[edit] Santoña
This edit, summarized as "Santoña in context", is pretty major and gives no citation. In particular, it removes and seems to contradict an earlier version that said "While the refugees are embarking under Italian control to the British ships, Nationalist battle cruisers enter the port and force the Basques to disembark. The Italians have to withdraw from the port and the refugees will be imprisoned." On this sort of change I'd expect citation or at least more of a comment (& better late than never). - Jmabel | Talk 05:47, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi Jmabel, I have restored the missing paragraph but the reader must note that it is hard to believe that when Juan Ajurriaguerra, then chairman of the Bizkai Buru Batzar, negotiated the rendition with the Italians, he expected them to betray Franco and let them go. As this is a chronology, I will leave the text as it stands. Nevertheless, there should be a mention of the Eusko Gudarostea or XIV Batallion of Republican Army (XIV cuerpo de Ejército de la Republica) disobeying the orders of the Republican government to tactically retreat to Asturias. All this is covered in Xuan Cándano's new book. Regards, Asterion 07:41, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
- Feel infinitely free to flesh it out, and thanks for the citation (a more specific citation would still be nice: this article is way under-cited because it came initially from a site that gave us permission to copy, but which did not provide sources, but that's no reason it should stay poorly cited.) Assuming that it is accurate that the refugees ended up imprisoned, that seems relevant, no? - Jmabel | Talk 05:03, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

- No problem. I left the book in Spain but going on holiday in a fortnight time. I shall bring it back and add page numbers, etc. --Asterion 05:08, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Santander is not a basque city
Just to mention it. Santander was not, and is not, a Basque province nor a basque city. It's an autonomous province (nowadays known as Cantabria) next to the basque country. It should be corrected.
