Hallo zusammen,

Spanish Republic, rest in peace! After three years of struggle, the republic has succumbed to a united front of Latin fascists.

To mark this seminal event, I picked a child's drawing from the "They Still Draw Pictures" collection. Perhaps you'll find it as interesting as I do: http://orpheus.ucsd.edu/speccoll/tsdp/frame.html

Of course, the unravelling of the socialist camp does not stop there. The USSR, after a promising start, is equally history. Lenin must be turning in his grave - and, in his Mexican exile, Trotsky probably feels vindicated in his belief that "Socialism in One Country" was an unworkable approach... So we have our first player elimination. Nigs, please do not forget to submit an EOG for later publication.

Now, the socialists' camp has also taken another hit, if we count France as being socialist on account of her Popular Front government. The French colonial troops in Tripoli simply couldn't withstand the uninhibited shelling of their positions by Anglo-Egyptian forces. Similarly, France's position in the Levant has been overrun, spelling at least for now the end to the French overseas empire. Yet at least in Metropolitan France the news is somewhat more positive as the Armée de Terre managed to halt the German advance on the capital, while Brest remained in French hands thanks to an Anglo-Spanish standoff there.

Matters in the Balkans have also been on the move. Hitherto proudly independent Hungary and Croatia have finally bowed to outside pressure, the Germans gaining the upper hand in the former, while the Turks conquered the latter. Though Turkish Balkan conquests did not stop there as Atatürk managed to oust the Poles from Rumania and seize those Ploesti oil fields...

Farther north, it's equally been a bad season for the lesser powers. Belgium moved into Britain's sphere of influence, whereas German ambitions in Sweden have finally been crowned with success. So, in total, the number of as yet truly independent lesser powers has been halved in a matter of months.

The Winter 1938 Retreats/Adjustments are due NLT 6PM CET on Wednesday, 26 May.

Frohe Pfingsten/Happy Pentecost!

Charles

PIC OF THE DAY: "Consequences of the war, death of a hero and the pain of a mother", Concepción Rodríguez (aged 13), Valencia 1936-39(?).


POEM OF THE DAY:

Mass

At the end of the battle the fighter lay dead. A man came to him
and said: 'Don't die! I love you too much!'
But the corpse, alas, went on dying.

Two came to him and again said:
'Don't leave us! Take heart!
Come back to life!'
But the corpse, alas, went on dying.

Then twenty, a hundred, a thousand,
Five hundred thousand, came, crying:
'So much love and yet so powerless against death!'
But the corpse, alas, went on dying.

Millions surrounded him,
pleading together:
'Brother, don't leave us!'
But the corpse, alas, went on dying.

Then, all the men on earth
stood round him. The corpse eyed them sadly,
overwhelmed. He got up slowly,
embraced the first man, started to walk…
