 The troops are called together, the company is assembled to elect representatives to attend the big meeting, to celebrate the uniting of all the militia regiments into the new brigades of the people's army, the clenched fist of republican Spain, Enrique Lista, a stone mason from Galicia. In six months of fighting, he rose from a simple soldier in the command of a division. He is one of the most brilliant young soldiers of the republican army. Carlos, one of the first commanders of the fifth regiment. He talks of the army of the people, how they are fighting for Spanish democracy and for the government they themselves have chosen. Together we should win a new strong Spain. He used to work 12 hours a day as a type setter before he became a member of the Spanish parliament. Gustav Regra, one of the fine writers of Germany who came to Spain to fight for his ideals. He was gravely wounded in June. Regra praises the unity of the people's army, the defense of Madrid, who remind men always of our loyalty and courage. The most famous woman in Spain today is speaking. They call her La Pasionaria. She speaks of the new Spain. It is a nation disciplined and brave. It is a new nation forged in the discipline of its soldiers and the enduring bravery of its women. The loudspeaker broadcasts to the rebels. Living in the cellars of that ruined building are the enemy. They are moors and civil guards. They are brave troops or they would not have held out after their position is hopeless. But they are professional soldiers fighting against the people in arms. Trying to impose the will of the military and the will of the people. And the people hate them. For without their tenacity and the constant aid of Italy and Germany, the Spanish revolt would have ended six weeks after it began. This battalion goes on leave and Julian, who is with them, has three days leave to the village. Duke of Alba's palace is destroyed by rebel bombardment. Treasures of Spanish art are carefully salvaged by government militiamen.
