republicans push even today for recognition and justice over the Franco's regime. Not just because they don't forget it. It is because there was a full fake judicial procedure over the republicans and any repercussion over the coup plotters. Plotters that, in fact, even today are the main part of the elites in the country. 2 - In my opinion, one of the things that Spanish civil war represents is a consequence of a loooong period of imperial identity crisis that even today remains alive. There is a problem to construct a common national identity after the falling of the Spanish Empire. A process that accelerates after 1898 Cuba's War, known in Spain as "Crisis del 98". The nation of Spain is built at the same time that the modern state and emerges almost at birth as an Imperial superpower. So, saying I'm Spanish meant more or less the same as "I'm British". Part of your national identity is a multi-kingdom territory united by a common imperial crown. When the powerful empire disappears, the reason to gather around an imperial crown lacks of sense and if we are not part of an imperial crown... What are we? Remember, we came from a multi-kingdom structure, you are from one region that cooperates with others because the imperial power. If there's now imperial project in common... The nation starts to crash between "nationalities". I think Brits will suffer a similar process in future: the crown will be in question more and more, and the different part of the kingdom will demand more and more political independence. Spain has historical events to build a common narrative that could unite the country. But the problem is that most of them collide with the work done by the Borbon's House: Independence National War against France, the 1812 constitution, etc. So, Spain lacks of a moment that The People, as a State-Nation, recognize itself as a People sovereign responsible of its path in history. France has the Frech Revolution, German the unification, Italy the same, even UK has the English Civil Wars... But Spain never managed to agree in one. So even today we have heavy pro-independency regional movements. Franco's failed in building that common narrative too because he exposed a picture of a nation that no more existed, a picture of an old powerful imperial nation. The problem is that there's no Spanish Empire anymore. So not everybody will buy you the national-pride speech when they are demanding political power.

Another in the endless list of examples of Soviet evil. Brezhnev and the bootlickers around him were utter scum. If this had happened in a western country, you'd have Leftoids screaming about "muh capitalist greed". Interesting how they're oddly silent this time.

Yes, it was terrible. But not nearly as bad as it would have been if the Reds had won.

@14:44 -- wasn't Soyuz a *space* craft? Not an aircraft.

Liberals never disappoint 😅😂 especially if the explanatory video is from the UK or some English speaking country. Once again your propaganda is trying to weak the great Spain still hiding in the conscience of Spaniards.

Bald & Bankrupt must have sponsored this video 🤣

It's a rare day I feel proud of being swiss. Thank you for this wonderfully crafted video!

I don't care who you, what you stand for, or what you believe. The moment you murder innocent people, you've already lost

“Communist space program” is like “Lion petting zoo”. It’s gonna be a bloody disaster.

where can I find more works of Jörg Zintzmeyer?

But the important thing to remember is that there’s nothing wrong with communism - it’s just hasn’t been implemented correctly yet. And it would work really well in America right ? Hahahahha Marxism : always just one more murder away from utopia

I have nothing but the utmost respect for the cosmonauts of the old Soviet Union. These were all very brave human beings who lifted off from our world to explore the void of space, and Komarov was one of the bravest.

Naruhodo, terimakasih banyak atas informasinya

I have wondered if Yuri Gagarin was purposely killed because he was angry with and publicly questioned Brezhnev. The unauthorized plane was a way to kill Gagarin

If your train arrives early, you were going too fast.

Komarow was the real first man in space.

You should read some books from sergius golowin. The history Part is very wrong. But Nice to hear what other countries think or get teached.. 😂 Cheers

7:40 you are right, what they should do is build 10,000 museums just about the civil war and having events every month were they take school kids to cry and remember the anarchist freedom fighter

4:20 evidence of Francois repression… is a picture of communist repression, the irony

I can see why people hate those from the middle east

“Prepare to meet thy god” is such a powerful quote.

Why are american buss stops overrun with drug addicts and rapists?

Suburban business stops have no shelter from weather.

they looks cool af if you ask me

This isn't actually entirely accurate; William (Wilhelm) Tell is actually still portrayed on the five frank coin. Other people are also featured on the coins.

Canada is partially vertical. 10 dollar bill is vertical.

Im not paranoid

Go Putin!!!!

You left out a lot . But to be expected from an English person as yous don't study what yous did in Ireland in school. Ironic yous are asking Israel to stop when yous done the same to so many countries
