Unused / unissued material - no paperwork - dates unclear or unknown Spain. (Possibly near Portuguese border) Sequence of quick shots from areas in Spanish Civil War. Views over rooftops of a town, signs of damage on some roofs. Broken window with slogan ’Viva Espana’ painted on it. (Nationalist slogan). Dead body lies by the roadside. Crashed or shot down fighter plane in town centre. A crowd have gathered around it. Crashed or shot up cars. People sit outside building, possibly wounded. Long row of corpses. Pan along row of charred / burnt bodies. Shots of people - mainly in uniform - shot by firing squad. The wall behind them is marked with bullet holes. Several CUs of corpses faces. Some shots repeat. Troops walk past camera. More shots of bodies by roadside. Shots of shot down plane. Troops and children wave at the camera (I think they are Nationalists). Shots of damage to Church tower and building. Pan across rooftops. More damaged buildings and cars. Yet more dead bodies, these ones
