I appreciate that this war was, as civil wars often are, very traumatic. There were atrocities on both sides as detailed in the Anthony Beevor book/s and others. However, it is now 70 years ago, and many of us would like to visit battle sites etc but it seems as if the Spanish want to sweep it all under the carpet. Is it still such a sensitive subject?. I was in Spain between 1956 and 1958 and know what the Franco regime was like but would have thought enough time has elapsed as there can't be many civil war veterans alive.
