- English abstract
- During the Spanish Civil War, around 50,000 ‘fascists’ were murdered in Republican Spain, including at least 8,000 in Madrid. Many of the executions in the Spanish capital were carried out on the orders of the Provincial Committee of Public Investigation (CPIP), a Popular Front revolutionary tribunal. This article discusses the experiences of leading CPIP figures following the dissolution of the so-called ‘checa’ in November 1936 and their struggle for survival under the post-war Franco regime and provides insight into the brutal nature of the repression carried out by the victors of the fratricidal conflict.
