@barkingmad33 TRAGIC that Wolff and his cohorts did not denounce the Soviet Union's atrocities. They seemed to inhabit a bizarre moral universe, where fascists were wrong (agreed), yet left-wing totalitarians (like Stalin and Mao) received NO condemnation. Now, nobody familiar with Hemingway would call his thinking subtle. Yet he refused to be drawn in by the Loyalists, who were dominated by Socialists and Communists.

@barkingmad33 Wolff was a brave man and highly competent officer, no doubt about it.

I am very much interested in getting this version....

Milton Wolff arrived in Spain in March of 1937. He trained first as a medic and then as a machine gunner with the Washington Battalion (later the Lincoln-Washington). He fought in the battles of Brunete, Quinto, and Belchite. By Fuentes de Ebro, he was commander of a machine gun company. By Teruel, he was captain and adjutant. Then, when Commander Dave Reiss was killed, Wolff took over the battalion, eventually leading it in a great offensive across the Ebro and into the Sierra Pandols.
This is a very interesting film. Thanks a bunch for posting it. You have great taste.

My pleasure and thanks, 'grouchy! It's a rare day when my taste is noted as palatable. (BTW, this is reminding me to post the playlist of this on a certain left-of-centre site where it should be accessible as cautionary tale, The Movement thanks you)
